Forward to the fyords!

Visit with Sam

August 19, 2025

After a leisurely drive to Narberth, where we would leave the car before flying from the Philadelphia airport, we were delighted to have the opportunity to visit Sam Mark. Sam gave us a tour of the Mark renovations and joined us for a quick bite.

This was an unexpected highlight of our trip. It’s clear that we’re not very good at blogging because we missed taking a picture. After an 8-hour red-eye flight, we were delighted to arrive in Copenhagen, where Melanie could finally catch up on her sleep.


After the short flight we caught the express train into town I had some angst about the transfer to the hotel and had called the hotel for the states to ask about Lyft or Uber or Taxis and had been told to avoid them as they were u predictable and expensive and in fact our price of $12.50 US each was a cheap and easy option ( just had to download the app) as opposed to the $250 US one of the couple on the tour ended up paying.


We knew we weren’t in Kansas anymore when we walked out to our train and saw one of Norway’s important resources being shipped through the central station: Spruce!

More on that later.

The express train ride into town was surprising

And then after a short walk we arrived at our first hotel.
