MAGIC MAY

Drew has had a really good time in May. He returned to school briefly and completed his NAPLAN tests, the last one on the day we flew out, and then went to Norway for 10 days. He was a very intrepid traveller, taking the long flights in his stride. We met Kristin, Damian and Damian's brother Chris and his Fiancee Narimon on our second day in Norway. We walked and walked and walked and Drew didn't complain once. We had a beautiful dinner at Kristin's Mum and Dad's and were introduced to some beautiful Norwegian cakes. We spent National Norwegian Day watching the parade and indulging in Hot dogs and ice cream - a Norwegian tradition. We travelled on the train and the famous Flam Railway - Drew loving trains, was in his element. We spent 3 days in Bergen, walking 1/2 way up the Floiboyen hill, because we missed the station at the bottom, despite the fact we were only about 10 metres away from it. It showed how far Drew has come and how fit he now is, 9 months after his transplant. The wedding was beautiful, Kristin and Damian both looked gorgeous and a lot of planning had gone into the day. Drew and I felt right at home and partied on until 2.00am in the morning. Our last day was spent having lunch with the Aussies at a farm in rural Norway, before flying out the next day. It was a fantastic trip and we both enjoyed all of it and every hot chocolate we had. We finished the month off with a visit to see Dr Frank and all was good.
