Our trip to Norway started in Oslo where our friend Sixten picked us up from the airport. We have not seen Sixten for 19^th years since we were together in Tasmania. We spent some good times in Tasmania and we were looking forward to renew this old friendship. We had a brief introduction to Oslo on the way to Halden where the Paterson’s live. Rained all the way to Halden but our first impression of Norway was ‘Green all over”. We think it is impossible to look around in Norway and not see a pine forest or a wheat fields (at least in the Halden area). We also spent a lovely day in Sweden fishing and relaxing on a small island. In the next chapters we will try do show you how much we enjoyed Norway.
