The Best of Norway

Best Tunnel - The Laerdals Tunnel

Longest tunnel in the world - 2,500,000m3 of rock excavated over the 5year construction period

Best Park - The University Botanical Gardens, Oslo

Finally a garden that we both enjoyed, it has lovely plantings of all sorts, from rockery, herbs, sensory, Granny’s garden, Vikings, roses, a palm house, museum and plant research buildings, green spaces and a systemic garden (whatever that is).

Best Tour - Nobel Peace Prize Museum, Oslo

Best Free Tour - Kniven Viewpoint and Stairs, Alesund

Best Food - Reindeer Stew & Pikelet Sandwich with Brown Cheese and Butter

Brown cheese and butter pikelet. Brunost or brown cheese is just cheese boiled until it caramelises.

Best Beer - Ringnes

Definitely Ringnes wins the award but the other two were close...

It's written in Norwegian - ezy pezy!
