Commandor Hotel Stavanger

... must say that Norway is a fantastic place to be. The lovly nature and the good looking girls. If there is one bad thing I must say about Norway it has to be the weather, but thats a part of it. <br><br>But Norway and Stavanger has it all!! Surfing, skating, party life, great nature and hot women, travel destinaton number one: Stavanger Norway ladies and gentleman!! <br><br><br>STAVANGER FTW!!

... be allowed to fish.<br><br>Local farmers of course can fish as they please on their own land. James has made the acquaintance of a local farmer and he and Bruce asked for permission to fish this weekend. They pay for this priviledge......and this weekend will tell the tale.<br><br>We are talking huge salmon! I do hope Bruce gets lucky (HAHA)<br><br>It is, after all, his birthday!<br><br>Cheers!<br><br>

Another couple mad train rides from Bergen to Oslo and then over to Stavanger took us to small oil town, from where we would make our way to the beautiful lyseford. The fjord is quite deep, and we came to take the hike up to the Preikestolen, high above the fjord. The hike was great, and though we were soaked by rain upon arriving in Stavanger, it wasn't too bad during the 2 hour trek up.

... that the Norway is the most expensive place on earth. I mean, $7 for a slice of pizza. $10 for a bagel sandwich. One place that was splurge-worthy was the little chocolate-and-coffee cafe that Kelley brought us to and where I had the most amazing hot chocolate. <br><br>A lot of the old buildings, especially those on the waterfront, have large windows on the middle of every floor and a roof overhang with a pulley attached. This ...

... scenic countryside to Stavanger. Got there around 4pm-just enough time for a walk and an explore around the town. Very cute buildings all multi-coloured. Dinner was at the hotel. Was pretty bad. Norway is very cold compared to Denmark which was lovely and sunny. Am feeling a bit grumpy as have been charged on my credit card for the tax on the tax free shopping I did in Italy. Was there only ...

... the Pedestrian sections of town. There were not too many touristy shops - lots of regular stores. In fact, this Saturday had many locals out shopping and eating in the restaurants. Unfortunately, it rained steady while we walked around, so we went into a mall that spans a bunch of buildings on different blocks, passing over streets in shop lined bridges. We found a nice park with an exhibit of a photographers work. We saw a local ...

... into this entry. Thus, click on the hyperlink "View all photos &amp; videos" or "Show all 20 thumbnails") However, the hike to this spot is no "walk in the park." You gotta have strong legs to do this hike and be able to climb the many boulders and rocks to get to this beautiful site. I remember walking up the hills and my heart was pounding so hard that I had to stop and ...

Flying Business Class The title of this entry is dedicated to the best experience I have EVER had on a plane... business class aka heaven. I have to take you through different categories because there is just so much to tell you about- Drinks: "Would you like a drink before we take off?" I was asked as soon as I found my lounge seat... Why yes, I would... Champagne in a glass? Delicious... Not to mention that right after the take off they came around again to see if we wanted ...

... figured the ferry would be a good time to sleep. I was with Thomas and Andreas and they would be able to tell me when to get up. However, the ferry was brand spanking new, and so quiet that you couldn't tell when the engines were running really. So my decision to lay in a quiet spot away from the other passengers turned out to be a bad decision when Thomas and Andreas (I'd call them T&amp;A - but thats a whole 'nother reference that I ...

... practically Touching the Void. Abyss next stop I thought while freaking out a tiny bit. So how would I deal with Kjeragbolten? A rock (tiny in my opinion) wedged into the crack of a mountain, with a 1000 meter sheer drop down to Lysefjorden. Plenty of people have been balancing on it before, and apparently all of them have survived. A not so tiny miracle if you ask me. Could I possibly ruin the statistics? Having started the hike very early, and with a daypack still loaded ...
