Rica City Hotel Fredrikstad

It was on the island called Nord-koster me and my wife used to stay when we were younger. We came here 17 summers in row from our children were small.<br>Today we should go from Ekenäs to the northern island and take the cable ferry that runs between the two islands. It is no more than an hour to walk and it was a great trip.<br><br>

We stayed at the Ekenäs hotel which you can see right at the place where the ferry arrive at Syd-Koster. It is a nice hotel.<br>There are almost no cars on the island and bicycles are very common. You can rent bicycles many place and the island is quite small, so you ...

... their uncles carpet emporium or silk shop. They don't insist on a donation to help the poor people cremate their loved ones. They don't claim racism when we don't stop to talk to them. Europe must be described in terms of 'Baroque' or 'Gothic'. There are periods of time like the Austro-Prussian War, the Roman era, the Dark Ages, Ottoman Rule, Medieval Times, the Thirty Years War, the Renaissance, the Bronze Age, the War of Independence, the Viking Age ...

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/

... with the idea of coming back to work again next summer... Tomorrow after work the plan is to hop on a bus by myself to ride up to Oslo and meet up with Meghan for the weekend. It is my first trip without any of the Iversens so it's pretty exciting. I'm also very excited to be in a city again, rather than the country. It will be a good little break. Anyway, I'm off to bed. Natta!

... of mashed potato mix, and they vanquished me. I didn't know all the words in the instructions but I got the general idea of what to do. The problem was the measurements!! I can't eyeball 1.5 liters of water (which I was able to deal with after I found the dl measuring cup) nor can I eye-ball 5 Norwegian tablespoons of margarine (which are not the same as American tablespoons). There was no set of spoons for measuring, so I gave up and went, as I always do, for ...

... for a mile or two, among the Fjords, that there was not wind enough to impel the boat, without the aid of an oar. No sooner were we fairly out in the open sea, than we found a very different state of things. It was blowing a gale, and after some hours this increased so as to risk ourgetting "capsized" - so we were compelled to return to land. We struck a point on the coast, about a couple of miles from Sandefjord, and not much further from the place we had left in the morning ...

... We visited the beautiful fort and had a sleep beside a reservoir. Some lazy ducks slept besied us even when I went to take some photos for them. A yacht taking many young girls and boys was on the surface of the lake. They would dive there. So all of them weared diving dress. A girl's breasts were too big :P to zip up the zipper of the dress. She was so hurry that she shouted at other to "Press it!".... What a lovely work!~ I like it~

I 1998 startet Helga Arntzen så Aktive Fredsreiser. I tillegg til arbeide mot nynazisme fokuserer Aktive Fredsreiser også på menneskerettigheter og fredsskapende prosesser. Aktive ...
