Norway Travel Blogs - Page 8

Wow I think I'd better update this blog since it's featured on Travbuddy today! :-)This February I went to Oslo for a couple of days to visit some Norwegian friends of mine. As a matter of fact I can advise everyone to find some Norwegian friends because Norway is an insanely expensive country, so …

Bodø town where i live since 1985

So with our random flights to Norway, we were all set for a savage weekend away drinking and skiing, not to mention drunk skiing! Imagine my surprise when I found out that my ski's would be worthless in the snowless Norwegian summer, so disappointed but at least it was raining back home so it was …

What can i say we stared early morning to beat the rush out of town. I went to pick up Haakon who lives in Oslo just like me so we could drive out to our partner in touring crime. We've spoken a few weeks about taking a walk up there since the boys were looking to loose some weight. So were were d…

Just a few pictures from around the area i moved to in end of March:)

I decided to go to Oslo, Norway to visit a friend since I had some time off! I've never really heard anything great about it before but I'm always up for trying something new so I thought why not? I was off on March 1/07. I had to stop over in London and then take a two hour flight to Oslo. I start…

in the Summer of 2005 I did a great canoeing tour through Sweden and Norway together with my family. It was amazing and defenitly worth to show some pictures!

So I rolled into Oslo smack dab in the middle of the morning commute. It reminded me of Seattle on certain days. Water restricts the options for alternate routes and…well I had no idea where I was so it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. I had been trading text messages with Gudny who lives a bit n…

It is based in Bergen, Norway and contracted out for various purposes, including serving as a school ship for the Royal Norwegian Navy (using RNoN's prefix "KNM", Eng…

I'm not sure what was wrong with us this day.  Maybe we were tired from staying up late to watch a bad movie or maybe we were contemplating our 5am wakeup call that would occur in a few days, but we slept til about 11:30!  We woke up to a wonderful breakfast prepared by a magnificent host…

Sun at night during the trip from Rovaniemi-Ballangen-Lofoten-Tromso-Nordkapp

My niece and nephew have been ready for this trip since I told them we`re going. Me on the other hand, have been so busy getting other stuff in order I haven`t even begun to think about what to pack except for my camera. Hehe... Oh well, packing for 4 days should be a breeze though and I`ll do it o…

I’ve always thought that flying into Ålesund must be one of the most terrifying experiences for anyone afraid of flying. I love it, it’s my favourite so far.The plane comes in over the islands flying quite low, and it looks as you're about to crash into a mountain, when it suddenly starts tu…

St. Hallvard is the patron saint of Oslo.  He allegedly died attempting to protect a woman wrongly accused of theft.  He is now revered today as a martyr who died in defense of innocence and thus best embodies the spirit of chivalry.Ironically, since I have arrived in the Scandinavian ter…

This is a place out in no mans land and i must admit i would never have gone here if it wasn't for my daughter living here for a short time. You have to drive from Trondheim's airport out here and that takes 45 min in it self and the first time coming here it seems like the road is never ending...:…
