We were only in Copenhagen and Denmark for a very few days. We enjoyed it although I was beset by some variant of Covid so my energy level was down and the threshold for fatigue was very low. Most of our time in Scandinavia was spent in Norway on the ferry that goes up the coast to Kirkenes, with expeditions on shore and inland at selected places.
Hope you're feeling well again ?
Must have been an interesting trip with "Hurtigruten" up the coast of Norway - to see Norway from the sea. In the winter time you can see "Northern Light" or "Aurora borealis". That I sure would like to see. And the ferry sails all year around ;-)

It was anything but dark once we crossed the Arctic Circle. In fact, we had some of our sunniest weather there, and the warmest day, so no chance whaever of seeing the Aurora. BTW: We came to Roskilde to visit both the museum with Viking-era ships and the cathedral. We were quite smitten by the town.

Another BTW: One of my grandmothers was a Pedersen, born in Norway. I have the impression that "Pedersen" is almost as common a name in Scandinavia as Smith or Jones is in the USA.

Glad you liked the town ;-)
And you are quite right about Pedersen - it is as common as Smith or Jones ;-) But Petersen is even more.

FOLLOWUP on several posts comparing gas (petrol) prices.

The station where I purchase now has regular just below $4.50/US gallon. Maybe inflation is at least slowing down.

Here's another one from Malmo.
