Quality Hotel And Resort Fagern Fagernes

... parlant parce que apparament que Oslo est une des capital les plus chers en Europe. Petit fait cocasse, les Courrones(monnaies norvegienne) sont beaucoup moins cher que l'euro, donc une bouteille de coke va couter 26,30Kr. En fait c'est a peu pres 2-3 euro. Donc au guichet, sa me fait rire tout le temps, je demande 1500 Kr. Je sais pas pour vous, mais moi j'ai jamais sorti 1500 piasse d'une devise quelconque. Sa me fait rire un peu d ...

... it. I have great memories of this city from my time at the conference, but otherwise, I would not have lasted here too long! I didn't really get a great vibe from Oslo itself (ie. the creepiness, the homelessness, the prices) and it's too damn expensive for me. But I'd definitely like to come back when I can allot proper time and finances!<br><br>It's always a weird feeling coming home. To be honest I'm usually I'm quite bitter about it, but fortunately (to my ...

I took an extra day to explore Oslo before flying home. I switched hotels to a hostel 4km out of the city since I couldn't really afford to stay where I was. (I haven't mentioned this yet but I've become addicted to taking the tram. I guess everyone has their preference; the public transport (by metro, tram, or bus) is incredibly effecient and the city is entirely linked. I definitely prefer the tram and sometimes ride it ...

... was most intimidated to meet turned out to be lax and incredibly supportive. There were definitely times when I felt a little uncomfortable but I don't think I would have had as great of an experience if it was planned any other way. (I guess it's similar to traveling.) I am glad that I'm here alone and that I was seen for what I have to offer (no more no less), and not as "my advisor's student". I think that's a big difference between this experience and the ...

... was so nice to get a new perspective from others (besides my advisor) who are extremely established and have my best intentions in mind. Just being able to talk to them about what Ive been doing and to get positive/constructive feedback in itself made the whole conference worthwhile. <br><br>I went out for dinner with them and the group from NCAR, NOAA, ORNL (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), the steering committee and program organizer. It was incredibly ...

... bilder. Var ikke mulig å se Vøringsfossen på avstand, pga tåke og regn.<br>Var vanskelig å finne overnatting, fantes ikke i Eidfjord, verken i øvre eller nedre, så jeg begynte å ringe, og det nærmeste jeg kom var i Utne, på Lothe camping. Det var et riktig trivelig sted, fikk rom i den gamle hovedbygningen på gården, men flott utsikt over fjorden. Helt nye bad- og toalett-rom, som måtte deles med to andre, men rent og fint, og en god seng.

... of the 160 well preserved houses dating back to 1700. Also visited Wild Salmon Centre, saw a fabulous film about the fish and watched them live in a tank which was part of the river - so they where actually swimming against the natural current.<br>Only a brief stop of a couple of hours - bought more strawberries, fresh pork chops [ which turned out to be bacon chops] and ...

... working in Oslo at the time (including Kim, one of the guys from Copenhagen) Randy and I flew directly into Oslo from London on Friday afternoon, met up with Matt, and climbed in a rental car to make our way up to Hemsedal. We had pretty sketchy directions which consisted of a few highway names, so I was a bit afraid that we would get lost somewhere in the Norweigan forest, but it ended up being an easy and pretty 3.5 ...

Finally there. We though that from the Norwegian border it would be half the trip left, it was wrong, but I had no problem. From Gol to Hemsedal it was that bad of a snowstorm that you couldn't see longer then 10 meters, that was fun to drive in. It took us some time to get ours stuff ready. And then we walk up some part of the mountain to snowboard up and down.

... Trolls). This road is a masterpiece of engineering and was Norway's most famous road. We climb up the valley to go down this road. We stopped at a strawberry farm at about 10am to have free tea. The idea is to have us buy a strawberry cake while we are at it. I had no qualms spending 40Nok on this huge piece of fabulous strawberry cake. As we traveled towards the top, the scenary changes from the signature trees and waterfalls to rocky mountain side with patches of ...
