				Hey!
For any Norwegian tour veterans, has anybody got a gauge of how much cash currency to take for the week?  I'm thinking covering lunch and a beer or two in the evening while using cards for fuel.
Thanks.

Prices for most things are broadly similar to here. EXCEPT ALCOHOL which can be double & more than you would experience here. I book drinks to the room and settle on a card in the morning. This can be a frightening experience......
Cash for the ferries which tend to be 100NoK (£10 'ish) for car with 2 passengers  Pete will correct me but I recall 6 crossing? I think you can use cards for most of those as well if you wish.
So that just leaves lunches and for most places you can use cards aswell !
Hope this helps

				So I can book drinks to your room?  Thanks, Dave, you're a legend! 
That's good to know - I didn't want to be stuck with more unusual currency than necessary and a few guides said that card machines were maybe not as ubiquitous as they are elsewhere.  
T-minus 19 days...

Yep, book anything you want to my room. I already know my room number its 101
Get as much NoK as you want, you WILL be back to use it in the future.

				And now I won't be able to sleep for 19 days!  That looks ah-mazing.
At least I have the rescheduled Millbrook day to tide me over between now & then.
Reindeer burgers ahoy.

				Guys, Lets not forget the Viking Tour has the same rules as Fight Club. The first rule is...
I am sure that the delights of Norway will enchant you, but I think its something we should keep to ourselves. We certainly dont want the roads cluttered with Berlingo's
Moose ahoy.........   Doris Day minus 18
