A great day, and a chance meeting with the king.

Today we have seen a lot.

We traveled across Norway's ice covered plateaux and thru a 7.5 km long tunnel. Amazing scenery!

At one point Paula noticed a supercar at a roadside stop with a few people gawking. I didn't think too much of it but thought we'd taken a wrong turn, so headed back.

The car turned out to be a Swedish Koenigsegg (the world's fastest and most expensive supercar at a bit over $l.2 million Australian dollars). Paula and I had a bet over spotting one in Scandinavia.

But the surprise was to see the company owner and CEO - Christian Von Koenigsegg sitting by it! After saying hello (feeling a little foolish in boardshorts!) I mentioned that I had emailed the company a few months back asking for a visit but that I didn't have any luck.

Christian kindly handed me his business card and told me to email him and tee up a visit. Nice one!

Needless to say I have to go now and write an email!
Love to all.
-Sambo.
