This was a good day and the Mot result was not expected and I had already bought new wheel bearings since I was sure some of them would fail but they didn't so they will have to be shelved until later. And the oil leaks to the rear axle need to be fixed in the near future but since money is a little tight this fall I will wait until next year.

And after the MOT I meet @juular and @MrsJuular in the village and they really are the nicest people I have ever met and I really enjoyed meeting and talking to them. So with this and the MOT result, this is my best day this year without a doubt.

 

And I got to try a exotic new thing today also.

It was so nice to meet you at last.

We enjoyed your stories of driving in the snow, camping in your 740 and dodging moose on the roads.

The Mercedes is a truly stunning car. 

Norway is the most amazing place in the world. Truly sad to be leaving tomorrow. 

Till next time..

Congratulations on the MOT pass and meeting some shiters of the finest order.

Although, if they were really good they'd have brought you some square sausage too. Maybe next time...

Every time I see that Mercedes it looks cooler.

Mercedes were (imo) very special cars back then.

The only thing I can think of that is called Villa and is a drink here is the one below which is a soft drink if that right and that is what Americans call a Soda.

And from what I can remember, this is quite similar to the Scottish one in taste.

That’s the one! I really like it, close to Irn Bru, but also not quite like anything else on sale. A great Norwegian curiosity.

This place, you wouldn't have met otherwise, I guess - maybe you might have gone somewhere else?

We had no plans except "go to Norway" but thankfully the stars aligned.

What a country.

Like many locals, I may not think much about it because for us this is completely normal, but I realize when I talk to foreigners that Norway is quite special.

And as the Juulars found out, Norway is not as expensive as some people make it out to be. Just think and plan a little and it's fine.

And great pictures @juular .
