Mindre enn syv t-skjorter. Tre bukser. To par sko. En genser. Et skjørt. En bikini. Hvordan skal jeg egentlig klare meg? Nå er det mindre enn 48 timer til jeg drar og jeg kjenner at jeg er litt stresset. Jeg har nemlig ikke pakket. Det er ikke helt enkelt nemlig. En måned på språkskole, der jeg treffer andre, to måneder på barnehjem og tre måneders reising er ikke det letteste å komprimere ned i en sekk. Første måneden vil jeg jo helst være litt stilig - man må jo ikke se helt nerd ut selv om man skal reise. De to neste månedene bør jeg ha slitesterke og gode klær, som jeg samtidig ikke er redd for. Backpacking er jo en gang backpacking, men jeg skal jo tross alt mange steder på tre måneder og det ... read more

Blogg, snart avreise og reiserute! Jeg har laget blogg! Er veldig stolt av meg selv - og må takke Margrete hos Kilroy for ideen! :D Her vil dere kunne lese litt om hva som skjer med meg, og selv om jeg er veldig fan av e-post, så har jeg den unike muligheten til å publisere bilder her - det er jo greit! Har sett at det går ann å få varsel om oppdateringer - så snart jeg finner ut av det skal dere få lov til å gi lyd om dere vil ha slike! Tenk om dere gikk glipp av noe... fysj! :D Nå reiser jeg fra Bergen om knapt to døgn. Gruer meg og gleder meg om hverandre, har mye som må fikses, men stresser ikke - enda. For de som lurer, så er reiseruten ... read more

We rubbed the sleep out of our eyes at the Bergen train station, and immediately headed to the fish market port to catch a Ferry Boat to the Sogenfjord (Norway’s steepest and longest fjord). We took a nice long cruise up the coast of Bergen and back inland toward Voss on the Sogenfjord. Keith and I both slept for a little while, but Jill and Ben enjoyed the view the whole time. In addition to the beautiful fjords, we saw sheep, small towns on the banks, glacier capped mountains, and amazingly tall waterfalls. At one point on the cruise, we were supposed to change ferrys and the other ferry had forgotten it’s gangplank so they were going to have us jump across from one ferry to the other. Just as Jill was timidly about to attempt ... read more

Motorhome News from Europe 33 Norway 23rd August 2005 Travels along the big fjords to Bergen It was ‘Turn up the Wow-Meter’ time as we pulled on to narrow winding roads edging the steep-sided mountains cascading dramatically into the fjords, with Janice at the wheel. We were entering the spectacular deep- cut fjords for which this country is famous, and its fruit growing centre where cherries, raspberries, strawberries, apples and plums abound, where roses grow around cottage doors and fresh trees carpet the hillsides; horse chestnut, ash, hazel, lime, sycamore, elm, rowan bright with regal berries, and pine and spruce climb gracefully to the tree-line. Time to sample a few raspberries with sour cream for tea. There is a certain magic about the fjords of Norway without equal anywhere else in Europe. It is the magic ... read more

Motorhome News from Europe 32. Norway 17th August 05 Around about the middle: Stjordal, Trondheim, Roros, Oppdal, Doverfjell, Dombas, Rondane Park, Vagamo and Lom. The school holidays have come to an end here and fields of buttercups have been sacrificed to the hay barns for the long winter ahead. The sun now sets at night and the martins and swallows are heading south as we prepare to travel with them for our migration across the North Sea, from Norway's beautiful Bergen, to Shetland, way to the north of Scotland, on the 23rd August. But there is still much to see and do before we leave these shores. Our campsite host at Stjordal, the local farmer and entrepreneur, had many strings to his bow; a carbon copy of our good friend Roy, back home at Little Lodge ... read more

Hi everyone, I'm in Bergen, on the west coast of Norway at the moment. The weather is in the mild low 20s here and slightly overcast. This is in contrast to the last 2 weeks I've had in scandinavia where it's been sunny and high 20s. The midnight sun also means that not much sleep is to be had, as the sun sets at around 11, and is back up at around 3am :) Like a postcard that you've just received in the mail, my email is about things that happened a week ago in Stockholm. Enjoy :) Conversation I had with a fellow traveller in front of a fast food caravan: Amy: You know you're eating bits of Rudolph there? Me: Yeah, but who knew he'd be so tender and succulent.... Poor Amy is vegetarian, ... read more
