I Really Like Queen Sonja.....
.....she is so natural with such a great way about her. Love her in this YouTube video.
I swear I could tell what she was talking about! How strange! I don't speak Norwegian. She began by talking about the number of people that the room would seat. Something about the president, maybe, using the room for events. She drew our attention to the plate designs being reflected in the wall/ceiling rosette detail. Talked about the bell calling for silence at the dinner table. She was indicating that there were pieces missing from the lighting fixtures, I think - something about that. Amazing to be able to understand! Was it because she was enunciating so clearly - tons of words similar to English. 
She also seems like a delightful woman. Funny, too, a good sense of humor. Would love to meet her. She has a twinkle in her eye! One of those people one wouldn't mind having as a seat mate on a long airplane journey. Neat lady!

Well, no kisses. How about a hug? This one is from today. The King and Queen ended their visit in Troms. The King is returning to Oslo, while the Queen will continue on a private trip on K/S Norge. This is a picture of their goodbye. Very sweet :)

Thank you That was a beautiful scene, Mette-Marit entering, greeting King and Queen and admiring their outfits and orders.
Here is another picture and a video of it (scroll down).

What a nice family scene! Of course they know they are being filmed so this isn't truly private, but they do seem very natural here.

 The Norwegian landscape is simply breathtaking. Sonja looks really sporty for her age. Thank you for sharing.
