Eigentlich wollten wir noch nach Bergen, da für diese Region aber Dauerregen angesagt war, beschlossen wir nach Lillehammer zu fahren.Auf dem Weg dorthin fuhren wir durch den längsten Tunnell Norwegens. Er ist 25 km lang und alle 8 km kommt eine kleine Ausstellhalle die blau beleuchtet ist.<br>Bis jetzt hatten wir nie Probleme eine Unterkunft zu finden. In ...

... it is related to our people's painful experiences with the cost of war. 2000 years of exile, genocide, and pogrom and more recently, 100 years of Arab-Israeli war have served to thrust many of us into the role of mediator, conflict resolver, and global human rights activists. The list of Jewish peace prizewinners includes Elie Wiesel, Menachem Begin, Shimon Peres, Yitzchak Rabin, Henry Kissinger and Jody Williams. <br><br>In 2007, Al Gore and The ...

... I found, according to a guidebook, "N. Europe's biggest and best-preserved concentration of wooden house. More than 170 houses were built at the end of 18th and beginning of the 19th century". The small houses are close to each other, neat and have a lot of character and flowers. My original plan was to do this the day before, but instead I went fishing, a very good trade-off - I got to see a part of Norway and a part of Norwegian life that not a whole lot of ...

... no son tus muertos? Debe ser el recuerdo de las lecturas de Borges y ese poema suyo del mar que siempre ha estado presente. Antes de que el sueño o el terror tejieran mitologías y comogonías, antes de que el tiempo se acuñara en días, el mar, el siempre mar, ya estaba y era. ¿Quién es el mar? ¿Quién es aquel violento y antiguo ser que roe las columnas de la tierra y es uno y muchos mares, y abismo y resplandor y azar y viento? Sales a caminar y ...

... world....and made me think about the Norge people....they just kind of do their own thing...don't really engage much with each other...certainly don't really move out of your way or excuse themselves..but its not even really a rudeness about it...just life...but not fast paced either. and there are very few blonds...loads of brunettes and loads of like Somalians and Arabic types here....its interesting. kids are cute though! and boy they seem smart...the weest of ...

... sculpture of a man shaking off an army of screaming babies from his body, as if they were alien creatures attacking him. Soon we reached the great fountain we had discerned from far away. In the center of the circular basin, six giants hold up a huge vessel aloft and from it a curtain of white water spills down around them and into the basin. Much ...

... to go the entire tour without luggage incl the baltic cruise.. So the Baltic cruise...what can I say..? Just glad that was the only one I had to do this season..Hopefully my cruiseship days are over...for good... Not that the Princess ships aren't nice and having a balcony cabin, sailing into Sthlm, helsinki, seeing St petersburg and being wined and dined is ok, but knowing what will be on the dining menu next evening because it's the same as on the Alaska cruise, recognizing the shows ...

... that reminded me of childhood summer days along the Great Lakes in northern Michigan. We had only a brief afternoon in Oslo before boarding the overnight train to Bergen. Oslo, we found, was not a particularly glamorous city, but its prices certainly were. Famished and on the hunt for a cheap eat, we settled on grabbing a sandwich at a humble Burger King of Karl Johan´s Gate, only to discover afterwards that a valu-meal and a half cost well over ...

... always thought there was only one, and that it had been stolen back in '94 or so. I also enjoyed some other Norwegian treats on this trip. I was introduced to Kinder Eggs, which are made of good chocolate, but are most fun for the toys inside the eggs. B made me taste brown Norwegian goat cheese. The first bites are okay, but after that I prefer white goat cheese. I also enjoyed some very delicious Norwegian salmon that B made, and B made something with peanut sauce one night. It ...
