back again

came back from oslo on friday afternoon, said my goodbyes to the guests at the luggage belt (my backpack came out quickly this time) and then took the train...home!
had a lovely relaxed weekend again...something you really need after this job...slept a LOT too :)

after my last blog we travelled from stavanger to kristiansand, a wonderful route along the south coast of norway...one moment we saw sand strands and little dunes, they then changed into rocks and before we knew it we were in the middle of some fjords again!
the road was kind of narrow there at some points...which is no problem until there's cars from the other side coming...svein had to work hard to get us and the bus safely over all these fjords, which resulted in a big aplause for him in the end of the day when we arrived in kristiansand. in kristiansand i took the guests for an hour walk through town before my day was officially over, it's a lovely town though not as nice as stavanger.
from kristiansand we continued to oslo on thursday, we visited some lovely towns along the coast in the morning (grimstad & arendal) and then went to porsgrunn where we visited the porcelain fabric. to be honest i'm not much of a porcelain girl but it was an interesting guided tour we got there, cool to see how they make everything & hand paint some of the stuff.

late in the afternoon we arrived in oslo, same hotel as week before so that was easy. on my last night in oesloe i met up with jiska again...first plan had been to party...hard :P but that was a bit too much for me, so we just went for another drink instead...was lovely again, we had a good laugh about...everything actually haha! takk jis, det var greitt! ;)

and then it was friday morning and i packed my bag for the last time for this trip!

and here are some pix of my last 2 weeks in the north:
