Norway by Candlelight


Breakfast at the hotel at 8.30am this morning was served in subdued lighting ... corner lamps, uplights at curtains and serving tables, and candles everywhere. The bar this afternoon at 3.30pm, each small table set with fine linen doilies under candles,  candles in wall sconces and above the fireplace, all enhance with the glow of candlelit chandeliers.

Dinner this evening at 7.00pm, a beautiful dining room with elegant decor in timber, glass, guilt framed mirrors and chandeliers, and of course, a new candle lit for each diner as they took their table. It was all elegance and charm from the antique crockery marked with the hotels insignia, through to the crisp linen and beautiful glassware, expert service fine food and a pianist playing e grand piano in the corner of the room. I read a quote once from a woman who said she only looked good in two kinds of light, moon light and candle light. I think she must have been Norwegian.
