                <description><![CDATA[A short-break to Tromso in Northern Norway to see the northern lights is just the most romantic thing I have ever done. <br>Never mind you are wrapped up in layers of thermal wear, the light show in the skies are just a thousand times more romantic than a sunset will ever be.<br>On the Hurtigruten cruise you also get to go to the North Cape, which is really cool to say that you have been. There is amazing food onboard, a really relaxed and non-cruise like feeling, and the hot tub on the top deck is an absolute winner - even in minus five degrees!<br>All in all it's just a really cool and romantic getaway.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The Lofoten Islands is the perfect place for a family holiday. <br>Norway is really child friendly, safe and in Lofoten there is loads of fun things to do for everyone.<br>You can go whale watching in sea kayaks, go rock climbing, and above all fishing! <br>There's nothing catching and cooking your supper yourself and the children will definitely love it too.<br>The nature in Lofoten is so beautiful, and it gets quite hot in the summers too - with the midnight sun shining 24hours a day.]]></description>

                <title>Cross-country Skiing under the Northern Lights</title>

                <description><![CDATA[The best way to avoid disappointment is to combine hunting for the Northern Lights with something else that's fun and different. Tromsø, Norway, is a great place to do just that. I went dog sledding which was so much fun I nearly forgot why I was there in the first place. With seven Huskies dragging you into the quiet wilderness on a sledge, the Northern Lights is an added bonus if it shows up, but even without it you would not go home feeling left out. My best night however was the cheaper option of renting cross country skis from the Intersport shop in town and heading for the free, open 24hrs, floodlit slopes on the island, just a short walk from the town centre! The calming feeling of sliding along on the skis, taking in the fresh air, makes the northern lights even more spectacular. Best of all, you wont have to 'share the experience'with anyone else, which often is the case on organised tours. And the downhills provide an added thrill! <br>The city itself is known in Norway for being one of the most hospitable – with a buzzing nightlife.]]></description>
