CFT Northern Lights - Dubai to Oslo

Sunday 4 March

A wake up call at 4 am gave us just time for dressing, final packing and down to pick up our breakfast box and head to the airport again.

After a long long walk the length of Dubai airport we arrived at the overcrowded waiting area for our flight where there was floor space only for waiting. I used it effectively. A long wait then on to our 7 hour daytime flight to Oslo. We had amazing glimpses of first the desert then the snow. Anthea and Lyle who had window seats took photos for Karen and I who were sitting in the centre section watching it on the aircraft cameras when we could. I watched two great movies - Paddington 2 and Wonder.




We arrived in Oslo at about midday and were met by our Norwegian guides. We were taken to the hotel and met again for a short walk with one of the guides learning lots about slippery patches of ice and the indoor winter culture built into the apartment buildings.




Back to the hotel for short devotions, dinner and bed for a long sleep.
