Norway is a great country for a driving holiday, as the roads are well maintained and relatively quiet. But watch your speed, as the limits are low and strictly enforced. On country roads the general limit is 80kph, often dropping as low as 60, and even on motorways the top speed is 90kph. So youll have plenty of time to enjoy the magnificent scenery.

Many believe that Norway is where it all began, with the need to move across snow over vast distances. During the winter, most of the towns and cities in this wild and beautiful country have access to a ski area. These vary from the high quality slopes and lift complex around Lillehammer, scene of former Winter Olympics, to small local complexes with just a couple of lifts. Theres certainly something for everyone and you could even combine a trip to Oslo with some skiing in the easily reached hills behind the city.

Norway certainly is an interesting country in that taxes are so high it tends to balance out everything. You see if you start making too much money, why produce anymore than you need, you just pay most of it in taxes anyway. Norway has a huge Middle Class, like 98 plus percent or more we are told. The taxes are outrageous and it seems to be social engineering thru taxation, but does that really make sense?

For instance if people do not wish to work more than they need because they will simply be paying more in taxes then why work any more than one has too? If everyone has the same amount of everything then eventually everyone considers themselves equal because they are. Well economically speaking that is. Yet one has to ask isn’t that really moving people more towards socialism, as in if the government taxes are so high then the government uses these taxes to provide more and in doing so, again alleviates the need to work hard to produce much more because the government will give it too you.
