During a recent fam trip (familiarisation trip!) to Norway, courtesy of Norwegian.com and Innovation Norway, I (Suzel) was thrilled to bits to re-aquaint myself with the lovely towns of Ålesund, Molde and Kristiansund. Our itinerary started with Norwegian’s direct flight from Gatwick to Ålesund and included a wonderful journey along the Geirangerfjord by RIB boat to Geiranger (look out for our new spa break to the magnificent Union Hotel), an overnight at the unique Juvet Landscape Hotel at Valldal, the spectacular Atlantic Road en route to Kristiansund with a short sojourn by boat to the island of Håholmen (surely an author’s paradise – or paradise to anyone seeking peace, relaxation, great food and – dare I say – enrichment) plus the lovely Surnadal Valley and some of the greatest food EVER! Our return flight to Gatwick from Trondheim travelled via Oslo and avoided the need for us to retrace our route to Ålesund. Thank you Norwegian and Innovation Norway for a great trip and some lasting memories – particularly of Mitch (from Norwegian) getting lost in Ålesund in the wee hours (…….you’re from London for goodness sake Mitch!!).
- A great bunch of people, none of whom I will name as they’re all competitors!!
