First Hotel Alstor Stavanger

I went to Stavanger in june to attend the beach volleyball world tour, but when I got there I <br>fund so much else to do that I didnt find the time to watch the volleyball. Its was insane, and <br>the best part is that everything is so close that you can do alot in one day. I spendt 10 days there <br>and it is without doubt the best vacation I have ever been on.<br><br>I live in Amsterdam and ...

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.

Hello Everyone!<br><br>We have made it safe and sound to Stavanger. Twice for Sandy and Grace in a 10 day period and ofcourse Bruce has been here for 7 months now, with as many trips home as he could manage.<br><br>Our house is very nice. It has been 7 months since we selected it and ofcourse Bruce has been very busy making it homey for us. I had forgotten how big it was! 3 floors to clean! <br><br>I have attached pics but only of the outdoor and ...

... pretty similar to Amsterdam; since the doors and stairs are so narrow, furniture and other big items are brought to the top floors by a pulley and through the window. <br><br>While I was there Kelley and I went to the Red Cross for a cooking class night about Indian food. The event is part of a program aiming to integrate ex-pats into Norwegian life. I'm not sure if how this night fits in with the mission, since the only ...

... months ago and I haven't even left the EU yet! And on top of that and my credit card getting cancelled because of credit-card-detail-stealing theives and the five parcels that never made it home, I am feeling a bit ****** off. Two fingers to all ******* theives!!!! Am just really annoyed. Will probably feel better in the morning! Right now I wanna go home!!! (Don't worry Mum will be OK really!!!)

... nearly take a header over a short fence into a pond - his mother caught the back of his jacket before he went over. Certainly it was the most people we had seen since leaving Boston. Stavanger is a pleasant small city, one worth returning to. We dressed for Formal Night, and did open seating in the Rotterdam Dining Room. Luckily, we were seated with a very nice pair of couples - yet another pair that cruise together regularly. This ...

... my breath a few times. The round trip hike took us 5 hours to complete. I am sure one can do it in 4 hours, however, we stopped to take many many pictures. We took our time and enjoyed nature at its best. Knowing that this trip is not an easy hike, it was completely amazing to see how many older folks and some kids hiking this trail. We even saw some dogs!! We met Ryan and ...

... drink. During dinner there was a wine list to choose from- reds, whites, champagnes, beers, other drinks that are unworthy to mention alongside of these... and after dinner of course there was port for your cheese course and an apperatif if you wanted. Dear Lord. Also, all the bottled water you could ever hope for and there before you even ask for it. Food: An all you can munch buffet with fruits and bottled water and coffee and tea... Or if you just can't get up just ask ...

... t want to get confused with...okay A&amp;T is good) don't notice that we docked and everyone got off the ferry. So A&amp;T finally realize whats going on and by then our bus is long gone into the near-Stavanger twilight. Ya, we missed our bus. We find out that we are kinda screwed because nothing leaves that port area except for the incoming traffic, so we start hiking. We are hoping one of A&amp;T's friends will come out and pick us up ...

... brunost and Solo", there was hardly a tourist around when we reached Kjeragbolten. Alf Kåre was first man out on the rock (it's not my first time, I heard him say more than Bill Wyman back in his glory Rolling Stones days), then a young Danish woman (the most famous and one of the highest points in Denmark is about 147 meter above sea level, we are not talking sheer drops here, but about a rolling hill called "Sky Mountain"). Then another young Norwegain couple and ...
