Well it’s half term now and for the last three years I have been promising the girls we would try a bit of ski-ing. And now, right at the last minute we have booked a lightening visit to Norway. We sail tonight from Hirtshals arriving in Norway at Kristiansand (nowhere near Oslo). We then have two days of snow activity before sailing back Wednesday evening.
We are going to the Telemark area, more precisely Gautefall. You can see it all here http://www.gautefall.no/ Click on ‘webcam’ or this link http://81.31.236.60/view/view.shtml?imagePath=/mjpg/video.mjpg&size=1 to really see the area around the hotel.
We are going to try and find the webcam and stand in front of it at 8pm our time which is 7pm your time tomorrow. It will be dark by that time but the whole area is well illuminated. We will try to position ourselves in front of the chair lift. You may have to click on pan right when you get there. The camera seems to start on the extreme left by default. We don’t know if clicking on pan right or pan left actually physically moves the camera in Gautefall. The picture was sometimes moving when we weren’t asking it to yesterday. So that means that if more than one person is looking at the webcam from the computer at the same time, only one of those people is in charge of the camera. When we looked at the webcam last night there was absolutely no-one about. Maybe there is a good reason why everyone is indoors but otherwise we will try to keep this appointment.
