Rica Park Drammen

... a couple of blocks from the main town square. It was a ticketed event so it was gated and there was cricket match style fun police guarding the entrance. However, our first encounter with Lene was two hours before the gates were due to open when the Italian/International Lene Marlin Fan Club wandered into the park to see her reherse without any resistance at all. This was my first ever real life encounter with Lene, the foxy girl who grew up in the arctic ...

... versions of his works). The Scream is of course his most famous one, and it has been stolen from both galleries. The security going into the Munch museum was heavier than at Oslo airport. ---Speaking of Oslo airport, on my arrival no one checked my passport at all, and customs was vitrually non-existant too. hmm?--- There have been a few challenges during my trip. I am starting to feel quite travel jaded, and I am forgetting things a lot and seem to have ...

... to the top) followed by a visit to the Viking Ship Museum (no Per, Charlie didn't try to touch it) and then finally to see Kon Tiki and Ra II rafts. We also paid a visit to the National Museum to see Edvard Munch's painting called The Scream - quite a sight. That's it for now, this internet cafe doesn't let us download photos. Bye.

... thing to happen to a guy when he is in Spain! Back to the hostel - what the heck? Three hours later and my laundry was STILL being washed? This was bizarre because the time remaining is shown right on the machine - it should have been done by now, not have another 90 minutes remaining! It turns out that somebody threw in some clothes or towels without checking and washed everything again! At least these clothes will be ...

... back to London but i was busing it up to Scotland that night so i needed to get a riggle on. My few days in London finished with a lovely dinner with Brian's friends Len and Marina and her two lovely children. A perfect end to the few days, Marina was even kind enough to give me a lift to the bus station. Another megabus journey for £17. Tuesday 22Nd April: Ben Nevis and the West Highland Way I don't exactly remember how i first heard about the west highland way but when i did i ...

... was also very interesting and had many beautiful artifacts. The three ships were burial ships of wealthy or noble people. With them there had been burried all their nice possessions, some of which were recovered if grave robbers hadn't stolen them. To us poor students the Vikings seemed also wasteful sinc they also burried their dead with horses (transportation) and food in order for them to make the journey to the afterlife.

... the Flords, took a bus up the steepest hill in Norway which buses are allowed to travel on (1 lane the whole way) then caught a train back to Oslo. Obviously I couldn't leave Oslo before going to The Munch Museum (he was born in Norway) to see The Scream (check out the photos). It was bloody amazing to see Munch's paintings in real life. The pictures in all the art books just can't compare. After seeing all the sights we jumped on a train and headed to Stockholm, Sweden.

Nå er jeg i Drammen da.. ikke verdens mest spennende by kanskje... men etter noen uker her har jeg funnet ut at jeg liker meg ganske godt:) Tro det eller ei, men Drammen er ikke lenger like møkkete og harry som før! Nye bilder er det ikke så mange av, siden dagene ikke er de mest ...

When I was four (which seemed a lifetime ago to me now that I was all of six years old) we had had an aupair named Siri. She had looked after both Paige and I and we were very fond of her. Hence, our second trip in Europe was to visit Siri and her family in their native Norway. We took the German ICE train up to Hamburg and then ...
