Another trip to Oslo
... take the train... On the way there the train was pretty much full with sailors and soldiers. Had anyone tried to attack the Oslo-bound train from Stavanger I think we would have been well protected. The train ride was eight hours long so even though we ...
Two years ago today....
Monday is July 31st... and some of you might remember hanging out at the Sorrento hotel in Seattle a few years ago. Yes, the viking and I have made it two years now, and we still enjoy each other's company. I'm glad to say that I miss Hans very ...

Bergen után
Hali! Újabb fejezet, megpróbálom üres perceimet kihasználni az írásra, másképp nem tudom befejezni a blogom, mert tanulnom kell. Hamarosan már vizsga. Szóval Bergenből hazatérve arra kellett koncentrálnom, hogy 5 nap alatt ...
Week 3 - Midterm week already?
... really enjoyed. It's about 169 NOK, or $28 USD - actually, the shipping costs to the US must be nearly the tax duty in Norway, since I'd pay about that much back home. I'm saving that bottle for when my mother comes out in a few weeks... but I've got ...
From horseback in Iceland to Airport in Norway
Lovely sunny day. Departed hotel after early-ish breakfast for horse rental place, where we had made a booking two days ago. They didn't have our reservation but were certainly willing to take us out. The facilities were quite nice – a big barn and ...
Last full day in the embrace of Norwegians
... , relaxing and watching big screen tv, getting ready for a big game against the best team of this age group in Norway (the Nighthawks boys). Oslo is beautifully situated on rolling hills surrounding the end of a long fjord, a mix of 200-year-old buildings ...
This is Hobbiton and I'm Bilbo Hicks
Yeah, after St Petersburg, that's all I can really say about Oslo. It's a nice town I suppose, but small, sedate and unbelievably expensive. I just had a shitty fast food diner that ran me about 20 Canadian dollars. Ouch... I'm not sure, but I ...
Familiar Oslo
... small (1 cut up Steam engine, a tram and 2 ship models) but I learnt some interesting aviation facts. For instance, Norway's first encounter with human aviation was the result of the 1870 French-German War. At the time apparently the only way out of ...
Back to Oslo
... shuttle to the Thon Hotel. It was good to get rid of our luggage at the hotel! In an hour we took the train back into Oslo to meet and old acquaintance from years gone by. We spend the evening with him at Pepe's Pizza and discussed lots of things in ...

Bergstaden 2007
... handle before getting back to work after easter this year, and thought it'd be a smart test to drive around the middle of Norway visiting friends and family for a while. I'll be photographing interesting places and will try to ski as much as possible. I ...
Week 6.9 - Vi ses, Oslo!
... it is very good. Mom had some too, and also nibbled on a baked potato. BTW, the official way to eat fresh shrimp in Norway is: 1. Lightly butter a piece of sliced bread 2. Peel around 10 or 15 shrimp, lay the carcasses on the bread. 3. Squeeze a ...
Oslo to Kobenhavn
... very heavy rain for most of the 250 km trip. The girls boarded a train in Bergen for the 6 1/2 hour trip to Oslo. I (Tim), followed my mapquest directions into the city but streets were not marked according to the map nor was the train station. After a ...
Soooo sleepy
... at home I would be rugged right up, but here I am in a Tshirt. I realised that I did way too little preparation for Norway, I can't even say hello or thankyou in Norwegian. Oops. Will have to get some lessons. The part of the trip ...
Oslo - terrific welcome, tough games
... to date. We hung with the Asker squad for the first quarter. But they are perhaps the best team of this age group in Norway and we fell behind in the second period and further in the third. They have five girls who can nail threes, hitting 10 in the ...

Lovely Bergen, Nasty Oslo

Week 1 - summer school is in session!
... some dinner, and call our expedition successful. In between all my Norwegian homework, we also head out on a "reketur" - a boat tour of the Oslo Fjord, with a traditional shrimp buffet. You never know if a tour is going to be a cattle haul or not (see ...
Oslo for a day
... couchsurfing host for the night, Jayson. He's an American starting his masters at Olso University, and was a pretty big fan of Olso and Norway, so he had a few pretty good tips on what to do and see in the city. We started off by just heading ...
Ramblin' Man
... be precise, Still some more to go! Since I left Finland, it's been quick stops whilst travelling across Sweden into Norway. Highlights include seeing a Viking tapestry depicting the end of the world (that was rather epic), crossing the mountains ...
Oslo...
... there was only 4 of us - the other 2 were asleep before us, which is rare. We only really had one day to explore, but Oslo isnt much of a cultural city with lots to do... We did get to see a 17th century fort/castle which was really cool. But we ...
