Just a quick note about the currency over here.
Sweden and Norway aren't on the Euro and instead have Swedish and Norwegian Kronas.
This has been a source of confusion for me as there is about 5.5 kronas to each Aussie dollar.
This means that everything appears to cost the earth. For example, it cost us 50 Kronas (about $10 to get into an Oslo bar).
While most things are pretty expensive over here, the beer is pretty reasonable.
A bottle of Estrella (Spanish) beer costs 13Kronas (about $2.20 each, or $13 for six).
Needless to say, we are making the most of the imported beers while we are here.
But we can't wait to get back on the Euro which is not so much like play money with £1 equalling almost $2.
