To wake up only 4 hrs later, in a hurry to get downstairs and have breakfast before it ends at 11am, just to find out that on Mondays breakfast ends at 10am… Isn’t the best way to start the journey!!! Anyway, we went out, the three of us, with the intention of visiting the Arctic Cathedral …

It's really strange to watch the tower go down today but also great to be a witness to history in making.  They told us the crowd, a couple of hundred people, the history of Hollmenkollen. Known people in the skiing industry showed up as well as one of Norways best female skiiers if …

A bunch of photos around my city..This is under construction so more to come;)

It was Saturday morning and the alarm went off around 06:45 am. It takes a while to drive out to Lillehammer and since i had to get home later its better to get up bright and early.I got in my car at 08:10 am and texted Liz to let her know i was on my way. The drive there was fine and i made sure i…

I have had loads of people ask me for information about where I booked things / how much things were so I thought I would add another entry with all the information on! I flew direct from Stansted to Tromsø with Norwegian Air Shuttle - http://www.norwegian.no/sw7127.asp the flights were…

I'm in Oslo now, if you're just wondering where on earth I am. Don´t care? Fine. I just read a message from someone asking me if I'm already in outerspace. Seriously dude, wtf? Am I that cool now? I admit it was sad leaving Ireland, I had so much fun and my host Nina was really nice, kind-hearted…

        Our small TB meet up has come to its end.       Milan has been in Trondheim since August 30, and tomorrow he is leaving town.     We have met a few times during his stay in Trondheim.     September 3 I invited him for din…

The holidays were nearly over. Time is flying by too fast. After breakfast we headed forward to our final destination in Norway - Fredrikstad. I love the old fortress and most of the time it's my first and last destination.The day was pretty unspectacular. Everything went well with driving and we s…

I just booked a sailing adventure with Seaduced by Belize on Friday October 30.  Wendy told me that she had booked with them and that she'd been sailing with them on her previous trips to Belize. We're going to Hol Chan Marine Reserve, where our guides will show you around the spectacular s…

    My cell phone rang to day and it was my beautiful Travbuddy friend Mehmet (TB name dieforu) calling me.     I had the opportunity to get to know Mehmet last summer when he visited me in Trondheim.  We spend a day together in my hometown.  I guided him through…

  Before going to Oslo I received a message from Gudny asking me if I had time to meet her.   It thought it was a great idea to meet her and was looking forward to meet the one that had made the nice Oslo blog. We changed cell phone nr and I promised to message her when I arrived O…

It wasn't really sunny today, but almost and the temps were pretty good, so I decided to head down to the lake. Grabbed my cam and my cat and took off. Up until about a week ago, the entire lake was covered in ice, and now it's breaking up and dissapearing... Back in my "younger" days, we used to…

Bergen is great in the summer ! nothing like having an outdoor beer at bryggen whilst the sun is setting behind the citadel castle ( Rosenkranz tower). Bryggen is a creation of wooden houses dating back as far as the 16th. century when german traders settled in our pretty town.It`s on the UNESCO li…

  Celebrating the Norwegian Constitution Day is for me a very nice tradition. Although I have to go out of bed at 0545 am I`m looking forward to the day.  I`ll be dressed in my uniform, marching and playing my saxophone most of the day.      In the evening I`ll change …

The area i was staying at had a lot of houses and one store with some odd prices. You could buy a packed bag with 3 chocolate buns for 20 Norwegian kroners while 1 would cost you 6 kroners . So that means if you buy 3 separate chocolate buns and put them in a bag yourself it will be cheaper and yes…
