Just got back from our wonderful holiday. We've been to visit my mum's family in Norway.
We drove to Harwich and took the overnight ferry to Esbjerg we drove across Denmark to Copenhagen and stayed over night in a hostel. The hostel was a brilliant find. The former dormitories of the soldiers encamped at Avedøre had been converted into a hostel and just outside of Copenhagen, it was really peaceful in enclosed grounds. We had a family room for 4 with bathroom which was really inexpensive for the area. The next day we took another over night ferry to Oslo then travelled on by car to my mothers home in Sarpsborg. We stayed mainly with one of my Aunts main house but also spent 4 days at her cabin (summerhouse by the fjord) that was the best time ever. As we were very close to the Swedish border we crossed the border to do a bit of shopping. Coming home we just reversed the journey but didn't need to do a stopover in Denmark due to the boat times.
We've had a great holiday but as always and how it should be it's also great to be back home.
Hope everyone has been behaving themselves and not too many on the naughty step.
I'll be catching up over the next few days.
