Here's the thing, I had written an especially amusing blog about my recent trip to Norway. Unfortunately, the servers went down, I lost my scribblings, and I'm unable to muster the effort to start from scratch. This being the case, you'll have to settle for a number of photos, an intinerary, and this link detailing a recent visit by Morten Harket to some kind of wind farm:

April 16th 2009 - s seaman: trip to Norway
I loved looking at your pictures as I lived in Norway for 6 years.I have been to the summit of a lot of their high peaks and beseggen is one of them. My family and I made the 9 hour trek with our family dog. She loved it but was the most tired I have ever seen her. She is a Norwegian flat coated retriever. Born and Bred in Stavanger. Looking at the pictures made me homesick for that beautiful country.
Thanks for sharing.

Tired and a bit scared.
Unbelievably, some of the locals had actually brought along their dogs for this 'stroll'.
A picnic outside Morten's house.
Some Japanese people took photos of us here (obviously thinking we were famous).
Grill Pills.
A lager designed specifically for BBQs. Marvellous. A nice alternative to getting your mouth around an Arse.
More underground shots.
Two relaxed looking Norwegians at the bottom of the disturbingly named 'Death Spiral'. Many Norwegians are in fact born underground.
Very cold water. But very fun.
Kind of like being in a giant and very cold flushing toilet (but with drinkable water).
Arild about to take the plunge.
The infamous Sjåk-wave. Jump in, hold breath, immerge 300 metres down stream 2 seconds later.
