... The tour of Auschwitz and Burkinow took a good portion of the day with some free time in between because we missed our bus to Burkinow! It worked out well though because our second guide was a native English speaker who understood the subtleties of our questions. With Berlin our next destination, we stirred up a whirlwind as we looked around the ever changing city. It was more ramshackle than I thought it would be. It has not yet recovered and has ...

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 ...

... to Stavern following the blue dots painted on a variety of rocky outcrops, wooden posts and trees. This was alot of fun clambering over the granite rocks, walking through small patches of woodland and the views of the Skerries (rocky islands). However getting wet feet, embarrasingly slipping off the smooth granite rocks, getting stung by stinging nettles and even getting lost somehow didn't ruin a good walk. The ...

... Friday morning we will travel on to to Sweden. Gothenburg is only three and a half hours away by train. Our taxi driver Karl Roland picked us up promptly at 7:30 am. We really like his personable nature. Again, the taxi meter is intere$ting. After we load up our luggage, the meter starts at $11 dollars. What's it going to cost to the train station this time? Bruce has a non-stop conversation going with him ...

... want to cook at least one meal before I leave especially since they have been such incredible hosts. I hope I can find some!!! I talked with Troy and Märta on messenger, which was fun. They are both done with their exams and are enjoying life. Troy asked me if I am ready to come back and give my 10-word summary to answer the "So, how was Norway?" question, and I realized I dislike that more than most of the reverse-culture shock. It's just awkward, and strange ...

... trying to get from the car to the porch...5 or 10 feet max. After we were all inside it started to hail. I think the biggest hail I've seen is probably about the size of a pea at home. This was more like a marble. It was big and coming down fast and hard. After it finally stopped, we had a significant pile of ice on the back deck. When I came home, Ivar said he'd never seen a storm like that.

Yes, 70 years. That's for Ivar's 50th birthday, and Joe's 20th. It was good fun. There were about 30 guests who started arriving around 6pm and filling in the two party tents that had been set up in the front yard. There was grilling, and cocktails, volleyball, a trampoline, and lots of laughter. I got to meet a bunch of family members which was fun. I even managed to make conversation a little bit...haha, but not too much. Allan ...

... Pretty sweet. At the airport in Amsterdam I had a moment of longing to be going to Spain when I found myself in a flock of Spanish travelers going the opposite direction of myself. After my second short flight I managed to find Gro, Jo-Petter's mom, who had a sign with my name on it. She is such a nice lady. I have to say, I was a little nervous about ...

I finally made it all the way to Norway and back. It was a little iffy there for a while early Friday morning when I was standing out at the busstop at 4:15 a.m. waiting for the night bus. I waited for it an hour before it finally came, so I barely made it to the airport in time. But who wants to sit around waiting in the airport anyway! This way I just ran up to the counter, ran to my gate, and then jumped onto the ...

<br>Aktive Fredsreiser<br>I 1992 startet Helga Arntzen foreningen Hvite Busser til Auschwitz. Dette ble senere en Stiftelse. Formålet var å gi en effektiv vaksine mot nynazisme i Norge. I 1998 startet Helga Arntzen så Aktive Fredsreiser. I tillegg til arbeide mot nynazisme fokuserer Aktive Fredsreiser også på menneskerettigheter og fredsskapende prosesser. Aktive ...
