I visited Norway a month ago, and honestly the trip to your beautiful, mountainous, "affordable" country saved me from an outright mental health crisis.
Sailing through the fjords, with the Hjorundfjord, Naeroyfjord, and Trollfjord as some standouts, was exactly what I needed. I remember I was so unhappy with life that I thought I was going to snap.
Well, I'm feeling a lot better, and I'm trying to hold onto that. Don't want to feel the way I used to back before late April.
Hurtigurten was a bit boring but I wanted a unique itinerary and route that I couldn't really find anywhere else, which hurtigurten has. My mom kept criticizing me for spending too much money during the trip (yes I did), but I mostly have zero regrets (I did learn bus tours are not really for me)
Here's a pic flying out of Bergen, one of the most scenic views I've ever had out of a passenger plane (only Wellington, New Zealand can match)
