Travel Blogs from Norway
What was I thinking?
This is a top pick! The bus up to Alta was at 2pm so I had a bit of time to do some sight seeing. I wandered down to the water and then across the big arched bridge. On the other side is a big modern church which according to the guidebook bears an interesting resemblance ...
Norway in a Nutshell
This is a top pick! ... to the aquarium to check out the seals and penguins and then headed back to the hostel for an early night. Next day I did the Norway in a Nutshell tour which takes you on a cool railway, dug into a mountain valley, on a 2hr fjord cruise and then in a ...
The loss of a hero
This is a top pick! We went to Oslo, and all I can say is that this is the most expensive city we have ever been to. Yeah, there was free ice skating for Lucy, but everything else was pricey. Saw the majority of the sites, including the Viking museum which was great and ...
Perfectly Nordic
This is a top pick! ... , taking its name from stave or wooden beam. They are incredibly beautiful and serene structures perfectly blending in with Norway's natural landscape. I had always wanted to see a stave church but nothing prepared me for the intricate designs and ...
Norway is amazing
This is a top pick! I decided to take my writing to an advertising-free space, so you can read about my Norwegian experience here: ...
Vigeland's Oslo
This is a top pick! Our second day in Oslo wasn't as fortunate as the first, weather-wise. We had already prepared for this though, as had our hostel room mate, Peggy. She had been in Stockholm before coming to Oslo and the rain over there had apparently been as common as ...
troll fjorden (this bird has flown)
This is a top pick! ... U.S. is the one at war, but Europe is the one that has to deal with the refugees. Nice. Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway are all great countries but just too expensive (Norway especially). The 25% sales tax probably has something to do with that. ...
Discovering the Peace Laureates
This is a top pick! We had already walked through Oslo's main sights including the Royal Palace and Theatre. But we still had some time before we boarded the bus that would take us to the airport, so we decided to visit the Nobel Peace Museum. It was sitting facing the ...
I feel on top of the World. Well.. Europe
This is a top pick! I could see I was getting to the business end of things now - The trip up to Honnesvarg showed a change in landscape - The snow patches were getting more common, and the trees getting smaller and more stunted before finally disappearing altogether in ...
Back to the warmer weather
This is a top pick! ... room mate. The beer is really expensive. Works out to 5 pounds for half a litre. Good thing I've only had one night out in Norway. The next day I headed off to see the sights. I found the general feel of Oslo a bit non-descript. The architecture was a ...
Oslo
This is a top pick! Le voyage en train de stockholm a oslo fut merveilleux!!! Je crois bien avoir vu 1000 lacs! Il faisait un soleil superbe et dans le confort de ma premiere classe ( c`est quelque chose!) j`ai pu apprecier tous les merveilleux paysages. Parfois le passage ...
Norway
This is a top pick! Salut!!!!! C est merveilleux ici! Les paysages sont si beaux et ca sent bon! Hummmmm L'eau est turquoise, les montagnes sont immenses. Malheureusement tout est tellement cher!!! Internet compris! 8 piasses la biere en fut!!!! 3 piasses pour 15 ...
In and Out
This is a top pick! We were on the road by 8am this morning and hopping to reach Oslo. On our way we briefly stopped through Lillehamer, the venue of the '94 winter Olympics. After a quick dash into Oslo through a series of under-building tunnels we ended up in the centre ...
Back to Bergen, and back to reality...
... quite comfortable chairs while doing so. Yet another winner of a holiday, and would recommend it to anyone! Do realise though that Norway is a relatively expensive country, but we managed to get by on a pretty good budget over the 4 days that we were ...
resting way up north - with a visit at Nordkapp
Couchsurfing is a wonderful organization where people meet by opening up their private houses to travelers. I became a member two years ago on occasion of my trip to Indonesia. The concept is great, provided you find someone ...
This is what I imagined Scadinavia to be like!
... a hot chilly pepper on the wall of my room and lots of beads. LOL. Went on an afternoon excursion up to the home of Norway's most famous composer Edvard Greig. His home on the 'Hill of Trolls' was set in very pretty Grounds with bush surrounds. Very much ...
Time to leave again... :-(
My time at home was up and I had to leave home for Boulder again. I needed a follow up on my neck, so I couldn't stay in Oslo any longer. The time flew by. I had a great month at home (except for the weather.) Went for long walks in the woods with Chili ...
Museu do bacalhau
Com a nossa pesquisa pelas Hi Hostals para dormir, viemos dar ao museu do bacalhau, no qual ficamos hospedados no terceiro piso do mesmo. Podem se ver fotos do exterior do museu bem com pessoal a amanhar o peixe para retirar os filetes de bacalhau, que ...
God Jul og Godt Nyttår!
"Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!" I send you these festive wishes and a new post from a very lazy Sunday as I relax and nurse my legs after having run 10 kilometres over snow and ice around the southern coast of the island yesterday for Tromsø's ...
God Påske
"What time is it?" someone asked as we gathered around the flickering fire, painting our little snow-hollow orange with its dancing flames, browning our marshmallows perfectly and giving some relief to our shivering feet. “About midnight” ...
XXX in Oslo
Greetings from the smallest capital city in Scandinavia...the city of Oslo, Norway. What a beautiful journey entering the Norwegian Fjords to arrive in this city which is also the site of the Nobel Peace Prize Award each year. We ...
First weekend in Oslo
The last entry was a bit of a marathon, so I'll keep this one pretty short. This weekend I had a couple school related events. Saturday was checkin and registration. Hans and I headed to Blindern, and stood in line at the ISS office. Exciting to me ...
Heï!!
Ben oui... Je suis en Norvege(avec un clavier Norvegien...hehe, cest moins pire que je pensais). Premiere idee qui m'a passe par la tete: trouver une cabine telephonique et faire un "coup de telephone" au Quebec. Demandez moi le ...
Flam,, Voss and Stalheim
... and had a very nice lunch (lots of seafood) at a restaurant on the lake at Voss. Apparently Voss is a well known ski resort in Norway. The lake is very attractive as is the old church. It was Sunday so most of the shops were shut. After Voss we travelled ...
Accident in the Glaciology Course!!!
This trip was one of the programmed excursions included into the Glaciology Course that we took in Svalbard. What we did not know was that it was going to be such a cold day (only -27ºC, but with strong winds and the adition of the windchill ...
Oslo Day 2
... to see the ski jump. Wow, it was awesome, amazing and a rewarding experience. Great views, supposedly it is Norway's most visited tourist attraction. We were already behind our depature for Stockholm but we too wanted to see The Vigeland ...
25 days of adventure in the true north!!!!
Hi Mates!!! an good austrian adage says "one picture says more than thousand words" so here they are =) brief details of our trip from 20.7-15.8.2008 to svalbard spitsbergen, 1. ...
Oslo or Christiania
Velkommen to Oslo ! Founded in 1049 by King Harold, who setup the Akershus Fortress to deter those pesky Swedes. Norway has an interesting history, from being independent, to being taken over by the Danes, to being handed to the Swedes (both whom ...
Going back to my ice cold country :-(
When I arrived back at the hotel after my diving day trip, I sensed something was wrong in my hotelroom. I couldn't put my finger on it. My passport, camera and valuables were all there, but something was definitely wrong. After checking all my ...
Laundry Day!
... we also told them how great North Dakota is :) Otherwise, it's been another laid back day here in Norway. I did laundry, thus I thought today's entry was appropriately named. It took like 6 hours for the machine to clean my stuff! ...
