As I mentioned in my earlier post on this blog, I am reading Dev Anand's 'Romancing With Life' presently. He has described his visit to Norway. I liked some of the lines he has written to describe the trip:

The road was snowbound at places, trees denuded of leaves for the winter was right ahead, lonely isolated villages with dim lights eyeing you through the mist shrouding the wooden houses and sideway inns.

They make you think about dropping everything to take the road by yourself, don't they? :-)
