Our flight to Oslo from Manchester Airport was at 11:00, arriving at 13:55 and we arrived at the airport nice and early which was just as well. Security was an absolute nightmare! Now I don't usually mind it being so as I just think that it's all part of keeping everyone safe but this was a joke. First of all, I failed the full body scan which is not unusual. The hand luggage followed us through but my camera bag was rejected. The nice lady asked if she could ope...

We were up bright and early despite the lateness of the hour we returned last night. Every morning we have looked out of our window to a different view, this morning was no exception. This was the first time we had seen the trees covered with frost, it was so beautiful. We absorbed the view for one last time as we grabbed a quick breakfast before saying our last goodbyes to Jonny and meeting our taxi to the airport. A little more than an hour later and we were ch...

This is our last day as we leave early tomorrow for home. We had an excursion booked for today but we cancelled it and decided to do our own thing. We awoke to such a glorious day. A mist was sitting low in the valley and over the lake but the sun was shining on the mountains. Tiny ice crystals floated in the air like glitter on a Christmas card. After breakfast we put on our coats and boots and set off in the same direction as our snowshoe walk. It was totally d...

Today is free so we haven't planned to do anything except see what happens. We spent the morning in the hotel reading and Facebooking then had a cheeky lunch in the restaurant which was probably the best meal we've had so far, boiled potatoes, breaded fish and salad. We went outside for some fresh air and to play at photographers. It's been cloudy and snowing for most of the day but then, around 4.00 pm, everything cleared and the sun came out. Dinner was very ta...

This morning Facebook is trending with the amazing sightings of the aurora over Scotland and the north of England as far down as Wales! Glad someone had a good view! After breakfast this morning, we walked down the hill to once again get suited and booted for our snowmobiling. It's so exhausting getting this stuff on and off over your already substantial clothes. After a quick driving lesson, we mount our snowmobile and follow the guide into the Riksgransen mount...
