First, I want to thank you for all the work you did before and also while we were on our trip. It was very nice to know you were there and I could contact you when needed. Everything ran very smoothly after we got to Norway. We were able to see all the places we wanted to and found the people very friendly and helpful all along the way.
Norway is the most beautiful country. There is no graffiti or trash or broken down cars, farm equipment, etc anywhere to be be seen. Everyone seems to take pride in their property and it shows. The countryside was beautiful and it was not too hard driving there, driving through the mountains into Geiranger and Balestrand was awesome and scary.
The hotels were great in every place we stayed. I highly recommend the hotel in Geiranger, Utsikten Hotel. The view from our hotel window was spectacular! The Kviknes in Balestrand was exceptionally nice also. The smorgasbord there is the best anywhere…a huge buffet of many kinds of foods. Highly recommend it! The Scandic was nice and modern.
The Hotel Victoria where we stayed in Stavanger is highly recommended also. Great location, very nice large rooms, fabulous steak house and cocktail lounge right in the hotel. We loved this hotel. It did have an elevator even though it is an old hotel. The Hotel Risor is also very picturesque and nice ambiance. However we were on the 3rd floor with no elevators. WE had too much luggage, I think!)
