Norway- Oslo and Bergen May 07
Changing of the guard at Oslo's residence of the King, Det Kongelige Slott. Catching the Ferry to the Bygdoy Pennisula and visiting the three viking ships recovered from Oslofjord. Boarding the metro into the hills and to the Helmenkollen ski jump. Then tracing the history of Norwegian skiing and polar exploration in the worlds oldest ski museum.
Norway in a nutshell, Oslo to Bergen taking in the Flam railway and sailing the fjords. Our watered down version took us mid way along the railway to be picked up by bus and driven to Bergen via frozen lakes, stunning fjords, numerous ski fields and countless tunnels. Bergen 276 days of rain a year. A Wellington type cable car up Mt Floyen. The wooden buildings of Bryggen Wharf. Too much duty free vodka, noodles for dinner followed by €7 beers.
Valencia June 07
Nutella and chocolate filled pastries, saggy boobs on the beach. Living it up in the Estrella Damn bar at the Americas Cup village. Watching Team NZ taking Prada down in the Challenger Finals. The disapointing Valencian Oranges and Paella. The impressive Dolphin Show at L'Oceanographic not to mention the Beluga Whales. Contempary Spainish architecture at the City of Arts and Sciences complex. Running in the old river bed of the diverted River Turia, now Jardine del Turia . Another Bell Tower calf work out.
