Thanks Wrinkled. I'd love to have you as a friend, I'll get in touch next week.

I have been retired for 10 months. It takes a while to get used to not having to get up early every morning and not always having work to finish at home (I was a teacher). To begin with, I actually had a bad conscience about sitting down and watching TV or reading a novel! But that soon wears off. Now I can laze around with the best of them.

We are taking the ferry from S. Norway to N. Denmark, then drive over the amazing tunnel-bridge to S.Sweden, around the Baltic coast towards Stockholm then back across to Norway. We like to visit museums and old castles, and look out for antique/flea markets.

When we lived in Toronto, we did two long camping trips, one east and one west. Those were the days. I'll never forget buying fresh-cooked lobster in a little town in Maine, and visiting Yellowstone and Crater Lake.

Next summer, we are planning the long drive to the north of Norway, some of the most spectacular coast in Europe, and the midnight sun.
