... to be a tad spartan in terms of places to lay out comestics or shaving gear. The shower takes some navigation as it is tiny, but extremely functional. The food service is splendid with open buffet in the morning and lunch while dinner is a set menu. Expect to find salmon, cod, herring, various cutfisk, reindeer, surloin, crab and other fine offerings placed before the willing diner. If a passenger accepts "the offer" and pays 209 NOK upfront, the ...

... marks the crossing point. We were scheduled to go on 2 different expeditions (Chris and Melanie on a rafting trip and Jim and Martha on a glacial expedition), both of which were cancelled due to stormy weather. The boat also had to change its course. Although we were originally supposed to go to the Lofoten Islands (which Melanie was especially ...

... get into the inverted position while most of the other 6 guests struggled or couldn't bring themselves to do it. The third wire left from the same platform as the second arrived on so we were soon back on the other side of the valley. This wire began with a short free-fall, which was best experienced by falling backwards from the platform. Between the third and fourth wire we had to walk down and along the valley side a bit.

... consists of a German, a Peruvian, an American, an Irish guy, two Kurdish and one Nepalese man. Now where else will you find a Thanksgiving table like that. My camera is totally broken down now, so I'll be buying a new one this Monday when I get back from Trondheim. They have some pretty good Canon's in town with a 4 gig card. Looking forward to my new life I'll be creating at George Fox. It gets ...

... home from Bergen to Newcastle and I was left to find a way to continue. Gettijg the train meant back tracking to Oslo and even that wouldnt get me the whole way there so I went to the port and was told that there was a boat leaving in a couple of hours, managed to get a good last minute price and a cabin. The boat went the whole way up the coast, past the arctic circle, this was because due to the Golf stream the water stayed ...

... ways to help them. Communication between and with these people is essential. Through LifeNets we are going to get them a computer so that they can have contact via Skype, video and other VOIP options. We were amazed how much the Doh's in Kemi, Finland use their computer as a communication vehicle among the immigrants in Scandinavia, to relatives back in Thailand and other scattered family in the United States, Canada, UK and other places. It's ...

... nations. After a good nights sleep we thought we might upgrade our accomodation. So here I am now, typing this up on the guest computer. I will retire later to the plush bedroom, watch my 40 inch plasma, perhaps later recline in the marble bathtub. Maybe after the complimentary waffles. Amazing what spending any extra 40 bucks a night and looking round at hotels can turn up! WOOHOO! Too bad in can't all be this comfortable... .

Ich bin zurueck von meinem Wochenendtripp und es war einfach genial. Wir sind ca 1 Stunde mit dem Bus gefahren und waren dort in einer Art Jugendherberge.

... to check in and I kid you not, I felt like I was in San Francisco. The hills were so steep, it was fantastic. The hostel had an amazing view of Trondheim and we couldn't wait to investigate this new "village." We split up for dinner after we checked in. I had dinner at Peppes Pizza with Nat and Maud (our new Belgian-Norwegian friend) It was quite good and we had fun walking around afterwards. I got to have a little treat afterwards as well. Inger was reading the paper and ...
