Oslo; first impressions. Green, calm and clean. It's so nice to have arrived at the Oslo airport which smelled of popcorn and looked like a stylish entrance to a sauna, all glass and wood and light. This was a contrast after the awful mayhem of ... Read more >

After leaving the plush comfort of Kent and Leslie's apartment in Amsterdam, Devin and I boarded a night train headed for Copenhagen, Denmark. School just let out for the summer in Europe, so all the trains were pretty much booked solid. We ended up ... Read more >

Out and About in Oslo

Sun, 19 Jun 2011 | By drmitch | Views [1123]

I had to get up stupidly early to catch the 6 hour train to Oslo, where I walked the 15 minutes to Anker Hostel . Once again it is more of a “hotel” feel than a hostel, with a large waiting room, no kitchen but a hotplate in the dorm room, and very ... Read more >

A few of my plans have had to change as some of the roads are still closed because of snow. Above 2000ft. winter is reluctant to let spring in. Yesterday I spent about 2 hours above 3000ft. in driving snow! I was unable to get near to either Priests ... Read more >

Day 142: No way

Mon, 6 Jun 2016 | By excellentadventure | Views [344]

Made sure we woke early to be on top deck when coming in to Oslo. Our moving hotel took about 15 hours but it was smooth sailing and at times we forgot we were actually on a boat. Thought we might see orcas or whales. We unfortunately didn't but we did ... Read more >

I’m running. Fast as I can. My feet are barely glimpsing the edges of rocks before I push off, propelling through the air towards the next stone. Rock. Ledge. JUMP. Nice! Left. Right. Faster, he’s catching on you. This is dangerous, careless; this is ... Read more >
