Norway

Great crossing...thank goodness, and only 2.5 hours. Left Kristiansand fairly quickly (apart from a traffic jam) and headed through amazing scenery, imagine Scotland only bigger and more of everything (water & trees). Went to Hornnes camping south of Evje and spent a couple of days unwinding. Lovely beach, offshore islands, clear skies, just what we wanted.
Then having decided not to go north we headed east towards Oslo. Had a couple of days of driving with some interesting stops. We keep finding caterpillars and larvae...of course I forgot my ID books!
Arrived at Oslo thinking we were well prepared, our chosen campsite was closed...as was the next one...and all this lugging 5.5 tonnes up steep hillsides and through urban streets, parked cars, buses...Bill driving...heatrt attack number two! We survived to the third campsite!
Oslo lovely, very small for a capital city, lots of wooden houses, very pretty. Made the boys endure the art museum (saw Edvard Munch's "scream") brill, but loved some of his other work more.
