Alesund was the next stop, a place of 40,000 souls with the largest fishing fleet stationed out of its port. After climbing the 418 steps to the top of the Aksla mountain in the middle of and over looking Alesund, one gazes upon a town constructed in the Art Nouveau style. The original town burned down completely in 1904 and this 'new' place is amazing. Wonderful buildings. At Alesund a person is introduced to several sub-sea tunnels ...

... marks the crossing point. We were scheduled to go on 2 different expeditions (Chris and Melanie on a rafting trip and Jim and Martha on a glacial expedition), both of which were cancelled due to stormy weather. The boat also had to change its course. Although we were originally supposed to go to the Lofoten Islands (which Melanie was especially ...

... but the remnant snow from previous days provided a nice white dusting on the mountain valleys, farmlands and woods that we passed. Despite our late departure and delays en route due to a predominantly single-track alignment causing crossing loop delays, we arrived into Trondheim right on time. I had originally planned for Steve and I to stop at Hamar, a station about an hour from Oslo. Here we were to have visited the Norwegian Railway Museum. However, we were unable to get clear ...

Da er det bare en liten uke igjen. Mentalt er vi allerede på vei, m en rent praktisk er det mye som gjenstår før vi kan ta sekkene på ryggen..  Å få opprettet en slik blogg er ikke he lt min greie, men ser jo at det er en f in måte å hilse hjem på. Også er det jo  unektelige  litt tilfredsstillende ...

... is smaller than Bergen, with about 145,000 residents. The city center occupies a triangular piece of land surrounded on two sides by the river Nidelva and on the third by the harbor, bordering Trondheimsfjorden. People in Trondheim are just as friendly and helpful as we found them to be in Bergen, which makes finding our way around so much easier. We have enjoyed some absolutely beautiful sunny, warm weather the ...

... for the day. This will take us about 400 miles south to Oslo. We are beginning to become more familiar with this route as it takes us across spectacular valleys, mountains and rivers. The seven hour ride went fast. I was able to use a free table to update our Russian and Estonian databases for the Bible Study course. Johnnie Lambert will be going to Estonia January 14th and I wanted to get the latest to him as soon as I arrive home. It took about ...

So jetzt der zweite Teil. Typisch deutsch waren wir überpünktlich mit unserem Essen da - wir waren die ersten. Darum hatten wir dann auch umso mehr Zeit unseren Tisch zu dekorieren. In Ermangelung an deutschen Elementen (Fahne etc), hatten wir uns für das Thema Herbst entschieden. So langsam trudelte die Konkurrenz ein, ein amerikanisches Team mit typisch fritierten Hühnchen und Schokokuchen, Belgier mit selbstgemachtem Spekulatius und Marzipan. Neben ...

... super nett, fühl mich hier sehr wohl, obwohl ich heut so einen kleinen Heimweh-Rückfall hatten und ein bißchen traurig war, aber naja. Wir wollen Ende August mal zum Fussballspiel gehen - ein skandinavisches Duell: Tempere (Finnland) : Rosenborg Trondheim (Norwegen). Heute war das Hinspiel in Temepere und was soll ich sagen, wir haben natuerlich gewonnen (3:0)!!! 19.08.2007 Hier sind ein paar Fotos von unserem BBQ heute abend. War zwar kalt aber sehr lustig.

... closed but the views of the town and fjords were just amazing. The sky was a crimson colour as the sun started to go down but never really did. From there we walked across town to the old town wall and watched the sun as it still struggled to set. I guess the good thing about it is that you can watch a sunset for hours on end around here. The city itself was kinda dull which led to a very relaxing night and plenty of rest for the upcoming days.

We had to stop here for the novelty of it (and it was on the way to camp). Yes, there is a town called Hell and we stopped at the deserted train station to take a few photos. Five minutes was more than enough and it wasn't as exciting as it had been made out to be.
