Hello Olso, here we go!

We got up at 8 and there was a cab waiting for us at 9 o'clock. We took the light rail back to the airport, a plane over to Oslo, a fast train into central station and then a cab over to the island where the airbnb was. I had imagined getting some wine at the duty-free but in the Oslo Airport they just spit to you right out. Most of the other airports we had to go through the duty-free just to get out, but not this one.  Hopefully that won't be a problem, as wine and spirits sales are tightly controlled by the state.  They call the it Vinmonopolet,  or wine monopoly!

This is at the Florida stop on the light rail

Foggy tops

I think the answer is yes this is Bergen Norway

Not sure with this flag was for but I think we had been there

Brilliant blue coloured Lake

Lakes and fjords the brown patches are areas that have been stricken by The Drought. We noticed this flying over Denmark that large areas are just brown from lack of water.

Leslie was watching and she could see that a ferry had just pulled up. The road was empty for miles and miles and then 40 cars, all in a row were stuck behind one slow pokey Joe

This train even looks fast

The beginning of a visit to another beautiful city

We were too early for the airbnb so we stopped in to get some sushi
