The fog was dense at OSL airport yesterday evening, and the captain of the SK 737 we flew in from Northern Norway aborted the landing and did a new approach due to problems with the ILS instruments. The second attempt was good and smooth in very poor visibility.
This morning we got up and Fredrik drove us back to OSL in the -13 degrees and fog. The flight to Heathrow was on time, and we are currently waiting at LHR at the Bridge cafe. We have a Singapore Airlines flight on an Airbus 380 via Singapore tonight, it’s going to be interesting to fly in the A380.
I’m celebrating with my family in Northern Norway, it’s been a traditional christmas with real winter and lots of good food and relaxing days. Georgia got to see the Aurora borealis for the first time last night, since she got a Canon 500D for christmas it was a good opportunity to test the camera. It was -8 degrees, and windy so we did not stay outside for very long, but we got a few good exposures.
The moon was very bright in the clear arctic air, so it was like twilight outside all night.

We will spend two more days here, and then fly back to Oslo and then to Australia. We land in Sydney on the 31. and plan to spend new years eve there. Hope the weather’s good for watching the fireworks when we get there.
