Day 18 3 x 3 things

Today was all about driving - Oslo to Kalvehave Denmark ... no view from the window (there was no scenary out the window this morning), no sight-seeing pics today (as I was alseep for a lot of it).

so here's 3 x three things post instead

Norway
1. Is the place to be if you're a hairdeesser (we counted 4 in Honningsvag main st - population700) & everywhere we go there seems to be a plethora of hairdressers. Just how coiffed does a population have to be?

2. northern lights – say no more

3.blue - just exactly the right amount of indirect sunlight

Scandinavia
1. Great for Aussie tourists (& there are a lot of them here) because everyone speaks English, generously. By which I mean they don’t make you work for it. If they start speaking in Swedish/Norwegian and you say hello they’ll switch mid-sentence to English, very kind of them I think.

2. Sweden good coffee, Norway not-so-much.

3. Sweden good roads, Norway not-so-much.
 

Universals
1. I always get to change the toilet roll. Home, hotels, restaurants, cafés, bars, boats, petrol stations…it’s like they know I’m coming and shed their paper so they’re empty when I arrive.

2. Supermarkets even if you can’t read the labels you can tell what’s what by its position on the shelves. If you’re trying to work out which one to buy get the one there’s most of because that’s the one everyone likes.

3. McDonalds – safe, reliable food you can recognise when all else fails, and that may just make you feel better if you're a bit crook on food your body doesn't recognise as food and as such tries to get rid of as fast as possible (overshare? sorry).
