Arrived Oslo

We left Calgary on time, and had a quiet flight to Frankfurt, including a meal and small breakfast on Air Canada, believe it or not. Everything went smoothly. Upon arrival at Frankfurt, we got alittle nervous after having to wait for 30 minutes on the runway for another aircraft to leave our arrival gate. We then had to rush once inside the terminal to make our connection to Oslo on SAS, including finding our way through customs and immigration, and more security. It turns out that you only show your passport once when entering Europe, rather than at each country entry-point. By the time we got our boarding passes, the plane was loading ... so no waiting involved.

The last half hour of the flight into Oslo was VERY lumpy and bumpy, and reminded us of flying into St. John's on windy days. Anders met us at the airport, and drove us to their house in Slependen, just alittle west and south of Oslo. After a light dinner, we went for a hour walk to Tanum (tan = place with tree, um = home). There was a beautiful 900 year old church on a hillside, surrounded by a forest and farmlands, overlooking Oslo. We were in bed by 1000.
