Hi
Yes Norway is a fantastic country to travel. The north of Norway, whitch I was born, I think is the best part of it. I bicykled a part of the north in the summer(650 km) and had many fantastic moments.

In 1972 we drove down through Norway from Finland via Nordkapp (North Cape) to Kristiansand in an estate version of this car on our way home from Moscow!!:-



I have a superb speeded up 16mm film of the sun taken looking due North at Nordkapp through midnight on the 20th/21st of June that year and film of our Humber exiting the tunnel on Magerøya. In those days there was a single track unsurfaced and unlit tunnel on Magerøya and a ferry between Honningsvag and Repvag, not the modern tunnel to the Norwegian mainland.

My Alpine won't float! I need one which does!!
