I ended up in Lillehammer (1994 Olympics) and although my personal goal not will be to compete in the next Olympics, I am planning to go to China (see also clock below at this page), I stayed almost 500 meters from the Olympic sky ramp.
From Lillehammer I drove to Hamar to see the Olympic ice-skating arena which is actually built in a turn around Viking ship and is rather nice. In the winter it should be even nice …
Today I am visiting Oslo and already had a Fjord tour and visited the Nobel Peace Center with all Nobel price winners listed.
Today it is a beautiful day and I think Oslo is one the most beautiful cities I have ever seen, the scenery is breathtaking. I will not stay to long though, because I have to travel a long way and found out the average speed is rather low. Next stop Trondheim …?
From Skärhamn I drove along the Swedish Riviera to near Oslo.
At the border I had to stop and a rather nice blond Norwegian custom officer asked me many questions, checked the car for liquor (which is extremely expensive in Norway) and I even had to show some hotel reservations I made. I think it was their only special time of the day as there were only Norwegians and Swedish passing by.
Raining again ….
Going up north to Göteborg a rather nice city, have been there once before and ended in Skärhamn where I stayed in the same hotel again and had a perfect dinner again at.
I saw Brasil win from Ghana and although Skärhamn is rather small 10 Brasilian ladies were in the bar.
I started with visiting the Viking Shippet museum and the Dom where many late Danish Queens and King rest …
From Roskilde I went north to Gillele, a very nice fishing harbour.
Yesterday it was perfect weather, although rather hot, today it is raining cats and dogs all day …
The next stop was the Louisiana museum, which is remarkable not only for the collection but also for the scenery.
From there I tried to travel and find a hotel in Stockholm, no luck or way to expensive and therefore crossed to Malmö in Sweden and visited the Turning Torso, a very famous building by Calatrava.
I started my trip from my parent’s house in Heerenveen and went to Groningen after which many bikers blocked my views. They all came back from the Dutch Motor TT in Assen. It was a perfect day to drive, although in Germany rather busy.
My first stop was Schlesswig where I visited the Nijdam Boat and the Bordesholmer Altar.
From there I was planning to end in Flensburg but changed my plans and drove to Roskilde in Denmark. Roskilde is famous for the Roskilde Festival and the Viking Ship Museum, which I visited the next day. Although it was raining Cats and Dogs all day it is a very nice museum, well worth visiting.
The upcoming holiday is getting closer, so I am doing some planning. One is the trip by boat when getting back from Norway to Denmark. Today reserved the trip from Langesund (Norway) to Hirtshals (Denmark) and a hotel near by in Skien.
