          My twin sister Siri, who is living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the last 3 years, is in Oslo celebrating Easter.  She has made it a habit to go back to Norway for Easter.  She loves skiing and as we all know the skiing conditions is not the best in Malaysia.     I will be travelling to Cuba via Oslo and Paris.  I decided to have some days with Siri in Oslo.  I haven’t seen here since I visited her in KL in...

8am Thursday morning.. a noise in the distance. What the h*** is that noise? Oh... darn, it's my cellphone. I jumped out of bed, still in a "coma" , answer the phone and says; hello in this typical still-in-your-sleep voice. lol...  It was Gudny and she was on her way here. This was the day it really was a good thing she live's about 2 hours drive from me... I sure needed the time to wake up and get ready. ;o) She called again when she was getting closer, and we talked till she was to t...

Driving Trondheim - Oslo by bus is a 550 km tour through beautiful landscape.  Leaving Trondheim at 8.00 pm we hope to be in Oslo 4.00 am. We had nice wether driving south, passing Dovre we hoped to see musk.  I have seen musk once going by train Trondheim - oslo, but not this time. We had lunch at The Sinclair Inn.  The place is named after the Captain Georg Sinclair in the Schottish Expeditionary Fources who was annihilated with the rest of his men in a flerce of Kringen 2...

Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living. Oslo is really a wonderful city, with wonderful people living there. ...I left the city with one promise on it..."I´ll come back."

        This weekend one of my cousins who are living in Oslo has been visiting Trondheim.  The weather has bee nice so we have spend most of the time outdoor.     Ok outdoor and outdoor, there has been some indoor activity to; shopping.  But as we have been avoiding the big shopping centres we have been outdoor most of the time walking from one small fashion shop to another.      We have a cousin Eva living in Stjørd...

Pics from my hometown. I enjoy a good hike in the nearby woods. And sometimes I remember to take my camera with me....

It was a wonderful day. Sunny and quite warm. And just like we did in the winter, we had to climb trees and hang from them. Such kids we are.. lol But the area are so great for hiking and for people like us, haveing some childish fun. Gudny went skinnydipping, while I just waded a little. i had a cold, so in order not to make it worse, I had to go easy. But I have to say I thought beforehand that the water would be colder than it was. It wasn't that bad... held maybe around 13-15 c.  As...

This was one windy and rainy weekend but fun never the less.... Was hopeing for great weather where the possibilities for northern light would show upon the sky. Unfortunatly the weather was so bad that all i could see was the hair in my face from the crazy wind:) On top that i had the most runny nose ever while being outside and the few times i had to sneeze my eye filled up with liquid and it looked like i was crying and feeling really upsett lol.....So the only northern light i got to see ...

Looking through Marit’s (tvillingmarit) pictures a while back I ran across a great shot of two knights on horseback ready for a tournament joust.  I knew I had spotted a shot that I could “fix”.  There was just something that told me that the first guy had an advantage over the rest of the field.  But it took me a little work to bring that advantage out into view.  Finally, I realized that the red and gold coverings on the horse actually continued on down and were pi...

First off, this entry, or any of my entries to come, are probably not going to be of any use to anyone on here, but rather a place I found in cyberspace where I can attempt to regurgitate my experiences in some sort of tangible way, if that's the right word I'm looking for.  Anyway, I'm not real keen on doing a lot of "touristy" things, although I do have my fair share of them.  I'm more the type to go somewhere and get to know a city by either having a friend who lives there...

It's only a week left.  One single week.  7 days!  I can't believe it.  I don't even think I understand what's going on.  Our first stop is India.  Flying into New Delhi, before we're planning on visiting Agra, Jaipur, Ranthambore, Goa and Varanasi. These past weeks I've been focusing a lot on what to pack, and what not.  When I went to South Africa last year, I brought way too much clothes.  I didn't even use half of it.  I'm allowed to bring 2...

A few summer/July 4th pics..

    Wine tasting     Together with some friends I started a private wine tasting club in June 2000.  Members have come and gone, I am the only one who is left since 2000.  Since 2005 we are the same 7 people meeting four times a year for wine tasting and having a nice meal.     In June we went to Netherlands and had a very nice wine tasting evening in an old wine cellar in Delft.     In the end of November we are going to Riga for w...

It was late night when we arrived to some place near of Oslo. We really needed petrol in car, but only gas station which we had seen for a long time was closed and cards didn't work in automat. We weren't enough close to Oslo so that we could drive there and try to get petrol from somewhere else so we decided to stay rest of the night on that gas station parking place. At the morning when it opened we finally got petrol and could continue driving. It still took some time to us to ge...
