My dear Alexandra, How is life? life never stopped surprising me:)- i found myself answering. what about you ? I haven't found myself yet though I like your poem very much, you have ways to sound so beautiful. If you ever really offended me, ...
Op naar Krokstrand Camping
Vandaag gingen we van Vikhammer naar de Krokstrand Camping. Dit ligt een stukje na Mo i Rana, in de buurt van de poolcirkel. Je zou dus verwachten dat het (nog) kouder zou worden, maar vandaag hadden we temperaturen tot wel 25 graden! Is ...
Vigelandsparken is AMAZING
Had a short drive to Oslo today (fantastic breakfast at the hotel). Arrived in Oslo about 11am. Had free time for a couple of hours so went with Paul from my tour to the National Gallery (Nasjonalmuseet) as wanted to see Edvard Munch's 'Scream' ...
Geiranger to Molde
... Molde is well known for having been completely destroyed by Nazi bombs during World War II. When the Germans first came into Norway the Norwegian King and his court escaped from Oslo along with the country's treasury of gold. They moved to Molde which ...
Three days of work, now a little play
I am typing this on a Norwegian keyboard at the Stavanger Library, so I have to search for punctuation a bit. Maybe I will just avoid quotes or contractions. The flight from Seattle to Stavanger was uneventful, although our connection time was too ...
Arriving in Oslo
Flight to Oslo was packed, we flew over Bergen and the fjords for the only part of the flight that was clear enough to see anything. We arrived in Oslo at 10am and our bags both arrived with us. Caught Airport express train to Oslo central station which ...
Pulpit Rock
... is so freaking quiet, I cannot believe it. My ears are ringing when I wake up, it is so silent. We are going to hit the road on Wednesday. We saw a fiord today. The map of Norway is more water than land. It's a crazy ...
Path of the Trolls
Had an excursion today up to the Eagles Road for views of Geiranger Fjord. It was very beautiful. The reflections in the Fjords are amazing. Then we went across to Norddalsfjord to the 'Path of the Trolls'-Trollstigen. The road is one big long zig-zag ...
Plateau Berget
It was one of these strange experiences that one can always remember. Following the route that we had planed, we went up the hill to know the satellite station. But that day was so foggy that we could hardly see more than 5 meters away. Kind of scary, ...
Strand gibt es hier auch
Jetzt mal wieder ein paar Neuigkeiten von mir aus dem Norden. Die Sonne scheint hier immernoch und kitzelt mich in der Nase. So gegen 23 Uhr wird es dann langsam dunkel. Das ist eigentlich ziemlich doof, weil man nicht mit bekommt wie die Zeit vergeht ...
Blueberry trip
Heute waren wir Blaubeeren sammeln, d.h. wohl eher suchen. Die Norweger sind hier natürlich schon überall durchgegangen. Aber immerhin haben wir zu dritt fast ein halbes Kilo gfunden. Das gibt es dann morgen mit Vanilleeis, hm. Dieses Wochenende ...
Walking Around Bergen
Had a sleep in and then had breakfast at the hotel before setting out to the Floibanen, the funicular up to Mt. Floyen. Magnificent views over the city and surrounds from the top des[ite the rain setting in. Weather was cold, wet and windy but we ...
Norway in a Nutshell
... some food. We ended up eating at a local Chinese restaurant which was pretty good but also pretty pricey (but normal for Norway prices...). After a nice dinner and chat we headed back (in the rain) to the hotel where we stayed up drinking and ...
Impressions
Hi @ all, I got some interesting pictures. Just look at them and relax. Try to get into the moment :) ...
I'm not in Oslo
Ok, so I caught a train to Oslo in the morning, as people had told me it was supposed to be a really nice journey (and they advertised it all over Bergen as one of the most beautiful train trips in existence) and, to my surprise, it was a sunny day! My ...
Oops!
For some reason my brother woke this morning saying "Today is going to be a day from h-e-double hockey sticks". Wash your mouth out with soap, George. You didn't have to jinx our day. We planned based on the itinerary we received from our travel ...
Bergen és az UNESCO örökségek!
Sziasztok! Elég későn jelentkezem, de megpróbálok most tömörebben fogalmazni! Már amennyire sikerül. Mivel több témáról is írnom kell, így több fejezetbe írom őket, tehát nézd meg majd az ezután következő fejezeteket (entry-ket) ...
Tai chi in een residentiele wijk.
Vandaag wilde ik een kortere wandeling maken. Mijn spieren waren behoorlijk stijf van al dat geploeter in de sneeuw. Dan maar eens naar de dichtstbijzijnde residentiële wijk gaan wandelen. Hier was de sfeer totaal anders. Het was duidelijk dat je ...
Hello Norway
... . The threat of €450 and a crushed bike for speeding here doesn't really appeal. It's going to be a long trip! Unfortunately Norway is closed on Sundays so Oslo is rather a quiet town to visit on a Sunday. The second pole on our tent has broken ...
The Island!
Greetings family, friends Hope everybody is having a good week so far! Yesterday (Tuesday), was another beautiful sunny day with temperatures somewhere around 35, I'd say. Unfortunately, a north wind made up for the warmth. I had a few ...
Two beautiful days without a breakdown
... carry on as planned up North. While in Lillehammer, I had pretty firmly set my sights on returning to Oslo and forgetting my Norway dream, however being in the road museum and seeing pictures of all the beautiful places reminded me why I had wanted to ...
You're going to Norway? I'm Oslo going to Norway!
... Bit of professional networking never did anyone any harm! When we landed, I got off the plane and my god is this cold. Anyone who says 'Norway isnt as cold as you think' is a liar. Believe me, it was nice, in contrast to the tube earlier today, but still, ...
Sojourn in Oslo
... they were buried in clay that preserved them completely, every detail and artifact. It was a great way to end our trip to Norway. We rush to catch our plane only to find that the train line has suffered signal failure and no trains are running. The ...
Strřmmen, een stadje vlakbij
... 20 Km northeast of Oslo. It has around 8.000 residents. In this town you find the largest covered shopping centre of whole Norway. The Strřmmen Storesenter. It was again bad weather. Foggy, but warmer than yesterday. Now the thermometer reached -18°C. ...
Meisingset, Norway
Tim - Left Trondheim in the rain. I drove with Arne while the girls took our rented Volvo. The sun came out when we got to the cabin. Beautiful location right on the water. Arne restored the entire cabin which has been in the family for generations. Arne ...
Glaciers and snow
... ; The next day we went to Juvashytte to ski. We got to the top of four 2000m peaks including the tallest point in Norway - Galdhopiggan, at 2469m. It is also the tallest point in northern Europe. It is absolutely stunning views from there. Check out the ...
Helleysut ( Gerainger Fjord)
A short stop in a picturesque little town at the end of Gerainger fjord. Lovely waterfall and old ...
The Fishing City
As we arrived at Trondheim rail station, we realised that we had not writen down where we were staying whilst here! We lugged our backage around the city seeking out the Information Center in hope of a computer. We were directed to the ...
Transitting in Oslo
Arrived in Oslo and went in search of dinner. Not much open at 7.30pm so we had a slice of pizza each and shared a pepsi. Boarded flight to Copenhagen in premium economy meaning the middle seat was empty. Plane had nose camera to see the take off and ...
