Flew to Norway on Thursday 24th (day before Good Friday) with Rob. On friday we drove from Sandefjord across the Telemark area (where there were lots of telemark skiers!) to Fjordland where we spent the next few days.Saw Bergen, the two biggest fjords in Norway, the biggest road tunnel in the world (25 km!), dolphins in a fjord and Oslo (in Oslo we saw three viking ships that Mum had seen on a trip there as a school girl!)
Was back to work on Monday 17th - not fun. However on the Saturday, went ice-skating at Somerset House at with Lyndon & Mim, Elmer & Bridget, Rob and Rudy and a friend of Elmer & Bridget.
It was good fun, but there were a lot of people packed onto the rink - I think I would have enjoyed it more with someone holding my hand ;-)
:(I’ll be back…
This is a photo of the Boeing 747-400 that I flew on back to London.
Before I left to go back to UK, we went to Ruakaka for a week or so. Had lovely weather and a lovely rest.Hannah and Rick came for a few days before they went back to work - while they were with us we went to the Waipu caves - saw lots of glow-worms.
This is a photo of Mum on the beach.
To celebrate Mum’s birthday, went to Karekare with Mum, Dad, and Robyn.The pohutukawa trees were in full flower - the hillsides were stained with patches of crimson. Had a lovely time.
