After stretching our limbs we were ready to move on, this time with the short ride down the eastern side of the Oslofjord to Moss.
In Moss, we met up with Tor from the Barnet Fan Club of Norway. At its peak, the Norwegian fanclub had over fifty members, not bad for a team in the English fourth division. Tor lived a short distance away and along with other members of the Norwegian fanclub we whiled away an afternoon with a barbeque and a few beers in the sun. 
By happy coincidence, our visit to Moss coincided with a Norwegian second division game between FK Moss and Mjoendalen. It was just a short walk to the Mellos Stadion, but first out we checked into the pub next door.
In addition to the displays for the local team, was one wall of Liverpool memorablia...
...and one for Manchester United. English football is evidently more popular in Norway than Norwegian football in England!
And so to Mellos. 
What we found was basically a fairly basic stadium, with one big stand towering above the track. On the other side was the unusual sight of a small terrace with wooden steps.
We found ourselves right in the middle of the fanblock and so helped ourselves to some of the yellow and black flags from the box on the floor.
There was also a giant surfer flag that appeared as the teams arrived:
Not to mention some streamers and confetti:
During the game this chap kept us entertained, at one point picking up a ladder no less.
As half-time arrived, I took a stroll around the ground. Here I found some people sunbathing.
Nice hat:
Moss emerged the victors in this game by 2:0, the second goal coming straight from a corner. Back outside we took a couple of photos and then met the Moss goalkeeper.
Satisfied, we headed back to Tor's house, where the game between Viking Stavanger and Brann Bergen had just kicked off.
Alas our time in Norway was coming to an end. We headed back to the station to catch the train that would take us on a cross country trip to the Swedish capital, Stockholm. Most of us shared a six berth cabin, except for Mr & Mrs, who, due to a mix up by the Swedish state railway, were travelling first class.
