In Norway we stayed in two different hotels. The first hotel we stayed in was the Comfort Hotel Xpress in Oslo. It was a hotel and it cost us €34 to stay there each night.

The second place we stayed was in Bergen, which is in the west of Norway. We stayed in the Best Western Hordaheimen Hotel. It cost us €45 to stay there each night.

Ice Ice Baby!

In Norway we stayed in an ice hotel.

We went dogsledding with an eskimo named Emil. Orla’s dog went a bit mad on her and just wouldn’t slow down.

In the evening we watched the northern lights they were amazing. It was such an unbelievable experience. Here’s a video we took of them ….

Farvel Norway

In The Jungle The Mighty Jungle The Lion Sleeps Tonight

When we were in Brazil, we took a small plane into the amazon.

We stayed four days in the rainforest during which time, we kayaked down the amazon, camped next to the river, fed the monkeys fruit and spoke to the natives through our tour guide Carlos.

It was really beautiful within the jungle and we really didn’t want to leave
