Eidfjord, Norway
I've just come back from Norway, where we spent two wonderful weeks cruising the beautiful fjords, going right up into the Arctic Circle to the North Cape - home of the midnight sun.
Leknes, Lofoten Islands, Norway
I won't bore you with too much of the amazing scenery, on to a few of the sweet treats that I had - it's tough having to force down desserts like this every day! I didn't take loads of photos because I got a lot of strange looks and was in danger of being labelled a weirdo!

Tiramisu and a fresh fruit Pavlova
Rich chocolate fudge cake and an eclair
Chocolate mousse cake and my favourite, a blackberry cheesecake

All pastries are looking so yummy, esp the chocolate fudge cake ^^.
You are such a talented photographer. I just want to jump right in and EAT!
Hi! I just moved to Oslo, and your photos are fantastic!
Where did you have those amazing desserts? I'm looking for good things around here...
Oh you poor thing having to eat all those desserts! That must have been hard:-) Next time you could take me along and I will gladly help eat them for you!
Beautiful and peaceful country !
You had right to indulge with these sweet treats !
You had a great journey and a superb break. The food and the country both look so beautiful.
Beautiful pictures! I love Norway!! I have been there for about 6 times! I am also in love with this beautiful country!!
Never been to Norway...yet have almost been now. WOW...you've had a gorgeous 2 weeks, Nic. Thrilled for you. Well deserved holidays, & sweet beyond belief! It's really not fair you know...all these desserts. Is it legal for one person to post so many yummmies in one post alone? How did you choose 'which one'...or hey, don't tell me you had them all! ♥
What a great trip you had! I loved the photos!
Totally jealous, I would love to see Norway and the fjords...beautiful. Welcome back and post more photos!
what does it say about me that i'd much rather look at food than gorgeous, breathtaking scenery? hmm. those treats look awesome, obviously, and it's striking how many of them are garnished with a stick of some sort. :)
Wow - you must have had a fantastic time Nic! Norway looks really lovely.
You certainly got fed well too! Great pictures as always.

Wow, Norway looks breathtakingly beautiful! And those desserts, I want to jump into the screen and gobble them up! :o) Beautiful photos, as always!
Oh, go ahead, bore us with photos. :-) It might be the only way I ever make it to Norway, though those desserts are certainly a new source of temptation to fit it into my next itinerary somehow!
How lovely - both the scenery and the desserts/cakes...
Drooling over the cakey pix! They all look fab!
Beautiful scenery too, have never been there but looks like a nice place to visit :)
Looks like a wonderful holiday. The tiramisu looks divine.
I am glad you had so much fun here! I have not yet been able to go through the fjords myself... but hopefully soon. Those yummy treats sure do look delicious!

Thanks for sharing snippets of your vacation with us Nic. Norway is a beautiful country.
GORGEOUS. The pics of Norway, I mean. The dessert pics are just a mean, mean tease. :p I don't eat eggs or gelatin, which pretty much generally leaves ANY commercially made, and most homemade desserts out for me! :wah: :lol:
WOW! Great shots and welcome to Sunday Stills..:-)
So breathtaking! What a wonderful part of the world to see and those desserts are the best!
The Norwegian coast is certainly breathtaking. I did a cruise there too, ages ago. Did you take the Hurtigruten too?
I love the mountains and hiking, and I am so in love with the gorgeous picture of the mountains in Norway. The desserts are so tempting, esp the tiramisu. Perfect dessert, perfect place!
The colors on your blog are amazing. I can almost smell it... No blog has ever made me wish I could reach through my screen so badly!
Love the look of those desserts, great photos as usual Nic
Thanks everyone!
solomi558 - that's not my recipe, just something we ate when we were there.
esther - no we didn't this time, but might do if we go again!
onamichin - wow, thanks!!

Your blog is nice. Thanks for opening this blog. My blog is about
Norway Online newspaper

I'd love to visit - especially cruising the fjords as you did!
Not sure if I'd still be able to fit into my wardrobe if I had to battle against those desserts on a daiy basis though...!
