Just wondering, where do they stay when they are up north? Do they have a palace/house there that belongs to the RF or do they stay in hotels? I assume the distance is to big to go back to Oslo.

When they can bring Norge (the royal yacht) they stay in that. But they also use hotels whenever there isn't a royal residence to be used.

Today Mette-Marit was in Bergen, or in Grieg-hallen. I was around there with two friends and then she came with the major of Bergen, Herman Friele, and several people from the police. She had curls and was wearing pink. I have some pictures, but my camera was a little .... but she looked radiant and was very smily. She talked with the flower boy for some time before she walked in.

very nice pictures indeed. thanks for posting them. mette marit looks lovely with curls. was it an official (semi-official) event? perhaps they do secret activities or private visits to organizations that we don't know about and this one was one of them...
