Oslo Norway

We have arrived in Oslo Norway
Breakfast again at 6-30am with our usual cereal, smoked salmon and bacon and eggs followed by black coffee
Left at 9am brought our bags down to be put in the Van
The briefing was good, we are not to overtake fellow riders, if you don't like your position when we start you have to wait until coffee time to change..
We have many BMWs and one Ducati and the V strom Vic does not like his position which was 3rd behind the rattle of the Duke,( He has learnt patients from the previous tour and there is no Mary on this tour)

Most riders are over the 60 mark and all very good.They just want to ride so we set off North from Goteborg it is 27dec and beautiful, we ride into the flat country side with the rape seed in full bloom broad beans and a little wheat it is very beautiful, There is no hills or mountains just narrow twisty roads that run through small villages We meander pass the largest lake in Sweden and it just glistens in the sunshine'
Morning tea and Vic changes position he now is last so that he can corner faster the speed limit is very strict we saw many speed cameras and the fines are very expensive.

Lunch in a little place called ED and it was very quick service and we had a salad getting healthy now
Again Vic changes position he now is second behind Manual WE enter Norway just on peak hour and it starts to sprinkle with rain, the traffic is bumper to bumper and it is hard for the leader to keep tabs.One couple who I have called the beautiful young ones pull over to put their wets on, the rest just ride on( they did wave us on)
Arriving at our beautiful hotel on top of a mountain overlooking Oslo it is a sight to behold..It is right under the Olympic ski jump which holds the winter world championships for ski jumping.
Our bags are not in the room, Vic fetches ours from the foyer, another couple who is looking for there's finds out that they are still in the van which has gone to Aldesund with the bike trailer they should get them back tomorrow (Been there done that)

The beautiful young ones are now lost, Manual can't contact them they have not contacted him, We are sitting down to dinner, he gets a call they are lost somewhere in Oslo.But will get to the hotel by 9pm
It is now raining..
It has been a different sort of riding tour really sticking to the speed limits and watching out for radar very frustrating for Vic who knows nothing about speed limits.. hahaha
All the people are very nice
We are off to tour the Viking Museum and other culture stuff tomorrow catching public transport, and if there is time Vic and I will go for a ride in the country side
