Well, this will be nice and quick at least. We came up with a new travel loop to head south through western denamrk, back through germany then loop back through a bit of eastern europe and up to finland then beck across to sweeden for DANCE CAMP!! So we started doing taht from here. We basically went for a run, found out waht the strange metal devices were in park...frizbee golf. Other than that we booked a boat to denmark and left lol.. Nice and quick lol. enjoy, e-love for all, Norkalas Girant... read more

Side note first. Looks like my pictures didnt load too well for the published thing, so just click on one and you can get to them easily. The train ride from Oslo to Bergen is nothing short of stunning. From the deepest green trees up to the highest glacier in Europe it is really really really good looking. Like a faceless infinitely headed serpent however, the lightless entity we had pitted ourselves against sent one of its most powerful minions against us! He took the form of a man, though was unable to fully disguise the filth lurking within. We took warey note of thick oil pasting his shoulder length hair to his neck and the arrogant sneer twisting his mouth. We had no chance. I can only assume this minion of the evil was not ... read more

Hey hey, So I have not been a good blogman of late have I? Its not my fault I swear!! Internet in Britland and Norland is apparently hard to find and v expensive sooooooo whatever. To the ends of keeping things real and fresh though I have combined the rest of our english adventures into this single super special king prawn chilli chicken ramen gang panang kebab pasta risotto steak sandwich meal deal. First up after Londeron we headed south to Brighton. Londond sucks. Brighton was really nice and simply walking down the street was like bathing in some camomile tea while drinking some of the tea while you bathe in it. This is accounting for the 20 kilo odd that I had strapped to my back and the compressive spin as a result. But it ... read more

Hamburg is and or was apparently a massive port trading city which made its wealth via ocean trade down along the elbe. Originally founded by christians, building a fort called The Hammerburg, which was intened to convert the Vikings to christianity..lol, good luck =P. The vikings kinda liked it but instead burnt down the castle 9 times lol. Other than that hamburg got pounded in WW2 and had a massive fire..otherwise it is just a lovely town nestled against a massive lake and the river elbe. Dinner first night as german as it gets. A guy dressed up as a sailer singing german swaying songs, intermixed with bouts of ein prosit, then jumping to german folkised version of all your faviourite hits like sex bomb. It was hilarious. It was just what we were looking for ... read more

Hmm, ill keep this one brief methinkgs. We arrived late at night on the train fresh from the loving embrashce of the Colonel and went to bed. The hostels we now book we seem to base so off its proximaty too the hauptbhanhof (main station remember?). This makes it alot easier to get there with our complete lack of german public transport. The major site to see in Cologne is the church. It is a WTF huuuuuge gothic church...took 632 years to build lol and is a fricking amaying building now. Impossible to photograph inside of like a 1km range, which didnt stop me from trying but yeeeah. I had a swing dance hook up here so we went along....to realise that i cant actually remember how to lindy hop and that anyone who would teach ... read more
