Cruising among the islands in the fjords along the middle coast of Norway.

MS Norge - the special vessel that is only used by the Norwegian royal family

Our ship anchored by the mouth of Svesfjorden.

We hiked along an old wagon road at the end of a small bay called Sandvika. The bay is isolated from the rest of the world since there are no roads. Only 4 small summer cottages were scattered in the meadows.

Our naturalist guide spotted a small frog.

We hiked through a birch forest with an abundance of wildflowers, ferns, lichens and mosses.
