relaxing in Norway


This is a floating oil rig that floated past the window, it has come in for repairs.




There are lots of old wooden boats in the harbour.



It has been really nice to just be able to relax and have a bit of a holiday. Our days ar dominated by sleeping in and mild walks around town. Sharon is sarting to get better now after being knocked around by a particularly nast dose of the flu.




The weather has vastly improved and now feels like we have come to a summer. We went for a walk up a hill in town and both got burned to a crisp... nice. The northern hemisphere sun is far more forgiving than the southern one. We got ourselves a treat the other day, a bag of lollies and a bar of chocolate, this cost a mere 70 kroner, about $18 kiwi dollars! flip!!!

  3. Hey fella's
    Talk about cheap candy! I'm thinkin I night just fly over there every time I need chocolate since it's such a bargain! Hey how bout we go into business... I'll send you boxes of chocolate to sell and we'll be richer than the oil rig owners! :)Glad Sharon's feeling a lot better, and good you're both relaxing. Corolla still not sold, few offers at well below $3k. What's the bottom dollar and how soon do you need it gone? Sorry to ask on the blog! only way to contact you at this stage tho.
    Blessings, Nath & Fi :)
