Clarion Collection Tollboden Drammen

(Written 24 August) Friday 23 August, a great day for a day trip to Drammen, about 30 minutes by train from Oslo, for the Elvesfestival. No, not woodland nymph creatures like I suspected, but the name of the river than runs through Drammen ((I think)). Drammen is a really picturesque river town with cobbled-stone streets amidst a backdrop of steep wood clad hills. The two day music festival was obviously a big deal for the town and there was great excitement with ...

... Bogstad camping being the cheapest accommodation I could find at nz$40 per night my $100 a day budget has not been enough! Add to that another couple of nights out with some new friends I have made and you can imagine that things are a little grim! I havent done much sightseeing in Oslo as I have been hanging out with Lene Marlin fans. I have met up with a french girl living here in Oslo called Fanny who has been looking after me really well, and a few ...

... drool that formed at the smell of them! I couldn't take my eyes off of her big, round, succulent ... pizzas ... what did you think I was going to say? I did one last load of free laundry - while waiting, I went to the internet cafe in the train station. I heard from Rob and Pervez, my tapas buddies from San Sebastian! It was good to hear from them - but sadly, Pervez never made it to Toledo, citing train troubles. This is fate ...

TC fyrte seg en røyk. Jeg husker røyken buktet seg elegant opp igjennom lyset fra prosjektoren. Oppmarsjlokalet er en betongkasse. "Han er mannen, mener du?" "Jeg mener det." "Vis meg bildet igjen." "Forsvarets spesialkommando, nå underbetalt joggeskoselger hos XXL. Snurt nybakt småbarnsfar med eskalerende kortsiktig gjeld." "Og mailen." > Subject: hei hei!! > > Hei til dere begge. > > Alt vel og bra? Fin ferie?? &gt ...

... English country village. I´m not 100% sure but i think Michael Pailin lives somewhere in the area and as we stopped for a refreshing pint i hopped we might bump into him so i could see what the great over-lander would make of my trip. After Alviston the trail continued along the river passing the 'white horse 'and back to the barn. It was a good days trekking and along the way Brian and i had managed to solve many of the worlds problems and therefore rewarded ourselves with a ...

Hei, nå er vi hjemme igjen. Her kommer de bildene vi ikke fikk sendt fra turen pga surr med minnebrikken. Torills mobil har har pådratt seg dengufeber eller annen alvorlig sykdom på turen og fungerer fremdeles ikke, men jeg håper å få fikset den iløpet av uka. Elisabeth og Torill

... the day down town with Philip getting the last stuff I needed for the trip and we also enjoyed the nice weather. Although the street where ice covered death traps! Then I went back home to pack and had dinner with the family before going out again to Evergreen where most of my closest friends came to have one last drink ...

... for a hiking trip for the rest of my time in norway. while there i met an australian woman who wanted to do the exact same hiking trip that i did. she had not done much hiking and i didn't really want to go alone, so we joined forces. we met for dinner one night, made plans and met the next day on a train bound for Finse, Norway. the hiking trip to follow....

It was all quite an adventure. We visited Siri at her parent's house in Drammen just outside Oslo. We helped clean out their old play house and ...
