What a great county visit this has been! Here's links to some great photos from today, including from the mountain hike which both children also attended.

My translation of what the press says:
Crown Princess Mette-Marit says it has been wonderful to experience this with the children. They’ve told their stab that they are very pleased, and hope to do so again. Crown Prince Haakon says that this particular county trip fit best regarding having the children along. County trips are usually very full of different activities in many different places in a short period of time. It was different this time since the distance between each place was quite long, giving them longer periods of time onboard the ship.
The Crown Princess: “We’re a special family, and they (the children, my note) will grow up in a special situation. It’s good that they know and are aware of that from a young age.
The Crown Prince: We don’t always have the opportunity to bring them with us when we work, but it was easier when we knew we had more time than usual on the ship. This is a natural and good way (to introduce them to this life), and it is not a whole lot they attend.”
The Crown Princess: “It has meant a lot to us.” She also says they will not bring the children abroad to official events where they work from early morning to late night. “The children have had some great experiences.”
Princess Ingrid Alexandra shyly told the press it has been fun being along with her parents for the trip, saying it has been nice and good. She also offered to watch her brother when the Crown Princess told him to slow down and not run so fast up on the mountain, and to bring an adult with him. I am sure the young Princess felt up to the task!
The Princess walked ahead of the others up the mountain, stopped to wait and when the others arrived some minutes later she deftly climbed further up, sat down and started playing with some rocks (varder). (like these:

The young Prince is full of energy and doesn’t seem fazed or mindful of the dangerous drops off the mountain side, even when both his parents continued to tell him to watch himself.
