Pam and Warwick in Norway
We went up on the condole to the top of Mt Ulriken. Spectacular views over to whole of the Bergen area. Hello from Norway. We are here again on our annual visit to catch up with Chris and all his Norwegian family. This time of course we have Warwick and Pam with us so we can show them a bit of life here. It is always good to arrive and catch up with the kids and settle into some family time while also getting out to discover a few new things. In the 4 days that Warwick and Pam were here we managed to get to see the sights of Bergen and also get into the mountains and fjords so they could get an idea of the beauty of Norway. We have had the usual mixture of weather, but as I write this I am sitting on Chris and Heges deck just after 10.30 at night watching the sun go down and it is still very hot after a couple of very hot days. It is meant to remain like this for the rest of the week at least. Catching up with Rune and Lillen, Heges parents, is always good and a couple of evenings spent at their house, and then a day out at the cabin, have been great fun.
A good reason
Rune and Lillen, a good reason to come to Norway to visit. On their deck at home. Now I must say that being this far away from good old Wellington with all the shaking that has been going on has been very very difficult. Not as difficult as being there, but not knowing what is happening was quite strange. I understand that it sounds that things have settled down a bit but our thoughts are with all our family and friends and we hope that all is well. Also to everyone at K&S who read this blog, I hope all is well with you and that things can return to normal after your unexpected day off. Our house has been checked by Tony and Sarah and only a couple of things broken. Must have been a hell of a shake.
I will catch up again soon . Pip/Rod

Lovely pictures
Rod Great to see the lovely pictures on your blog and the beautiful scenery etc. You picked a good time to be out of NZ. It wasn't that bad, looking back, but it seemed pretty scary at the time. I didn't get any breakages at home but remember watching stuff sliding off shelves and my gin & tonic (Sunday evening treat!) sloshing around in the glass. I was terrified some would get spilt! Have a great time, Nick
