The Joys of Norway

Chaps. I don't even know if anyone reads this guy, but I'm going to update it anyway. We're currently in Trondheim, about half way up the west coast of Norway. We're heading for Sweden from here. We think we've seen most of what Norway has to offer and the cost of living is killing us, a lettuce cost us 2 quid the other day and 6 beers are about 16 pounds. Norway is gorgeous though, if you're minted I would heartily reccomend it as a holiday destination. The scenery is truly amazing, you can be beside a spectacular fjord with mountains towering above you on either side, then an hour later you can be in the high country with snow and ice as far as the eye can see in every direction. A couple of times I've stepped out the van and found myself almost up to my waist in pristine white snow. Lucky we brought plenty of socks. We spent a day at Europe's largest glacier the other day, which was pretty good. You can just walk about on the ice sheet and the scale of it is quite intimidating. The Norwegians are ultra-friendly as well (and I'm into friendliness), they just have to see you looking at a map and they are over offering assistance and advice. Anyway, no doubt this internet time is going to cost me my not inconsiderable weight in gold and jewels, so I'll end it here. Will try to update you all again from Sweden, as if you cared.
