My favorite place was the Hardanger fyord. We drove around it and took a ferry or two. We stopped and bought fresh cherries and strawberries and hiked up the side, sometimes all the way to the ice. We only ran across a couple of tourists there, and they were from Findland and Denmark. It was very unspoiled and undeveloped.

It was an interesting contrast to a "Norway in a Nutshell" tour in which we sailed on a ship complete with casino and duty free shopping and a large crowd which had just hopped off the cruise ships for the the boat and rail circuit.

<we thought we might make it to Sweden this year>

Note, they have a somewhat funnier election system than USA.

Their, and the present one in Canada, plus the one in Israel, received the best, deepest thumbs down in Canada.

But except for that cold fact, sweden is pretty OK.
(they are actually busy at work, but, just like Canada, not yet ready for too many informed citizens)
