I am writing this as we leave Norway after ten glorious days and will do a couple more posts describing our time there.

Norway is all about water and we had our fair share. Precipitation greeted us on our arrival and forgot to stop. It didn't inhibit our activities, but did reduce the palette of colours. Blue and yellow were conspicuously absent.

Much of Norway reminded us of New Zealand. Weatherboard houses predominated, the bush looked similar, although without the aroma of beech trees and the people were friendly.
