Ellingsens pensjonat Oslo

... all creepiness aside.

All in all I felt ready to head out when I did. I had a short flight back to Iceland, and then a direct from Reykjavik to Seattle. (The weather in Iceland was just as I left it... misty, windy, cloudy, and quite miserable.) Oslo was nice but I wasn't really feeling it. I'm sure I would have different impressions had I been able to see more of Norway and make it out to the fjords and North. But really though, I couldn't even ...

... not the only ones doing it. We grilled some burgers, played a little frisbee (unfortunately not beersbie), and enjoyed the end of the sunniest day in the history of Oslo. That may be false.

Now I will spend four days in Bergen, seeing what I’m told is a very scenic area of Norway. After that its backtracking to Gothenburg for the festival, and then Iceland. Someone I ran ...

... get a good view.

It is a picture perfect day in Fridrickshavn (I keep spelling this city differently each time….looks just as wrong each time).

We set out on our eight hour trip across the Baltic and up the Oslo Fjord. I really enjoyed it a lot. In a lounge I was able to quietly sit, read and catch up on some emails. There was an Internet at Sea service, but I found that I could send anything I ...

... unlike most of the major pieces of architecture. We stumbled across Karl Johann's Gate, which is basically a major street in the heart of old Oslo with lots of shops, cafes and restaurants. Since it was Saturday there were a lot of people about going in and out of the shops and hitting the restaurants. We took in some of the cafes - a nice refuge from the snow which did not stop falling all day- the warm woolen mittens were a must!! If you delve ...

... jump, we went to the Open Air Folk Museum. It is a recreation of life in Norway dating back to 1250. They have brought buildings from all over the country and reassembled them here to show how primitive life was back then. Most families lived in a one-room house, with a central hearth and a hole cut in the ceiling to let the smoke out. Their storehouses were usually twice as big as the house. Since winter lasted 6 months, they had ...

... por lo visto. Como veréis en las fotos, las montañas están bastante erosionadas. Y aún así, impresiona muchísimo. El barco se acerca a veces a la costa a tan sólo 2 ó 3 metros, y la profundidad bajo el agua es de más de 400 m. Y vi el Preikestollen desde abajo, qué chulo! Montones de cascadas bajan a ambos lado s del fiordo... y luego tuve ocasión de comprobar de dónde. Llegamos a Lysebotn, el final del fiordo... y ahí comenzaba mi aventura de cruzarme Noruega en coche. Excepto ...

... tips and offering advise on what to expect over the next few days. There is a real camaraderie between the trekkers, you get the feeling that we are all in this together. Telling people your doing an overland to Australia always makes me the centerer of attention and usually i can spot someone who has over heard me talking about it, they hover around doing nothing in particular and when they get their chance they step in with "did i hear you right, your traveling overland to ...

(Amy) In some ways, it feels the trip is entering a new phase now. When we arrived in the beautiful city of Bergen yesterday, it became apparent that we will now be operating outside of our English-speaking comfort zone for much of the next several months. I forgot how disorienting it is to not be able to understand a sign or newspaper, and this in a ...

... here in Norway. The park is filled with sculptures of naked people. I know it sounds weird but it is really beautiful. One man made all the sculptures. There are sculptures of babies all the way up to elderly people. They are all in different poses, which makes it look even more interesting. Then we walked through the main street of Oslo and did a little shopping, and then drove home to Krokstadelva. The next day ...
