Two weeks through Norway that began on the colorful wharf of Bryggen in Bergen, climbed the peaks above the city, and rode an electric catamaran through Nærøyfjord. A seven-hour train took us east to Oslo for palaces, fortresses, and the Nobel Peace Center, and a final flight carried us past the Arctic Circle into the Lofoten Islands, where a chain bolted to a vertical rock face was the only way up Mt. Tjeldbergtind.
