We haven't bought any while we're here and if we had, we'd probably have bought it at an event. Enjoy your time in Oslo. There are some great little beaches on Bygdoy that are accessible by bus or boat and a nice lake to walk round at Sognsvann, at the end of the T-bane line (number 3), but I'm sure you'll get lots of advice about what to do with your time from the cruise company.

Oh well, I hope someone gets to play with it! Unfortunately, the bear seems to have been lost in a black hole and hasn’t made it to its intended recipient yet after a few weeks in the postal system.

The 1000m makes a big difference. The rest sound like what I needed on the Welsh 1000m and gave me a new lease of life. Enjoy the well deserved rest. Sent from Arolla Well done again from Mum & Dad.

More interestingly you should be able to find some amber on the beach after a storm. Or at least you can do in much of the baltic so it might be a bit of a stretch in Norway. cheers, Neil Christine,

She was in sight for over half of the race but obviously didn't die quite as much as I did in the second half. Norway's definitely not flat - even the 45 min run I do from here involves over 200m climb! I'm enjoying another evening eating crisps and chocolate!
