- Dette har de fått godt til! -Altaposten.no

The Google Translation is very poor, so this is translated by me:
King Harald was visibly impressed by the Ice Hotel.

''This was really nice. They have been good'', the King said when he left the icy attraction and its temporary hotel, where 12 people were booked in for the evening. Knut Saxe Kjeldsberg was guide during the small stop at the hotel. He has also been one of the central ice artists who designed the characters. It has become an impressive sight.

King Harald is in Alta on the occasion of the salmon conference beginning Tuesday morning, but he spent Monday evening with good friends in laksestua in Sorrisniva. After his annual trip to Mikkeli in the Alta River in July, he has made many friendships. Both the managing director Tor-Erland Nilsen and chairman Hasse Kjeldsberg from ALI was in place.

There was naturally a royal quality of the food that was served. Local produce was on the menu: baked salmon, sirloin of elk and mousse cake with cloudberries.
 
Yesterday, March 10, King Harald granted several audiences to the Ambassador of China, His Excellency Mr Zhao Jun, the new Ambassador of Brunei Darussalam, Her Excellency Ms Rakiah Haji Abdul Lamit​, the new Ambassador of Costa Rica, His Excellency Mr Enrique Castillo Barrantes, the new Ambassador of France, His Excellency Mr Jean-François Dobelle, the new Ambassador of USA, His Excellency Mr Samuel David Heins and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Today, Queen Sonja attended the opening of the exhibition "Japanomania in the North", the National Museum, June 16, 2016. The exhibition consists of two parts - one on Kunstindustrimuseet and one in the National Gallery. The two exhibitions present the major influence Japanese art had on Nordic art and design.
The exhibition opens to the public tomorrow, 17 June, accounting for 16 October.

Indeed, the NORGE has been spotted carrying HM's 8 metre yacht Sira, to take part in the races being run out of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club on Toronto Islands. I shall act as intrepid reporter and see if I can score a picture; here is already a sighting from the Cornwall news!

I did not see Sira race but I was able to locate and take pictures of NORGE. I have airdropped them to my new Macbook air but have no clue how to insert them here; if there are more computer literate persons than me on this forum, please let me know how to share the photos i took of NORGE, that is moored about 5 minutes from my house! :flowers::bang:
