Engo Gard Oslo

... it. I have great memories of this city from my time at the conference, but otherwise, I would not have lasted here too long! I didn't really get a great vibe from Oslo itself (ie. the creepiness, the homelessness, the prices) and it's too damn expensive for me. But I'd definitely like to come back when I can allot proper time and finances!

It's always a weird feeling coming home. To be honest I'm usually I'm quite bitter about it, but fortunately (to my ...

... at the hostel yesterday told me to get the hell out of Scandinavia if I want to last for six months on this trip… the next two weeks could be damaging to my wallet.

And that brings us up to date. So far the scenic train to Bergen looks a lot like BC and I like it. It reminds me of houseboating. The water might be colder though.

Stay tuned for some less urban adventures.

... from my Blackberry as it, too, had connectivity.

About half the trip was up the Oslo Fjord. It’s LONG! The number of boats on it was phenomenal. Houses and marinas lined the shores—the day was beautiful and sunny. Everything looked so ideal. Norway is a very wealthy country. Scandinavia overall is very prosperous. That’s one big reason they see little need to change their lives….what’s ...

Finally we have arrived here to visit with Heidi, Norm, Maria and Mattias. This is one of the handful of goals we had made many months ago! Heidi grew up a few houses down the block from where she is now living, and is here for one year, which for her is sadly coming to an end. This is HER home, but the family will soon move back to OUR home, as they are our neghbors, living across the street from us in Saskatoon for the past 8 or so years. The ...

... the history and culture of Norway you get Vikings, Folk stories and Trolls (ugly little things that were commercialised into the toys you played with as kids with funky coloured hair in hot pinks, greens and blues). It is a beautiful yet expensive country - it is not hard to identifying just how overpriced it is here in Norway- but by 5pm we were safely onboard and warm waving good bye to our northern neighbour on our way home again... vi ses, Oslo!!

It was surprisingly mild when we arrived at Gardemoen (airport) on this morning. None of us slept much on the plane. It is always surreal setting down into a new country. Our first plan is to record video for our TV channel, but since we were not allowed to import our equipment we need to buy it all in Oslo. Too tired today. We'll keep you up-to-date. http://www.norwaytraveltv.tv/

Left Stavern later than anticipated after having a fight with the tent and packing my bag. Why do things always come out easily but you can never get everything back in. Solution tie my smeller wet trainers on to the side of the rucksack. 1 day of trekking and they really do smell. Anyway arrived in Tønsberg just after mid-day in glorious sunshine. Tønsberg is reported to be the oldest town in Norway built in the ...

... and it associated red coloured church. Very picturique with most houses in this Norwegian town having traditional wooden walls and slate roof. Trying to speak Norwegain but when they realise i am from England they either speak English or ignore me all together. One other note it is expensive to shower here costing 15 Nkr (about £1.30) to have hot water. Got a feeling i better get use to cold water or i am going to stink.
