Still Searching for the Northern Lights!
Although the primary focus of our recent trip to Norway was to experience seeing the aurora borealis, it rained every day while we were in Narvik and Tromso the best places to see the lights. As explained many times in all the tour literature that seeing the lights is not guaranteed, one could only hope that Mother Nature would allow us to see the show but this time she decided to not participate. The good news though is that we had a fantastic time. Our guide, Atto, was excellent, always providing in depth insights to the areas we visited, always going above and often beyond what was expected and was always extremely kind and caring to a diverse group of people who all enjoyed one another’s company. We had a number of bus drivers during the 12 days of the trip and they were all excellent especially our last driver during the tour extension, Espen. All the included and optional tours were comprehensive. The local guides gave us very interesting information and a history of their local areas. The hotels were all great and often perfectly situated even if the room sizes were small in comparison to US hotel rooms but they were all exceedingly clean and comfortable with very tasty included breakfast buffets.
So even though we did not see the Northern Lights we did see and experience a lot of Norway, a truly delightful country with warm, welcoming people. I highly recommend this trip and our tour guide, Atto.
