More beautiful scenery today 27 June 2013

I must apologize to all you readers, firstly I cannot remember my password for the blog, so it is ceating a problem for those trying to post comments, also as am so busy with all these adventures I am falling behind with updates, so will try to do better, also when return home will attempt to add photos out of the 400 or so I have so far taken.

Now back to the plot, we had a trip into Ford so Mykle and Jean could do some shopping, I went for a wander round the art museum, most of the exhibits I could not understand, then a sandwich and a drink, the prices here are so much dearer than back home, but not particularly for Norwegians,Norway is a very rich country,followed by a walk along the riverbank, whilst waiting I noticed a fire engine, I looked through the zoom lens only to find that the 2 firemen were watering the flower beds,

an interesting way of using resources, so sat and waited on a bench before meeting up again, we drove to the agricultural college, Jean explained less and less youngsters go there as they now wish to do more modern things such as computers as a job, they took me through the grounds to a really magnificent waterfall,
we continued our drive looking at further beauty spots, then stopped at            to look down at the road and the series of hairpin bends, it made me dizzy just looking down,
the scenery is so different to that at home and I have never seen so many waterfalls.

Eventually returned and tried to assist Mykle who was having difficulty connecting  his laptop to the internet, we tried various remedies, then asked advice from some of the people on Fifty plus forum, still no success,  I even tried my computer man back home via e mail, in the end gave up, he will take to shop instead

Then had a well deserved rest, whilst writing this out in rough, I was sat in the garden a mixture of all sorts of plants and colours, the only noise was birdsong and that from the waterfall, bliss. Later another enjoyable meal cooked by Jean with good company and conversation.

Despite the fact it was quite late, the sun still had not set and the sky was turning a delicate pink, I have taken a photo with the tablet but not yet worked out how to upload it, I think I am going to be very busy with the number of photos I have taken trying to sort them out when I return home.
