With a heavy heart, this is our final blog post about Norway. If you have been following our adventures, surely you have been amazed by the magnificent fjords here and also mesmerized by the stunning Northern Lights ( Aurora Borealis ) here . #Day 6: Tromsø - Oslo, Norway  Next stop – Oslo, the capital of Norway! The cheapest way to get there is by taking the NSB train to Oslo Central Station priced at NOK 93 per way. With approximately 25 minutes of train ride, we arrived at Oslo. Once we were at Oslo, we realized that the city doesn’t felt as safe as the other places in Norway. There are many refugees, beggars and foreigners in the city. At night, we even heard people screaming on the streets. As our accommodation was Comfort Hotel Xpress Central Station just opposite of Oslo Central Station.  Before we went for dinner, we shopped for fish oil capsules at one pharmacy and we were so lucky that the pharmacy was having a promotion for this fish oil brand.

Aurora Borealis, we are coming for you! Some people spend days to hunt the Northern Lights, some people are just unlucky as they couldn't catch it no matter how long it takes. The weather in Norway had not been pleasant to us until now with constant rain from Day 1. Hopefully, the clouds will clear up soon enough so that we could watch the lights dancing in the sky.

No doubt that Norway is one of the top five most expensive countries to live in the world due to their high living cost. But, we just couldn’t resist their incredible scenery - a stunning fjord view, a breathtaking walk in the village surrounding by fjord, and not forgetting the magnificent northern light ( Aurora Borealis ) which is only available in a few countries around the world.

It is very important to have good accommodation when you are travelling so that you could have a good rest and enjoy your vacation happily. This is why we are always very choosy when it comes to selecting our accommodation no matter where we are travelling to. 

It all started with the dream of waking up to the stunning and spectacular/breathtaking fjord view, crossing the magical Arctic Circle to meet Santa Claus, experiencing Swedish “Fika” culture at a Swedish café and hunting for aurora borealis in the northern region of Norway. What a luxurious dream, right? Yes indeed, but we did it in an economical way by travelling across Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia for only RM11,800 per person (ALL IN). Stay with us as we share our money-saving tips, what to eat and what you need to know about these countries.
