Park Inn Stavanger

... must say that Norway is a fantastic place to be. The lovly nature and the good looking girls. If there is one bad thing I must say about Norway it has to be the weather, but thats a part of it. 

But Norway and Stavanger has it all!! Surfing, skating, party life, great nature and hot women, travel destinaton number one: Stavanger Norway ladies and gentleman!! 


STAVANGER FTW!!

... again! Ha! Yeah right....we are tourists.....but we are working on changing this!

Anyway.......one leaves Stavanger due East and enters the Hoogsfjorden and then take a sharp and narrow turn north into the Lysefjorden. The pictures attached speak for themselves. Simply awesome! I'll just throw in some factoids to entice you to visit!

And I quote....."the Lysefjord was formed by glaciers during the ice age about 10,000 years ago. Norway was covered in a ...

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.

... of food and crafts. Sandy has begged off...no worries....he has been very good but shopping is not his thing,. Apparently the salmon are running and this weekend we are going fishing......That is more his speed as well as Bruce's.

Bruce has been away alot the past month,,,,,so he has to do catch up. Totally understandable.

No language issues yet. All folks have some English and most full. The problem is we blend in as in skin ...

The gastronomic centre of Europe this month was not in France, but close to the arctic circle, in Stavanger, Norway Some of Norway's and Europe's best chefs, including the legendary Paul Bocuse, descended this month on the small city of Stavanger, on Norway's south-west coast, for both the Norwegian championship in culinary arts and the inaugural Bocuse d'Or Europe chefs championship in a three-day culinary summit organised as part of the city's busy program as the ...

I am in Stavanger, Norway's fourth biggest city with about 150,000 inhabitants. To get here, I took Kystbussen or the WestCoast Express Bus from near my brother's place. The bus runs between Bergen and Stavanger every hour through some of the most spectacular scenery of Norway along the coast and across the outer reaches of the Hardangerfjord. The bus connects ...

This is the last blog entry. We're feeling a little emotional about this fact, but we'll go out with a bang! Since our previous entry we have been to Amsterdam, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Oslo, Bergen and finally Stavanger. We stayed in Amsterdam for two nights, which is certainly enough to get an extreme headache from the constant and unabating smell of cannabis. There is no let up from it, you name it, it smells of cannabis. Similarly there isn't much escape from sex ...

Since it is January...I thought that I would make a list of all the things that that I will be better at because of my time spent in Norway. 10. Parking in small places - so many of the parking spots here are so narrow! My reverse parking skills have definitely improved. 9. Not wasting food - since food is so expensive here I have become much better at only buying the groceries that I plan to use for ...

Ah, Stavanger, land of expensive beer and tall nordic women (so I've heard!)... I managed to spend a good 18 months over in Stavanger, working with Centrilift (part of Baker Hughes). It was a great experience, although I was pretty green when I went out there, and things really were up the creek without a paddle in pretty much every sense of the phrase. I worked out there with Eddie Moore, Robert Brown, Monika Paulsen and Bjorg Larsen, all part of the Norwegian country team ...
