I've booked up flights from Glasgow to Torp (Ryanair) and I'm planning
on catching the train from Torp - Oslo - Geilo. Can anyone provide any information on cheap accomodation that might be available in the area and also any tips on eating and drinking on a budget (I've heard Norway can be a bit expensive). I'm heading over at the beginning of March and I'm looking at trying my hand at a bit of snow-kiting (using a power kite with a snowboard). If anyone has any more information about the resort or snow-kiting in the area, I'd be much obliged!! Thanks in advance!! Al. check out http://www.kitesnowboard.com/Content...ekgallery.html for more info on snowkiting) |

Yep - make sure the budget is on the scale of the American Deficit. -- Paul Schofield Time flies like an arrow Fruit flies like a banana |
