Arrival & Accommodations It was grey and rainy for most of the train trip from Stockholm so not too much to say about it. There was some obligatory pretty scenery, of course. Seemed typically Swedish ... Read more >

Waiting for something to happen...

Sun, 3 Aug 2008 | By kinemari | Views [284]

Now I`m in Mo i Rana, my home town, after more than a month of summer vacation. It`s a bit too much vacation, to be honest. I feel really lazy because I don`t have a summer job, plus I`m bored. So that`s why I`ve created this blog today, because I thought ... Read more >

An early morning that was definitely worth it. Today would have to have been my favourite day of the trip. After the early start we went for a drive up the craziest road on earth. The trolls pass. Home of the famous troll’s bridge made famous by the ... Read more >

What we learned through nature

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 | By whereiskai | Views [684]

On a rock close to the sea you place your tent. You feel so free. (and could not have done otherwise for all the swamp around you!) The dragonflies swirl and mate chasing food, observing you. The look and ask "Who are you?" The ... Read more >
