29 July Gol - Oslo




After a cozy evening and sleep, Our Hotel provided a luscious breakfast and they had a toaster. I was concerned about the egg and waffle chef’s preparation practices as she didn’t wear gloves and used her bare hands to shovel the waffles onto the plate. The next 24 hours could be crucial and here we are avoiding the swine flu. For all of you who care, we are healthy, bright eyed and bushy tailed. The drugs seem to be working.
The trip back to Oslo was delayed by a visit to Hadeland Glass Works. It is a destination in itself with a factory outlet and a series of buildings with shops to do with glass, interior design goodies, dinner ware, a Christmas shop etc all at outlet prices. We did not shop up large as we would have to freight anything back to NZ and the freight charge made it a waste of time. Hadeland also has a glass blowing factory and museum. The work that goes into the finished product does reflect the price. Back to Oslo and a load of washing to do.
