Når man skal sånn på tur langt hjemmefra, er det jo viktig å stille godt forberedt. Jan Sølve har gått til innkjøp av Lonely Planet Norway, i tillegg til en litt rar bok som heter "Alt du bør vite om Norge". Lonely Planet er vel kjent for de fleste, mens den andre boka har små artikler om interessante ting på forskjellige steder. Det som gjør den litt rar, er at de har valgt å sortere artiklene alfabetisk. Dessverre er det er jo ikke akkurat slik at når man er ute og kjører dukker severdighetene opp i alfabetisk rekkefølge... I tillegg har [View Full Entry]

Planen for turen er omtrent som følger: Vi reiser til Trondheim lørdag 19. juli. Der overnatter vi hos søsteren min før vi på søndagen begynner på den "egentlige" turen nordover. Vi kjører da langs Riksvei 17 (den såkalte kystriksveien, se www.rv17.no for mer info) opp mot Bodø. Hvor lang tid vi kommer til å bruke på det er noe uklart, men fra "kjentfolk" har vi fått antydninger på i underkant av en uke. Dersom vi ser at vi begynner å få dårlig tid, kan vi eventuelt skjære over til E6'en, og rase oppover den i steden. Ikke så fint, men mye [View Full Entry]

Hi All! Well, what a past 2 weeks it's been I can tell you! Firstly let me apologise for not being in contact any sooner as the internet on the ship went down as we were travelling around Norway. Firstly, I highly recommend a visit to Norway. We're not talking sunbathing on the beach or party-nights but the breathtaking scenery is sure to move the most hardened of people. A glacier in one of the Fjords was an awesome sight. We cruised through this narrow passage-way slowly for the best part of the day, to take in the sights; clear blue [View Full Entry]

Photos from the previous blog are up. I've made it to my end destination... well I'm at the hostel tonight 5km from Svolvær where I neet to be at 9.30am tomorrow to catch my bus to Narvik. Lofoten has of course been amazing despite a cruel northerly wind. Full report to come, here's some photos... Right here goes: So I eventually got to Lofoten from Bodo at 6am after the 1.45am ferry was delayed and delayed until about 3am. The ticket collector at Bodo was looking a bit stressed - apparently the ship was refueling - we could see it across [View Full Entry]

Well okay I'm not quite in Bodø just yet. Got about 120km to go - so I'll be there tonight. From there, it's a 4 hour ferry to Moskenes in Lofoten and conveniently there are ferries leaving at midnight so I'll catch the overnighter (except of course there is no night up here as I've already crossed the Arctic Circle) and have my last two days cycling on Lofoten. I've already worked out that if I get to Svolvær there's a bus to Narvik on the morning of the 8th which makes my train connection to Stockholm with an hour and [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone, well, I'm now in Tysfjord past the Arctic circle. In the last couple of days though, it has mainly been scenic driving, which I have lots of photo's but unfortunatly I can't upload them on this computer, will I'll try next time. I'm really excited though, with our Viking Olympics, we are winning at the moment, so far we have won every activity. 2 nights ago we had to play soccer, it was so much fun, our driver did a nudie run which was quite funny, I couldn't get a photo of it though because I was playing, so [View Full Entry]

Wow, look at me, 3 days in a row I have updated my blog, I'm so good! lol. Well, today we went over Trolls Passage, wow that was beautiful, snow was everywhere, made it look really nice. We visited Geigranger Fjiord and caught a ferry for an hour to another fjiord, but I can't remember the name of that. Took lots of photos so check them out, not much else happened today, I might leave it for a few days so I have more to write next time. Off to Trondhiem (most religious city in Norway) then going straight to HELL! [View Full Entry]

Well, Oslo is definitely a beautiful city. It is really relaxing, rather small, and extremely picturesque. The air seems a little bit cleaner up that end of Europe, and you feel healthier just walking around with all the extremely fit norwegians! Everyone seems to be glammed up at all moments, their outfits relaxed, but accessorised perfectly, with sunglasses, the big bag, earings, and necklace. It's really a beautiful peoples city to be honest. :P My sister who lives in Oslo, had her wedding this past weekend. It was a beautiful wedding. Complete with the fairytale royal wedding dress [View Full Entry]

Anreise nach Andenes Ich bin seit gestern Abend in Andenes, nach 4 Tagen recht chaotischen Reisens; erst die Fahrt nach Kiel, ohne viel Schlaf von, 4 Freunden begleitet, da war das wegfahern noch so fern. Dann die Verabschiedung auf dem schiff, und vorher von allen in Greifswald, lassen mich dann so langsam realisieren, dass es erst mal weg geht. das Schiff ist unlagublich luxeriös, ich komme mir vor, wie im falschen fFlm. Traumschiff lässt grüssen. entsprechend die Leute darauf. das Schiff iste die grösste Fähre Europas und wird va. als Minikreuzfahrt gebucht. also so richtig mit sh [View Full Entry]

Ahoy there from the MS Vesteralen! The Fjords are absolutely stunning, we've been stopping off at lots of little villages (as well as some bigger ones) and they are all a bit, well…..small and wooden, I guess is the best way to put it, lots of timber buildings and everywhere is soooo tiny, even at the ports you can walk across the centre of town in 15 minutes! On Thursday we took an excursion to Gerainger Fjord and Ǻlesund, which meant boarding a smaller boat that took us to the shore. Gerainger fjord was beautiful, although it was raining all day, [View Full Entry]
