Ideas for touring Norway

CNN Travel tells us that a long tour in Norway will be rather pricey but that a lot can be seen in 7 days:

in a week or so, you could hit the highlights on a so-called triangle tour. Start in Oslo, the capital city of 500,000; take a stunning train ride to Bergen in fjord country, and then a high-speed ferry to the oil capital of Stavanger, before riding the southern rail link back to the capital.

Given a few more days for a side trip, take the famous Coastal Express -- a boat that's combination ferry, cruise ship and freight hauler -- on an overnight voyage from Bergen to Trondheim. Or take the ship farther north to the Lofoten Islands, where mountains seem to burst from the ocean above the Arctic Circle.
