Preparing for Norway

[Nelson Atwell]

I leave Sunday for three weeks. They're only getting around nine hours of daylight now, and they say the weather is cold and wet this time of year.

This is from my trip in July. The fjords are beautiful.

I lived in oslo from 98 until august last year. one year it rained from october until december. it will be overcast every day, and the days are getting short.



if you are lucky, it will be below 30 and snowing, I will take snow and 25 degrees over 32 and rainy anyday. 9 hours sounds a little high, over there, the sun never gets that high so it takes a long time for the sun to rise and set. Snow makes everything seem lighter and you notice peoples spirits are a bit better than usual.



good luck, I honestly dont miss it. it was a depressing place for me, and I am half norwegian.
