Fjord with a J
We spent the last week, and our last in the Schengen region, in Norway, splitting our time between Oslo, Sandefjord (not “fiord” as in NZ), and Trondheim. Eric’s mom met us there and we stayed with his relatives who took very good care of us and introduced us to Norwegian food, including my new favorite, rommegrot. It’s a porridge made from sour cream with butter and cinnamon, and if you get the chance, try it.
On the way out of the country, we went through passport control and had a few dicey minutes while the official searched through our passports to see when and where we enter the EU. After a few questions about what we’ve doing for the last 3 months, he stamped them and let us through. Whew.
Here’s a picture of one of the sculptures in Vigeland Park in Oslo. We also saw a few more by the same artist in the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim.
