... lot of abandoned buildings, and a lot of construction. The history is in your face as we walked around buildings full of bullet holes and statues with pieces missing. We had two full days in Berlin and felt as though we had an appreciation for the history during a 4.5 hour walking tour. From Berlin we rode a train for a night and part of the day to get to friend Heidi and Norm's Norwegian hang out. They and their two kids Maria and Mattias are in ...

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/

... at 3:00 or 4:00pm and nothing in town is open on Sundays, so if you are thinking of ever travelling in Norway keep this in mind. Most of the time skies are over cast here but I managed to capture a few shots of when the weather was nice.

... century with its medieval fortress built on top of a 63 metre high hill. But personally i felt it is the most modern town i have visited so far in Norway, with the appearance of the first internet cafe and traffic lights. Then again there is alot more traffic in Tønsberg! Firstly visited the Vestfold County Musuem although it appear interesting everything is in Norwegian apart from section on Tønsberg whaling ...

... pyramid shaped remembrance momument is definitely worth a look before finally arriving at Stavern. Described as Norway's smallest town and affectionately 'known as the dimple of Norway'. Not sure if i would describe it as a dimple but it is definitrly worth a visit a small town which is so laid back. This town also has alot of military history and was once a naval base stood in the ground of Fredriksvern ...

We asked K Paw Gay not to fix anything special for breakfast, but she did. It was so nice to see how she and her husband Htee Hser worked together such as in the meal preparation the night before. He was peeling potatoes and nicely cutting them up. He was very friendly to us. He is studying computers and had a laptop. I wanted to connect to their wireless network but he did not know the WEP key for the network ...

Norwegian border. We get there after a couple of hours, because the road that we where planing to take was close after it did break down a long part of the road did slide down in the river. Now it is my turn to drive, the only one that have any experience of driving in snowstorm.

Today Joe, Erlend and I went for a bike trip. We drove a ways into an area with more woods, and parked near a lake at the trail head. The road was bumpy, with very little flat parts, but it wasn't too steep for the most part. I had trouble with certain parts of the road that were covered in deep gravel, and my breaks squealed every time I used them, but this just added to the fun of it all. After a fair ...

... while others throw soapy sponges at them. I took a turn as the clown and managed to get soapy water down my shirt somehow...which was a good way to cool off. I have forgiven Norway for the soggy welcome, as it's been nothing but sunshine since then. Ah, and today I had another first. I went to the grocery store by myself to buy bread for work. I managed to pick out the 8 loaves of bread that we needed without any trouble, but when i went to pay, the machine wouldn ...

Aktive Fredsreiser
I 1992 startet Helga Arntzen foreningen Hvite Busser til Auschwitz. Dette ble senere en Stiftelse. Formålet var å gi en effektiv vaksine mot nynazisme i Norge. I 1998 startet Helga Arntzen så Aktive Fredsreiser. I tillegg til arbeide mot nynazisme fokuserer Aktive Fredsreiser også på menneskerettigheter og fredsskapende prosesser. Aktive ...
