What a cruisy day today. We didn’t do a great deal. Just lazed around and read books. I guess we have been on the go continuously hence the impromptu “time out’’day. We decided later on in the day to have a wee road trip to a quaint little town called DrØbak. Situated at the entrance of the Oslo Fjord, it is a seaside town dotted with pleasure craft and the occasional car ferry cruising toward Oslo. Across the bay is a fortress formally used as the sole naval defence of the Fjord. We wandered around the boutique shops and had dinner at a seafood restaurant. Later we popped into see Gerard and Elizabeth Joyce who live here. Gerard used to live in Huntly and has lived in Norway for the past 30 years. He is a builder by trade and married Elizabeth who is Norwegian. We had spent a couple of hours with them and by this time a storm was starting to brew. We braved the elements and made it home by midnight.
