Voyage to Viking-Land (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Voyage to Viking-Land

The following pages are all an introduction to one of the loveliest countries of the Old World which it has been the pleasure of the writer to visit. It is the itinerary of a most delightful voyage along the coast of Norway of a happy party of tourists, who, on pleasure bent, were blessed with an excellent steamer, fine weather, good appetites, and a capacity for enjoyment only limited by the daily supply which the circum stances offered.

It was like cruising in one's own yacht, without its responsibilities and cares. The glories of the silent fjords, the wonderful glaciers, and the majestic water falls, were seen to their very best advantage, while few tourists to this region obtain such unobstructed views of the splendours of the midnight sun. With the exception of the portraits, almost all of the illustra tions are reproduced from photographs taken by the writer on the trip, the larger portion from the steamer's deck while sailing through the fjords, and along the shores.
