Europe

Norway is unique in more ways than one: for a start, it’s the northernmost country in Europe, with the smallest density in the continent. It also holds number one place in the world in Human Development Index.Norway’s not just a country boasting the highest quality of life, though, it’s also one that’s fantastic to travel! A trip to Norway is like entering the home of Mother Nature herself. Sea and mountain have joined forces to form sublime landscapes:Natural Parks, lakes, glaciers, forests, and stunning fjords. Norway is a country whose scenery changes with the seasons:in summer, prepare for days that go on forever, and a glowing sun that shines even at midnight… In winter, Nature puts on its white jacket and the snow sports begin. It’s also the season during which the Northern Lights are at their most spectacular. Frankly, this ethereal phenomenon alone is worth making the trip! Conveniently, Norway is also&nbsp;an ideal destination for a family trip: what child wouldn’t want to take a visit to the homeland of Father Christmas?

Driving in a foreign country isn't always easy, but in Norway it's not the drivers or the traffic which are the problem, it's the condition of the roads themselves. I now find it impossible to imagine what it must have been like before, when it was the only way to get from one place to another. We arrived at a gentle pace one fabulous summer day taking full advantage of the view and the amazing scenery in <a href="/norway/">this part of Norway</a>. We did panic a bit when an articulated lorry was coming straight on towards a line of cars coming down the road. Fortunately our driver remained calm and got out the way enough to let the lorry manoeuvre! This road is better known as Trollstigen in Norwegian and is scattered with rest areas allowing drivers to take a break from time to time. I would highly recommend that you see the Trollstigen Plateau which offers an amazing view and a bit of a challenge to anyone who doesn't like heights.
