We stayed at the Stansted Radisson hotel on Christmas night and popped into Colchester on Boxing Day morning hoping to pick up a few bargains. However, not too many shops were open so we ended up going to Freeport in Braintree instead where we picked up a couple of bits.
Then it was back to the airport to drop the car off and meet the others.
Steve was already there and the others, Rob, Caroline, Mark and Anna turned up a little while after.
We queued for about an hour to check in and by the time we got through security, it was time to board which meant a very quick race through Duty Free to get some booze before heading to the gate.
When we got there we still had to wait for a bit, and eventually we boarded.
The flight was good and, although we took off late, we landed pretty much on time.
Once in the airport in Oslo we looked around for something to eat but everywhere was shut so we caught the train from the airport into Oslo and walked to the hotel.
After booking in, some of us popped to a local garage (the only place open) to get some snacks before retiring to bed.
