Hi Sylvia,

i am also travelling on 16th June to Norway. It's my 2nd just you tour after Annecy in France last year which i enjoyed very much. Will be travelling down from Manchester the day before. I believe that there should be about 28 of us. Also been to USA and Italy on my travels.

Look forward to meeting you,

Richard.

PS Does anyone reading this have any airport hotels they reccomend staying in?

Hi Richard

Thanks for your message. I booked this trip last year taking advantage of a free vip lounge access so that's where I'll be once I've done my duty free shopping!

As for hotels there are so many around Heathrow I would just enquire of Mr Google and pick one that suits your pocket.

See you on 16 June.

Hi Cindy

Yes please do pick m-in-l's brains. Particularly interested in how much spending money to take, the weather, views of the excursions and of course hotel and food. Been to Iceland twice so sort of know what to expect.

Sylvia

PS. Enjoy your trip to Tuscany.

Report back from Mother In law

Was expensive £8.00 for a small glass of wine.

She went on all the tours and said they were very nice, but some were long couch drives to get to where your going.

Weather when she went ws NOT good, rain and snow on some of the journeys up higher, also the MIST comes down and can obscure the veiws etc.

Nice group of people.

Hotels good the one in Bllastrade?? 2nd hotel was nice but there was not to much around, I think there was 1 day off and she tried to go for a good walk but not much around.

She had a very nice holiday overall, OK

Thanks for feedback. I've read somewhere that wine in the duty free shop should be purchased! I shall be visiting Norway with an open mind and a bank loan(?!) and cross everything that the weather will be kind.
