May parents arrived back from Tromso this morning. All went relatively well, other than Papa forgetting his hearing aid and parka. A quick trip to Fretex (the Norwegian Salvation Army thrift store), and the second problem was solved. Too bad about the hearing aid.
Fretex, by the way, is a great place in Norway. As Norwegians generally keep things in pretty good condition, nice things can be found at reasonable prices. I have purchased a couple of hand-knitted Persian carpets, some appliances (since ours don't work on 230V), and books (in English!) We have also been able to keep up with our normal donations of things Sidney has outgrown.
We head to Denmark tonight on the overnight ferry. We are scheduled for an 8 a.m. arrival in Hirtshals, and we are driving down to Copenhagen. We will spend one night there, then Friday afternoon we will drive back toward the north, as our ferry departs Saturday morning for a return to Stavanger. We will be back here at 8 p.m. Saturday night.
We will take plenty of pictures and have a blog posting up by Sunday.
