Slow Travel in Scandinavia: Lakes, Glaciers, Forest Fairy Tales, and the Midnight Sun

Hello, I'm the Traveling Cat🐱 Exploring Scandinavia and sharing authentic experiences➿ 🔸From May 25th to June 18th, my husband and I embarked on our first long-distance trip after retirement—a journey through five Nordic countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland) and Tallinn, Estonia🏰 🔸During our 25-day Scandinavian adventure, we experienced a mix of transportation: planes, trains, cruise ships, self-driving, and ferries (with our car)🚁 🔸It was a feast of nature and culture: Norway's fjords, carved like a giant's masterpiece, with glaciers that took our breath away; Sweden and Finland's endless green seas of forests and lakes, dotted with wild blueberries and tiny flowers; Denmark and Tallinn's colorful wooden houses, straight out of a fairy tale; and Iceland—the isolated grandeur at the edge of the world🏔 🔸In June, Scandinavia's near-endless summer daylight gave us our first glimpse of the midnight sun. For the first time, we traversed landscapes where forests, lakes, fjords, and glaciers intertwined—every frame like a page torn from a storybook🌿 🔸We slowed down, no longer chasing time, letting Scandinavia's beauty seep into our souls. Each day felt like a gift. 🔸As the Nordic painter Peder Balke once said: "The abundant beauty of nature poured into my eyes and soul." 🔸This wasn’t just a trip—it felt like an inner affirmation: that we, too, could be the most reliable travelers. 🔸Next, I’ll take you into this legendary northern realm, sharing travel tips and experiences♥️
