We were going to Norway last year and they closed the gates to us a week before we were setting off

I wonder when we will be able to go there once more?

They were closed when we set off; however, Sweden was open. Blog one covered this.

I didn’t even consider going that way, I was just too focussed on “I want to go to Norway” that I forgot to think. Or was it perhaps the FCO having warned us away from France, Italy and Switzerland that had changed our minds so I plumped on Norway and didn’t consider an alternate route once Norway closed shop. I went to German, france, Italy and Switzerland anyway.
Next year, maybe?
