Photo-album from a family car trip to Norway
This photo-album is from a family car-trip to Norway. We were impressed by the central part of the country, full of mountain rivers, waterfalls and rocks. We were ready to meet at least a dinosaur at any corner. We also saw the 8th Wonder of the World - the Atlantic road that connects 6 islands in the ocean. Both kids and adults were very impressed!
