As good as the weather had been during the first week of our trip, as bad it would get from now on for the next couple of days. But first there was still hoping that the sun would break through the thick clouds when we started the hike from the parking at the foot of the Preikestolen where they actually charge you a parking fee of NOK60 which seems to be a full-on rip-off. But the nicely prepared track leading through swampy land and nice plateaus makes up for it in the end | See the pictures Continue reading
Tour de Scandinavie, stage 3: Oslo – Kristiansand – Stavanger
So, it’s been a while since I last wrote about the trip. Not that nothing has been happening or we started arguing or so – but somehow I just haven’t had the motivation and time for more than uploading photos … and actually in Stavanger I lost about half an hour of work because my computer crashed right before submitting the post. But now I’ll try to make up for it and bring you up to date | See the pictures Continue reading

Getting sunburnt in Oslo
Tuesday morning we took the train from Vestby to Oslo to avoid tricky parking and inner-city driving and the toll you always have to pay when you enter bigger cities in Norway – quite annoying and sometimes difficult (more on that later).

Tour de Scandinavie, stage 2: Lund – Göteborg – Vestby
After two nights of, well, not too much sleep we finally left Lund on Saturday afternoon. Jörg had eventually packed his stuff and cleaned his room, I had survived an endless hour in the kitchen of the student residence (but that’s a different story) and so nothing could go wrong anymore | See the pictures Continue reading

Dubai stop-over
5am, Dubai airport. Temperature: 32 degrees!!! Too hot to move actually. Cold water in the shower?? Haha, would be nice … so it has to be a hot shower. Then a little nap, during the flight I couldn’t get much sleep. This time I wasn’t lucky to get a whole row for myself. And the very nice but pretty loquacious Greek-Australian couple next to me didn’t help either … Continue reading
What Calvin and Hobbes have to say
Calvin : “I think we have got enough information now, don’t you?”
Hobbes : “All we have is one ‘fact’ that you made up.”
Calvin : “That’s plenty. By the time we add an introduction, a few illustrations and a conclusion, it’ll look like a graduate thesis.”
