Morning, you should try the Art Cafe Bistro for lunch and if possible go on a midnight sun cruise. They last around 4 hours and takes you through the Fjords. There are different ones to choose from. If you have a car do a drive to Kvaloya Island. It is supposed to be stunning. There is also a nice little Fishing Village called Sonmaroy near Tromsø. The chocolate is called Freia’s Melkesjokolade. 
i don’t do ski jumping myself, I just watch it. My Dad was into Biathlon and ski sports and took me with him from no age to watch it, so it has been a long standing love affair. He said if you stay at a hotel they will be able to match you with the best suitable boat trip and drives. May I ask if your travel insurance was very expensive?  My daughters were going to take me for a trip to a Horse Ranch in Canada but the insurance was insane so we didn’t go.

Morning Alana, thank you so much for the information, we were looking at mini cruises and a midnight sun one does sound good and will be hiring a car and will look into all your fab suggestions, might try to make it 4 nights. I wish I could help with travel insurance but I get mine free through my bank, I have heard Insurancewith.com is good, You could call Macmillan there was a thread called HOLIDAYS about a month ago which might help, or why not start another one and if your on other forums ask on them. I will ask on the prostate forum for you. I used to watch Ski Sunday years ago and you wouldn't get me doing it either.

You should come and  visit Speyside at some point. We have beautiful scenery here and loads to do and see, apart from drinking Whisky.

Alana I have  been to Speyside many times, don't drink but have done the malt whisky trail and had many walks in the cairngorms, my first partner and i went to Nairn every year to see her older sister who I met the day I was born and I always saw her as the big sister I never had. Sadly we lost her 2 year ago. I was born in Oban and still have family in Fort William, which we are visiting next month and as it's "only" 2 hours to Speyside maybe I will visit again, take care.

Now Now, Alana, whisky drinking is a tradition which must be upheld and encurraged

Hi all, yesterday was a mixed day, first our new bed arrived at 7.45am, installed and all rooms sorted by 9.30.

Daughter and O/H arrived at 10am after every thing done, thanks for your help kids.

then in the after noon I dropped my phone and broke it good and proper, could not get the same phone so had to go for the upto date one, advice to all dont drop you phone turns out to be very expensive mistake.

Let me know if you and Sheila are coming x I do go to Oban from time to time for a couple of quiet days x 

I did enjoy a nice Dram from time to time. Sadly it does not agree with me at present. Have to make do with coffee. Life can be a bit of a bitch.

Hi Alana., our trip up next month might be difficult as a lot of family will be going and Sheila might not be able to come. We will be stopping with family near Fort William and if I can get away it would be nice to meet up
