September 18, 2002, Liz and I took Liz's father, Roald, and sister, Lisa, to Norway, while they were visiting us in Sweden. We spent one day in Oslo, where we visited with Inger Bach at her new apartment. The following day, we traveled on the 'Norway in a Nutshell' tour where we took a train through the beautiful scenery of the Western side of Norway. We also took a 2 hour boat ride through one of Norway's beautiful Fjords. Upon arrival in Bergen, Norway, we took a sleeper train back to Oslo.After arriving in Oslo, we took a 3 hour train down to Gjerstad to meet with Roger and Hege Bach. They showed us around Risør and Søndeled, plus the business that Roald's grandfather and uncle started. We really enjoyed the time spent with Roger and Hege, plus their hospitality.
