FREDRIKSTAD
I love those old factory halls and cranes.
WET DREAM LIST
Yes, my list might indeed deviate slightly from most lists. But I also keep track of everything and today I was able to cross something of my list. I’m not sure on which number in the list it was, but I can tell you it was a tricky one. I combined three different events under one subject.
First there were like a thousand other people in the middle of the little center at a ‘cosy’ flea market, like three ‘happy’ wedding ceremonies in front of a church and other historic buildings and the terraces were overloaded with even more ‘cheerful’ people. It was so overwhelming that I almost started to cry because I knew this subject on my wet dream list was really a hard one.
Now I’m considering to visit the beautiful ‘Gamlebyen’ again tomorrow. There’s a 79% chance of rain and again it may happen that I can cross something off again. I’m so nervous I hope I can sleep tonight.
4SM TRAVELGUIDE
I really need a holiday after all that traveling. But before I’m going back into sailing-mode I have some very important information to share with you.
Of course it is all carefully considered and in some cases further specification is omitted for reasons of safety and in the interest of the country!
Most dirty toilet: on one of the ferries, forgot which one, i think it was the second one on our fourth day. Found none toilet out of toiletpaper.
Polserbun: the best one we had at a gasstation near Narvik, we didn’t eat any bad ones.
Most clouds during flight: between Tromsø and Oslo.
Unfriendliest person: none any more unfriendly than we are used to @home.
Best looking oilrig: Haugesund.
Lookalike coffee: almost everywhere, but you get used to it.
Most birdpoo: Tromsø.
Cheapest place: that’s an easy one, nowhere.
Most rain: Moskenes, Lofoten.
Longest roadbuildingsite: near Gullesfjord.
Campers: way to much everywhere and the ‘allemannsretten’ should definitely be reconsidered.
Most sea weed at low tide: Vesteralen.
Best looking cemetary: Oslo.
I hope this information helps if you’re ever going to plan a trip to Norway and the same regions we visited. Please let me know if I forgot something or if you have other important questions.
TROMSØ
So yesterday we ended our little race around Senja, Vesterålen and Lofoten where we started it a couple of days ago, in Tromsø. Yes we drove a lot, in fact way too much to get a good impression of these islands. And beautiful it definitely is. There’s so much to see, so many different landscapes, mountains, fjords, woods, tunnels, little towns, ferry’s, waterfalls that you probably need more than a lifetime to explore it all.
I think we found our favorite, but to be sure we need to come back one day. With our 4wheelmachine in winter and with our beloved floating lady in spring. We just need to find some time.
