King Harald attended the opening of the fair Nor-Fishing 2010 in Trondheim
today, August 17. Nor-Fishing collects approximately 20,000 participants
and has been an important national and international meeting place for the
fishing industry during the last 50 years.

The King pointed out that although there were fewer fishing boats along the
Norwegian coast, the remains have been far more effective.

"Today is not a question of how much they are able to fish, but how much
they are allowed to fish so that the industry will maintain a sustainable
development for future generations", King Harald said.

I'm not sure this really belongs in Current Events, since it won't happen for another year, so mods feel free to move this. :flowers:

The Palace is planning an 11-day U.S. tour for the royal couple in Nov. 2011. It starts in Minneapolis, and they'll spend much of the time in Minnesota, and also visit New York, but the exact itinerary isn't set yet. Exciting for any other American members in the area. It's about an hour and a half flight for me to Minneapolis, and it's ridiculously cheap with some of the discount airlines - I'm definitely going! :)

Today, December 6, King Harald has attended the reopening of the Holmenkollbanen,
the rail between Majorstuen and Frognerseteren.

Funnily a woman was among the passengers who was photographed during a similar
situation 37 years ago: In 1973 King Olav had used the line as well on the way to
a skiing trip in the woods and had sat next to her, just as King Harald did today. Of
course it's been planned, but nice nevertheless :)
