Bergen, Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen
A trip to Scandinavia was in our bucket list for a long time. So when we saw we could issue tickets with our frequent flyer points exactly during Isabella’s winter vacation (remember, I live in Brazil, school’s winter vacation is in July) we didn’t think twice.

Somewhere in Sweden
Here is our itinerary just to give you an idea of what we did.
Day 1 – We arrived in Bergen, Norway in the evening, after 3 flights (Porto Alegre – Rio de Janeiro – London – Bergen). In Bergen we stayed at Scandic Ornen Hotel (highly recommended).
Day 2 – Bergen – A walk around town in the morning and the Mostraumen Fjord Tour in the afternoon (so beautiful).
