Sunday 24 February 2008 Back in Oslo we were all exhausted after the long drive so we opted for an easy yet delicious dinner of smuggled Swedish salmon and an early night. Monday 25 February 2008 We woke late in the morning to find that while we were away for the weekend, Spring had arrived in Oslo (photo). The snow had melted, the trees were budding, the sky was blue and the sun was shining. Despite the lovely weather, it unfortunately wasn’t a day to be basking in it. James was moving house so we needed to move out too. We [View Full Entry]

Friday 22 February 2008 With James’ car filled to the brim with ski gear and beer that had been chilled in the ‘fridge’ (photo), meaning that it had been put on the balcony to be snowed on overnight, we drove off into the mountains on our way to Hemsedal. The road was icy and increasingly snowy as we left Oslo and drove to higher altitudes. Light snow was falling and the landscape was just stunning (photos). As night fell we continued driving and the snow became increasingly heavier. With the headlights on, it looked like driving through the opening scene for [View Full Entry]

Det er lørdag ettermiddag og jeg sto opp for ikke så lenge siden. Sitter foran pc'en og prøver å finne et nytt sted å legge reisedagboka mi, valget faller på TravelBlog. Plutselig går det opp for meg at jeg faktisk reiser om bare noen dager. For på torsdag klokka 13:35 lander jeg på John F. Kennedy international airport i New York. Jeg har funnet to fantastiske websider med reisende som tilbyr sofaene sine til disposisjon for andre; CouchSurfing og Hospitality Club. Noe mer genialt skal man lete lenge etter. De [View Full Entry]

Monday 18 February 2008 As if it wasn’t bad enough that Flight Centre had issued our tickets later than promised, that their travel route advice was ridiculously uninformed, nor that the overcharged us a significant amount for taxes which took us a month to get refunded - only when we stepped onto our plane to Norway (photo), squeezed into our tiny seats and read the purchasable menu did we realise that our travel agent had booked us un a budget fight on ‘SAS Norge’ instead of ‘SAS’ - GGGGRRRR! At later examination we found that most of the remaining fli [View Full Entry]

Vekkeklokka ringer fire. Vi står opp og kommer oss av gårde på toget som går klokken 04.52 fra Asker stasjon. Togturen tar ca 1 time. Vi skynder oss inn for å sjekke inn hos British Airways. Der får vi beskjed om at det er noe galt med bagasjebåndet på terminal 4 på Heathrow og at vi derfor må finne en annen reiserute. Vi får beskjed om at vi kan velge en rute med Lufthansa som går via Frankfurt til Delhi, og lande ca 15 minutter før vår egentlige rute. Vi synes det høres greit ut, og takker ja. Etter et par [View Full Entry]

So this weekend was super fun. The international buddies took most of the international students to a resort called Fagerhøi. While waiting for the bus to come pick us up, we saw a car spin 180 degrees. Then it calmy turns back around and drives away. This was a car with a family in it and they acted as if it was normal. Then the bus comes... It slows down to stop but it didn't stop, it kept sliding a little bit. So the driver puts on the gas to move forward but then the front of the bes starts sliding [View Full Entry]

I believe that I am on travel blog number three now? two on xanga and one here… I guess that would make it four then. Anywho… On Monday a strange man walked into our flat. All of us were really confused as to why this older man was coming in. He was very friendly and apparently knew us. So he took off his boots and took a seat and started talking to us. Through out the whole time it was kinda awkward for us because we didn't really know who he was! But we cam to find that his name was [View Full Entry]

I left Pai Saturday, and went by bus to Chiang Mai then to Bangkok. In Bangkok I met Nina again, she had tried to get a ticket on the same bus all the way, but we ended in different minibuses. So I had company all the way to Bangkok - although we slept most of the way. At six in the morning we woke up when the bus stopped and somebody shouted “Last stop Bangkok! Get out!”. I had no idea where I was, but we were just 200 metres from Khao San road, actually where we were supposed to! I [View Full Entry]
