Norway: A breathtaking experience.



Right now, we are in the last country: Norway.



If you have never been to Norway and do not know a lot about it, you will never believe what I am going to tell you.



But first of all I will start by giving you some background information. Norway has a population of approximately 5.000.000 people. The country has a large number of different habitants, more than any other country. The capital and besides the largest city of the country is Oslo.
Norway is not a member of the euro area, so they do not pay with euros but with Norwegian krone (NOK). On this moment is one euro equal to 7,56 NOK.



The scenery in Norway is unbelievable. I had never expected this. I have enjoyed the natural beauty of the fjords and the breathtaking experiences of the mountains. I really swallowed one’s tongue.
Maybe you have heard already of the northern light or also called the aurora? This is visible on a dark night, when you watch in the northern direction. It is a mild glow with above colorful bands that move on.
It originates when electrically charged particles from the sun invade the atmosphere. Those particles are dangled in the space when there is a high solar activity.

The northern light is only noticeable on northern latitudes, namely: Norway, Greenland and Alaska.

Norway is one of the best places to see the aurora. If you want more information about this phenomenon you can always have a look on the internet. When I saw the pictures, I found it astonishing.

Bergen is a city in Norway. This city is on the UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Site. There are a lot of curiosities. There is also a ski resort, wildlife safari, and so much more.

I think this was the best country to end our journey by just relaxing and enjoying the scenery.
