Well I am now in Oslo airport about to depart for Düsseldorf via Zurich. I have had a fantastic time in Norway. Oslo was excellent and made more so by the excellent information from pibbur, others, and the comprehensive and excellent information from Peter S.
Thank you!
I also very much enjoyed my journey to/fro Bergen. (Was meant to be easy train with no changes, however, due to a landslide, it became a train, boat, bus, train each way journey! While not planned the boat on the fjord was magnificent, rain and all.
A highlight was meeting pibbur in Bergen. We spent a most enjoyable few hours wandering around the older areas of the town which, combined with your excellent history knowledge pibbur, was just great. The funicular and views was very good and the subsequent local beers an excellent conclusion. Thank you very much I appreciated it (and for coming to say hi and pointing out you house when we transferred from bus to boat on returning to Oslo from Bergen).
And yes it isn't cheap and it was magnificent!!!!!
