Hidden Gems - a photo on Flickriver

Hidden Gems

            Svolvær, Nordland, Austvågøya, Lofoten, Norway

We booked this holiday way before the series “Race Across the World” aired. The final destination was Tromsø, at the top of the cable car station overlooking the city. That’s as much research as I did (Mrs R did a lot more!). As this was an organised tour, I didn’t want to disappoint myself with locations and photo-shoots that I couldn’t visit but rather happy to go with the flow and see what transpires.

What surprised and impressed me the most was the little towns we stayed at along the route… namely Narvik and Svolvær. These are beautiful places to stay and the hotel standards… five stars in my book, but that probably reflects the high standard of living in Norway and is the norm. After the photography tour we had a free morning to wander around the town before heading north to catch the fast ferry back to Tromsø.
