First weekend

We spent most of the weekend in Oslo buying bits and pieces for our flat (we gave in and bought a sofa after sitting on the floor for 3 days, even though our furniture will arrive in a few weeks!) and enjoying these lovely last days of Summer. So far Im loving our new life! (lets see how I feel when winter arrives!) We also went back to one of our favourite swimming/picnic spots to enjoy our prawns (So far prawns are the only thing I can find in Norway that are cheaper than in England..)

The journey

It was a long journey and I really would much rather have flown to Norway but with all our stuff not arriving for another six weeks we had no choice but to pack up the car with the things we need until our furniture arrives.

We are here!

After 3 days travelling, lots of sea-sickness (me!) and nervousness about making it to Norway with so much stuff in the car (our little car was a true work horse!) we are now in Norway and it's wonderful! Our flat is bigger than I remembered, the weather is warm and I now have broadband! What more could I ask for? (a job,maybe) Oh, we also have a free parking space all of our very own! (after many years of paying to park on the street in London)
