Nick Lawson, there is fish with every meal. Boiled, baked, fried, smoked and salted. Even breakfast includes pickled herring. No, I have not tried the pickled variety yet, but I will for you. Hardboiled eggs and caviar-in-a-tube are also popular. I LOVE the spelt bread which is really a cracker. The cheeses are also delicious. Here is a link to a map of Norway. It provides some perspective.
http://www.mapsofworld.com/norway/norway-location-in-world-map.html Tromso is about the same latitude as Inuvik but a warmer climate because of the Gulf Stream. It rarely goes below zero in the winter and the harbour never freezes although Tromso receives lots of snow, again in the winter. Apparently Norway ranks just behind Sweden in terms of the best standard of living.
Jason, you are correct. Norway's northern coastline reminds me of Newfoundland. When can we go back?
Joanne, no worries. No tattoos.
Here's a question. What's the difference between the two buttons on the back of Norwegian toilets? I think I know, but I'm too embarrassed to ask the front desk.
Um...I think one is for number one, the other for number two. But which is which is up to you.
