Norway is My Neverland

My obsession with Disney is probably old news to many of you but my favorite book is actually Peter Pan by Sir James M. Barrie. While the book is much darker and allegorical than the whimsical cartoon portrayal, both revolve around a beautiful paradise called Neverland.

After a few days into my fjord trip, I started noticing just how much Norway reminded me of Neverland. Both are as mysterious as they are magical, as geographically intimidating as they are breathtakingly beautiful.

This is how I imagine Neverland - Geiranger

Here is one way to get there - spotted in Håholmen

Enter the forest - Åndalsnes

A Skull Rock Lookalike - en route to Geiranger

Mermaid Lagoon – Stryn/Loen

Pirate Ships, (Viking Ships in this case) - Kvernes Stave Church

Walk the Plank – Geiranger

Creating a Rainbow – Geiranger

    The fjords, landscape and scenery of Norway is similar to where I live, BC Canada. So I guess BC, Canada is my Neverland :) Gorgeous pictures!!

    The best way that I have found to explain Norway to people when they as me how it was is to tell them that every photo that we took looked like a photo out of a postcard. It really is a magical place!
