Most of the sofas in the lounge have a lovely soft reindeer fur draped over the back. Not good if you are wearing black, but fine for me! The wait staff now know that I love English breakfast tea with milk. At various times during the day, they slide back the doors of Mamsen\u2019s. They have yummy Norwegian delights: waffles, pastries, soup, open faced sandwiches, etc\u2026. We have not tried the 3 kinds of herring yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"610\" height=\"458\" loading=\"lazy\"
