Guest Anonymous Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I think the weather looked a bit better in muckleossa's pictures than the weather we had here today. But it would take extreme weather to hold down the spirits of the Norwegians on 17th May.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HoloxaOZyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
