Sunnmøre Jul, Oslow temperatures
14.02.2010
It's been a while since I put some photos up and a lot has happened in the last couple of months too. Probably the most important development is that I actually have a proper job now. It was good to...
Oslo life: an update
31.10.2009
It's been a while since I put some photos up of life in Oslo. There hasn't been a lot going on actually, except for a kick-arse autumn that refuses to descend into rainy crap weather and instead...
Our Neighbourhood
24.08.2009
The area where we're living is just up from a fairly well known part of Oslo, Grunerløkka. Yesterday we went for a quick walk through the area and I took some photos for some visual documentation....
Two months in Sykkylven
27.07.2009
After a couple of weeks in Olso when we first arrived, we travelled back to Sunny Sunnmøre and the town of Sykkylven. This is the town where Rannveig grew up. The region of Sunnmøre is known in...
Scouting brewery locations
25.07.2009
So one day we'll get a brewery happening. It's all part of the grand plan and this country is in dire need of it. All the beers are boring and not particularly good. There's one good brewery from...
Climbing Slogen
17.07.2009
Reidar and Angela, who the Australian crew would know or have most likely met, came to visit us during our time in Sykkylven. So we decided to climb a mountain. There are so many in the area and so...
Grimstad cabin and Risør
25.06.2009
After the midsummer festivities, we spent a couple of days at Reidar's family's cabin, about 40 minutes inland of Grimstad. It was extremely quiet there.. except for the thrice daily trains that flew...
Sankthansaften in Grimstad
23.06.2009
Grimstad is about four hours south of Oslo down the west coast of the Oslo fjord, and it's the home town of Reidar. It's also the hometown of Thor Hushovd—2009 Tour de France green jersey winner, for...
Oslo in a suitcase
16.06.2009
After a week of living in hotels, hostels, airports and planes, we finally landed in Oslo. And it was certainly quite different to how I remember it. For starters, it was the first time I'd seen...
New Years Eve at Alnes
31.12.2005
A quiet New Years Eve celebration on a small island near the town of Ålesund in Møre and Romsdal. Suitably, the small fishing town was equally sleepy until 2350hr (they all use 24 hour...
Sykkylven, Norway
24.12.2005
Staying with Rani's family in Sykkylven over christmas and New Year period. (Actually christmas goes for 13 days. It's epic.) Speaking of epic, check out the scenery.
Oslo, Norway
19.12.2005
I came to Oslo a while back now, and I'm here again now.. so I guess this one is ongoing. It's a deceptively small capital where everyone I have met seems to be on television.
