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>

... easily go across it wihout any problems.<br>In the evening we had a great dinner at a restaurant called Rökeriet. They have specialised in seafood and it was a great meal. I have eaten there before and that was the reason I would like to bring my friends there also.<br>

... for the year, on sabbatical from the UofS in Saskatoon, and are our neighbours back in Saskatoon. It is great to see familiar faces!!! We have celebrated Norway's National Day with the rest of the people of Fredrikstad on May 17th. There were parades everywhere and lots of food and parties all day long. The other big news for Norway is that Alexander Rybak (from Norway) won the Euro-vision talent contest last night, and everyone is so excited about that!

Left Stavern later than anticipated after having a fight with the tent and packing my bag. Why do things always come out easily but you can never get everything back in. Solution tie my smeller wet trainers on to the side of the rucksack. 1 day of trekking and they really do smell. Anyway arrived in Tønsberg just after mid-day in glorious sunshine. Tønsberg is reported to be the oldest town in Norway built in the ...

... of how Andebu's dialect is different from the one in Oslo (which is supposedly the way "fine" people talk). I'm not anywhere close to fluent in Norwegian sign, but I can ask and answer all kinds of questions that are very specific to each of the residents. I am also realizing that I only have about 3 weeks left. I can't believe it. I must admit I've already started to ...

... was marvelous. I worked with two other care-takers: Svere (I hope that's how you spell it), and Anna who is also a substitute worker like myself, and is from Poland. She, however, has lived in Norway for 3 years, so her Norwegian is a million times better than mine. Still, it was comforting to have her with me on my first day without Gro there. She knows what it's like to try to learn Norwegian by living in Norway, so I feel like we're on the same team even ...

It was a smaller one than that by which we had performed the first part of our journey, but a swifter sailer. Besides, we were now reduced to number; there were only the two Krogers and myself as passengers, and the pilot, who had a very small boy to help him work the boat. My notions of the Christiania Fjord where much altered by that day's experience; for instead of a ...

... Arbetaren" (Tthe Swedish Workman), an illustrated sheet similar in appearance to its British namesake. Going back to my lodgings I was suddenly hailed from a room on the ground floor of a house. On entering, I found my fellow voyager, the tailor, who declared nothing should induce him to put to sea again for the present. How he was to get home without doing so, he could not foresee; but he should take a fortnight's rest to consider of it. A rye-loaf lay on the ...

... kjøre til Sandefjorde, for så å ta ferga derfra til Strømstad i Sverige. Vi spiste middag i Varberg ettefulgt av den ganske så lang reise gjennom Sverige. Når vi ankom København i Danmark på kvelden var det på tide med en ny båt. Denne skulle ta oss med til Polen, og på den skulle vi overnatte. Fikk kveldsmat ombord.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
