Glaciers in Norway Very pleased with myself as I have managed to put some photos on the gallery. Visit photo gallery for more photos. I have discovered that the library in Arhus has the most wonderful internet access. If you come here be sure to get all your computer stuff done! I have decided to […]

Raining hard

Monday, August 14th, 2006

Back again so soon! I have access to free internet here at the Cab Inn Hotel opposite the Cathedral in Arhus. It is raining hard and looks like I won’t get a chance to swim in the sea unless I want to get very wet. I wanted to give the web address for the bike […]

Refreshed by Arhus

Sunday, August 13th, 2006

We have been having a lovely time in Arhus despite the rain. There is a wonderful bike scheme here, you deposit 20Dkr in the bike and release it from its stand ans reclaim your money when you return the bike to one of the many convenient stands located around the city. We have been cycling […]

Tired of travelling

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

Since Stavenger we’ve been travelling nonstop. We got the night train to Oslo and spent a few minutes there – just long enought to check out the outside of an anarchist cafe – all grafiti and oil barrels and drink some tea before hoping on a train to Voss. The train ride was supposed to […]

Staying in Stavenger

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

Am in Stavenger at the moment staying with a friend of Keyvan’s. Lovely people, lovely house and wonderfully cute baby. Staverger is quite nice – there is a nice centre with cathedral and lake complete with fountain and old Stavenger is really picture postcard stuff – all old white houses, roses and cobbled streets. Am […]

Beautiful Bergen

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

Bergen is really quite nice. It’s a university town, with hills and fijords surrounding it and a general relaxed atmosphere. Seems like a perfect place to live! We’ve come across anti-war posters and some sort of anarchist cafe that doesn’t seem to be running but that gives us hope that there might be interesting politics […]

From dirty Denmark to Nordic cleanliness

Monday, August 7th, 2006

I’m writing from Bergen in Norway. It’s a lovely little town though the walk from the ferry to the centre was a triffle depressing. We’re staying in private rooms high above the city on the hill. The view of Bergan is wonderful from the front doorstep. Copenhagen was a bit of a disappointment – the […]

From pink cake to the Reeperbahn

Friday, August 4th, 2006

After pink cake and raw fish inAmsterdam, we caught a train to Utrecht, where it rained and we failed to see the oldest coffee shop, the red light district or the wonderful hostel that Keyvan stayed in last time he was there which provided him with bed, free food and internet access all for 16 […]

I am sterdam

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006

So far so good. Norwich – Harwich – Amsterdam. Amsterdam is lovely. Slightly medieval in its feel, lots of tables and chairs to sit on and watch the world go by and of course the liberal attitude made reality that it is so famous for. Would recommend the journey on the train and ferry as […]
