When I typed in Kristiansand into the TomTom on departing Bergen at 1015 it reckoned my arrival time would be 1930. Well cheery. It's only 500km but you have to account for the ferry crossings around Bergen and Stavanger and the fact that there is no Norwegian translation for dual carriageway let alone Motorway. Still I figured I could http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Norway/S-rlandet/Kristiansand/blog-322095.html A big hello from Norway after 3 weeks I finally reached what was to be the start of my cycle tripI just caught two ferries in the last 3 days. One from Gothenburg Sweden to Denmark and the other from Denmark to Kristiansand Norway. But just in case you were thinking that's a bit of a cheat seeing as I'm supposed to be cycling all the way well I took in a couple of detours one to the very t http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Norway/S-rlandet/Kristiansand/blog-285731.html N er det bare 1 vaksine og 1 uke igjen til jeg reiser.

Tenkte jeg bare skulle legge til denne lille teksten for se om folk mottar epost nr jeg lager et nytt innlegg http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Norway/S-rlandet/Kristiansand/blog-210360.html It's been about 4 days since I last had the pleasure of having internet It's amazing how dependent we are on internet now and there is a certain gladness you have when the internet place is open when you venture back into the city. I spent my last 4 days in the area of Norway in which my family lived and immigrated to North America from. The farm in which they lived and worked is near a haml http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Norway/S-rlandet/Kristiansand/blog-181506.html The most common phrase that I do say while I'm here is in the title. Translated it means I am from Canada. Do you speak English The Canada thing is important bc americans are a little iffy up here as well. are there any places in the world for an American to travel anymore Anyway like I said before they all generally speak english so that usually works. Last night I thought I would http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Norway/S-rlandet/Kristiansand/blog-180035.html I've made it to Norway and the experience of getting here is something I'll remember. First the keys on the keyboard are not THAT different...however i've caught myself having to look for certain keys since they are not where they SHOULD be The day outside here in Kristiansand is quite overcast it's not bad out however it is a little nippy.

I'm here in Kristiansand about as far south in Norway as you can get. The boat trip over from Newcastle was easy sitting in a bar watching a band play whilst the North Sea passed by outside. I have a feeling it might be one of the easier journeys of the trip The North Sea was as calm as a mill pond the whole way and in the distance yo http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Norway/S-rlandet/Kristiansand/blog-66489.html
