Travels in Norway: Knitting, Northern Lights and more
with Linda Wong, Faculty Women’s Club
After spending 5 days in Oslo, I joined an organized Knitting and Northern lights group trip. After touring Oslo, we travelled by train to Bergen where we embarked on a ferry , which took us up the coast to the most northern and eastern points and then back down to Bergen where the trip ended. As indicated by the name of the tour, we learned a lot about Norwegian wool and knitting and I will share some of that in the talk. We were lucky to see the northern lights on 4 different evenings and learned how to photograph this spectacular phenomenon. apps, clothing, photographing them, etc) and a few photos of them. On the ferry, I was impressed by the focus on a lower environmental impact ( less fuel, less food wasted, etc) and an emphasis and pride in Norwegian food and travel.
