Go Sverige (Sweden)....on to Norway

Last night, we found a local pub to watch the big game....Sweden versus Paraguay in the World Cup. Odd, because the majority of the US probably doesn't realize said event is taking place......in this neck of the woods....the biggest thing since sliced bread. It was a good game....nil-nil going into the end of the game....when Sweden scored and the place went crazy. Beer and glasses were thrown up and broken......Pandemonium. Afterwards, the streets were filled with crazies cheering for the win....cars driving around honking....I would liken it to the city of SuperBowl champs shortly after a win.....and in this case....it was only a qualifying game....first round.....

So.....we have an overnight train booked for tonight to go from Sweden to Oslo, Norway. It was like 20 dollars...but....we have our reservation now and a sleeping car....so....we get to sleep through the night on a train.....upon waking, we will take a train to Fense....and commence a 4-day hike that has been deemed one of the most beautiful in the world. So.....I will probably not blog or e-mail for a few days....but.....we will return to the mainland (Berlin) in about 4 days.....'til then.....much love.
