In June of 2019, about 25 of us from Portland and Vancouver, took the Hurtigruten cruise along the coast of Norway roundtrip from Bergen to Kirkenes and back. Many of us were friends prior to the trip, led by Joy Schmieg, a travel agent from NW Portland. Quite a few are members of Columbia 58, the Sons of Norway lodge in Vancouver, WA.


After the cruise, 7 travelers continued from Bergen by train to Oslo, then Stockholm and Copenhagen. I was able to meet distant cousins for Frokost (breakfast) in Trondheim, Norway.

The aroma feels fresh at first and slowly becomes more comforting as the hours pass. In the middle phase, What does Asdaaf smell like enhances the experience with a gentle tone that feels elegant, soothing, and well suited for daily use.

This post captured the beauty of traveling with Hurtigruten, especially during summer. The visuals and descriptions were calming. While exploring international education topics, I recently read about the gaokao exam and its intense structure.

June sounds like an ideal time for this kind of journey, with long days and scenery. The experience seems unique. For the gaokao exam, long term preparation and balance are often emphasized by educators.

This post painted such a vivid picture of the experience. The seasonal details and practical insights made it especially engaging. I recently came across a travel reflection on a review blog that echoed many of the same https://thegamecaps.com/ observations, which made this even more enjoyable to read. Great work capturing the atmosphere.
