When we were out in the woods today with Fenris the dog we knew there would be a lot more people then us with a dog there. Fenris is quite a big dog as you can tell from the photo's and isn't always an easy guy to go for a walk with when you meet other dogs. Today that happened AGAIN lol.... While…

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."

When i woke up this morning i looked outside thinking i would probably stay inside all day long. After drinking my tea, which is something i do every morning, i got off my sore glutes and hit the shower. All of a sudden i got this urge to go outside and called my friend Lil who lives downtown Oslo.…

          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…

My friend Noah went on foreign exchange when he was in High School to experience another culture.  Now you would think he would have gone to a Spanish speaking country as he speaks Spanish fluently, but you would be wrong.  Noah is a man of mystery and was looking for more of a challenge.…

For me this tour started last year, when I learned that Bon Jovi would come to Norway for the first time in ages. A friend of mine, who's possibly an even bigger BJ fan then I am called me and said she wanted to sign up for a membership in the Backstage with Bon Jovi fanclub, so that she could get …

    Monday morning 8am. Just about to wake up and start my day. Had planned to meet Gudny in Oslo and walk along the Aker river. Just had some stuff to take care of before I could leave. At 9.30 was on my way. It was a beautiful morning and the day looked very promising indeed. I go…

Another early getting up in the morning since we wanted to do some sightseeing in Oslo. Klaus is fond of the viking's history so we visited the Viking Ship Museum at first. Oslo is chaotic to drive. Road works everywhere around the city and I was happy that my navigation system found the way to the…

In 1993 my cousin and I visited Norway. We drove to the Northern Cape first. Then we headed South again until we reached Cape Lindesnes, the southernmost point of Norway. Took us 5 weeks.

Another day trip thanks to the cheap 1p each way sale of Europe's favorite no-frills airlne. After an early start of getting up at 3.45am and driving through the country lanes on a wet and windy night through eastern Hertfordshire, boarding the plane, having a tea and crossisant for an early breakf…

English version can be found below! We konden het redelijk rustig aan doen vandaag maar toch hadden we de wekker op 7.00 uur gezet. Een half uur later zaten we aan het ontbijt en weer iets meer dan een half uur later gingen we weer op pad. Het beloofde vandaag weer schitterend weer te worden en d…

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 …

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 …
