We just got back from our vacation in Norway. After a few days in Oslo, where we visiting the beautiful Vigeland park and the Munch museum, and had differ with Einar, we took the bus to Gjendesheim in the Jotunheimen national part. Gjendesheim lies at one end of the Gjende lake (pictured). The area was surrounded by mountains which rose between 400 metres and 1300 metres above the level of the lake. We spend 7 days of walking and did our best to climb them all.
Jotunheimen is a fantastic place to go walking, if one has pistons for legs and no fear of heights, not to mention decent equipment (including proper non-cotton shirts and Gortex raincoat and rainpants). I thoroughly recommend it, though must admit that due to the varying weather conditions contrasting with the spectacular scenery, we experienced both "I hate Norway" and "I love Norway" feelings.
We finished off our holiday in Bergen, which was a very attractive town that I'd recommend to any visitor to Norway. The fjords are magnificent.
