Replan - lost bag

Well, we checked the remaining bags in ourselves successfully and boarded the 1645 flight to Stavanger. Landed in heavy rain at Sola. My worries about the two front Brompton touring bags were confirmed when they failed to show. The service desk delayed the inevitable conversation as long as they could but eventually the staff were quite helpful. Fortunately I also had photos of the missing bag from earlier in the day so we could provide a good description. They tell me it may take up to three days to appear though. Unfortunately our toothbrushes,tent, raingear, MSR stove, and various electronic items are now missing.
We took a taxi to the vandrehjiem for 410 kr and I got to practice my Norwegian direction giving since the Russian driver didn't speak any English. We were on fast rain-swept E-roads into town and Stavanger wasn't immediately distinguishable from any other European town. The hostel consists of several single story buildings and is very utilitarian, with lots of fire doors and people mostly locked in their rooms it would seem.
After a walk to the local Joker I cooked polse in spaghettisaus and we turned in after a dessert of half a packet of Bixit. Good to be back here but we have some challenges ahead.
