Klubben Hotel Tønsberg

... These words accurately describe what we have seen in so many of the places we have been to. OK, I will try... Vienna has one of the most beautiful churches. St. Stephens is gothic in style and we were lucky enough to attend a mass there one evening. We had wanted to hear the pipe organ, a goal that we have set for as many places as possible as the pipe organ is such an amazing instrument. There happened to be a concert on the day we were walking ...

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/

... at 3:00 or 4:00pm and nothing in town is open on Sundays, so if you are thinking of ever travelling in Norway keep this in mind. Most of the time skies are over cast here but I managed to capture a few shots of when the weather was nice.

... century with its medieval fortress built on top of a 63 metre high hill. But personally i felt it is the most modern town i have visited so far in Norway, with the appearance of the first internet cafe and traffic lights. Then again there is alot more traffic in Tønsberg! Firstly visited the Vestfold County Musuem although it appear interesting everything is in Norwegian apart from section on Tønsberg whaling ...

Landed at Torp Airport on time and made the short bus trip to Larvik, a town famous for Thor Heyerdahl - a scientist and explorer who sold across the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean in reed boats, to prove contact could have occured between the major civilisation in man's early history. The first thing to do on any trip is find the tourist information office and find out what part of the lonely planet is out of date. On this ...

The 30th we spent at the Brekkhus' house and went to the movies to see "The Holiday". Since movies are not dubbed, it was no problem for me. It was undertitled in Norwegian, and that way I learned a couple of Norwegian words. New Year's Eve we went to the house of friends from Lizzie's family, and we had a wonderful time. In the afternoon we did something typically Norwegian: A hike ...

On Thursday of the next week my class went on a trip for gym class. We walked up a mountain to a lake. It was really hard to climb up but we made it. Before we went we divided into smaller groups and planned what food we would each bring. I brought corn, brown sugar, and aluminum foil. When we got there my group started to build our fire. We couldn't get to start for a long time, but eventually we got it ...

... this now, but I was rather anti-social. I ended up keeping my nose in my book most of the day, although I took breaks to sleep in the sun. I also took a walk with Joe around the island. There were wild flowers everywhere, and you could see a constant stream of boats going from the mainland to other islands farther out. Oh, and dinner! I tried these fish patties that Gro bought for me at the supermarket and they were incredible! I must find out what they are called ...

... to get the conversation going, especially when you're as slow in Norwegian as I am. Anyway, I'm really impressed with his photography. He also brought out a book of panoramic shots from around Norway for me to look at. I asked for a map to go with it, so I could at least get familiar with some of the names and try to start putting some visuals with them. Again, it was wonderful. Then he brought out another book, this ...
