from rauland

so here i am again...

new group who i've been with since wednesday is lovely! so is my colleague, driver svein :)
on my day off in stockholm on tuesday my dear linda came to ' visit' or rather spend the day together with me there....we had a great time, needed to catch up on a lot of things so we just wandered around town all day talking :D

wednesday and thursday was still spent in stockholm, showed this group gamla stan and vasamuseet, nothing new for me haha!
friday we drove from stockholm to oslo and had a few stops on the way. at night after dinner i took the bus to town to meet another friend for some catching up, jiska! we had some cider downtown in a place called ' saras telt' lol!
saturday i showed the guests oesloe, including nasjonalgalleriet and after this we also went to the vigelandpark (lovely as always!) and oslo's ski jump holmenkollen (went up in the tower!). after this we drove to skien where svein and me spent the night in a sports bar watching the germany - portugal game together with some norwegian people. today it was telemark-canal time, which meant 2 hours on a boat going through a lot of sluises, pretty cool! in the afternoon we went to the heddal stavkirke, at which point it actually started to rain, first bad weather in more than 10 days for me!

we're now staying the ight in a hotel up on a mountain in rauland, weather still sucks...so i'd better get back to the final game in germany!

tomorrow we'll leave for stavanger, cruise on the lysefjord on tuesday!

p.s. of course the 91-year old is, in her own way as she is blind in one eye, one of the fittest in the group!

  2. If you come near Bergen, be sure to give a word before you come :)
    Lysefjorden is great, you should walk up to Prekestolen ;) If hope you only saw the good side of Oslo, there are some bad features of it, with all the addicts in the middle of town..

  3. @yvonne: the final game took too long! and i thought france really should have won, but zidane was being stupid in the end...oh well, it's just a game.
    take care dear!

    @bengt: heeej....how did you find this blog? :P no trip to bergen planned in my travelguide career, am afraid not until next year maybe...but i'll let you know then for sure!
    have not been up to preikestolen, would have loved too but taking the cruise is a safer idea with 25 people off which most are 65+ ;)
    hoping to see some really good sides of oslo on thursday night when i return! hade!!!
