CHRISTMAS IN NORWAY

Just returned from spending Christmas with Matt and Kate in Norway, and as you can see from the pictures on the blog we had a very very nice time, and got to do many varied things.Having never been to Norway it was both good to see a new country and it was also our first time to see where Matt and Kate live.They have a lovely lifestlye and both enjoy living in this part of the world.Matt has his flying and Kate has her horses to keep them occupied in their spare time.
They were both great hosts and treated us to a variety of traditional Norwegian foods which was something we shall both remember for a long time to come.We now have to lose the many pounds that we put on as a result of eating far too much.
We would like to go back later in the year to see Norway in a different season, as it truly is a spectacular country. Big thanks to Matt and Kate for a lovely Christmas
Next time though we will probably not use Ryanair as although they are cheap they have some funny rules and regs.Having been unable to get through to their customer service dept can anybody explain to me the logic of being allowed 15kgs of baggage each for which we paid £7 per case but not being able to combine it.So when we came to check in for our flight home one case weighed 17kgs and the other 11kgs making 28kgs,2kgs under.We were asked to take 2kgs out of one case and put it inthe other.WHY !!!!! ,since the combined weight was still 28kgs.
