Travelling and Day 1 to Lapphaugen

Karl, my brother and I travelled from Dublin by SAS to Oslo. We had a short transfer time to the next flight to Trondheim so we rushed to collect the luggage and pass through Customs. The next stop was Trondheim to Tromso via Bodo.  The connecting flight wasa held back for ten minutes until we raced on board. 

We arrived in Tromso 10 minutes early and met Helen. We had been upgraded to a Volvo v70 automatic estate ( from a Toyota Auris). Now we have it packed we think the Toyota would have been too small. 

The first night we stayed at Brigittesheim in Tromso. Rather expensive at £119.50. The sky was bright all night. Today it was raining. We bought a Data Sim for the dongle and one for the phone. Then we drove down the E8 and E6 as far as Lapphaugen Turiststation where we had booked a lovely little cabin with dramatic, snow streaked  mountains and tumbling waterfalls. 

We've just eaten A wonderful meal cooked by me! Smoked mackerel, cauliflower, tomatoes, rice and balsamic dressing.  Ring me up any time you need a cook!!
