To Norway, and beyond!

We've had a busy February so far and the first couple of weeks have zoomed past without us realizing it! We have been planning and eagerly anticipating this week-long trip to Norway and finally it is here. Actually, Rhodri went to Norway a few days before us on an Arctic Training and Expedition course that he had organized with his friend Petter. Here is the link to that story...
Meanwhile, the kids and I flew from London to Trondheim and met him there. They each got to choose a present for the trip - Rhiannon chose a fake gameboy thing which was free inside a penguin magazine and Tryfan chose a "baddie" Transformer. Here they are engrossed while waiting to get on the plane:
It was a gorgeous flight over Norway and this mountain caught my eye so I photographed it. Turns out that it is a place we've been to: Gaustatoppen is the name of the mountain and Rjukan is the town that is at the bottom of the narrow valley below. Here is the story of when we went there...
Anyway, the troops were great on the plane and did some coloring in their new coloring books and played like little puppies when they got bored. Here is Tryfan in "Sister Jail". (Yes, the photo is the right way up - they were laying upside down on the seats)
We arrived in Trondheim, met up with Rhodri, and drove east for an hour until we got to Storlien, Sweden (just about 3 km from the border with Norway). Here is the hytte (cabin) that we stayed in for this part of our trip:
