You're in Norway, right? I have been searching around for a place to go on vacation next year. I have been to Norway and done all the touristy things, but now I am talking about a backpacking trip or a bicycling trip. When I mention it to my cyclist friends, they say, "But, don't you know Norway has mountains?" I always reply, "I don't think their roads go straight up over the mountains."
So, that's what I want to ask you...do you think a cycling trip would be advisable? I can mainly fly in April, May, September, October. Which month would be preferable? Could I do it using a tent? Are there little towns with hotels? Just hit me with your advice, please. If this is a dumb idea, I'll switch it to Tuscany (although I HAVE been wondering about Croatia.😉 )

You better be rich. Norway is an expensive country to go to for us Europeans. Take a good look at the exchange rate between USD and NOK and check the Big Mac Index b4 deciding.

It is expensive at the current exchange rate, but on the other hand, you don't go to Norway to eat Big Macs. You can stay for free or very cheaply at mountain cabins along the trails in Norway. So a bicycle trip need not cost a lot. Staying in hotels is expensive. And drinking is expensive, but fitness swimmers/riders probably don't drink that much anyway.
