Land of the Nothern Lights..

I had once before read someone say “There is simply is no way you tour through europe and not be awestruck..  From its Northern Lights to its Southern shores, it is thrilling, surprising and confusing with the extraordinary  sights, sounds, people and parties..”

When I initially landed in Berlin, Germany, there was obviously the huh and haa.. A new foreing country, new people, different language, everything good and pretty like in a canvas, streets and shops and houses like in the novels we read.. I was definitely lost absorbing it all, and never got tired of the number of pictures I took everyday.. I remember my work mates telling me, ‘you will see this every day, you don’t have to take a picture’.. but for me even the flowers and vegetables looked beautifull.. 

Cause work keeps me and my friends bussy I must say I have not toured the whole of Berlin yet..  But anyways, as I will be here in Berlin for quite sometime, I have taken it for granted thinking I will do that with time..

Well getting back to the awesomeness of Europe., recently me and a couple of my friends made a weekend getaway, to the land of the Nothern lights, Norway.. It was a all girly trip..

Oslo is renovating and I guess reinventing itself. The city is filled with museums and art gallaries and there is the harbour and the attracting boat rides and also the new Opera house and with the many places to hang out, it was a calm and lovely city..

After the night in Oslo we set off early next morning on this ‘Oslo - Bergen railway line’.. Dead tired after the night out in Oslo, all of us just slept of as we got into the train..  But luckly was woken up by the ticket collector who walked in.. non of us slept even a wink after that..

The Oslo to Bergen Railway, is said to be the worlds most beautiful railway line/journey.. The journey through the scenic mountain roads, the spectacular waterfalls, the rivers that flow through mountains and amidst the forest, the narrow passages, the Fjords, and with the glaciers on mountain tops., it was breathtakingly beautifull..

I truly enjoyed every second of the journey, the train also stopped at some points, where we got off and took in more of the lovely surroundings and yaa took billions of pictures.. We did not get to see the Northern lights, or the aurora borealis. You don’t see it at this time of the year..

I have heard people say, Norway is a once-in-a-lifetime destination..
