Can’t a-fjord it, but there’s no way I won’t be back again
If I asked you how much three whiskies would cost you in a pub in Oslo, what would you your guess be? Needless to say the bank manager back home required a call to ensure I was able to afford the libations that this particular establishment was providing. Our first night in Oslo gave Dave…

Loch Con and the Field of the Flat Stones
