Where have I been




Norway. This is where I went for a summer holiday. It's funny because it was my second summer holiday and one of many this year. The trip started in the Netherlands (of course) and no the transportation was not a jet. It was a car so it took a while to get to Norway. The first and second night was spent in Lund Sweden. In Lund there was this wonderful water hole to swim in, best of all there were not many other people swimming in it. Was really one of the ones out of a film. Sweden was very nice, even got to spend some time in Malmo. The joys of freedom driving. After sweeden it was on to Goteborg and then over to Norway where the next night was spent in Tonsberg. One of the older cities in Norway. So nice to be back there and seeing friends. To bad it was so short but I will be back to Tonsberg sometime. The next day was again another long drive over to Bergen. But what a spectacular drive it is. It looks so much like NZ but different. The advice was to take road number 7. What road number 7 has to offer to to travelers is breath taking. The images in my mind will last a life time. In bergen the rain did not come down at all. The last time was perfect sun and this time also was perfect sun. Which is very nice since it may be one of the dampest cities in the world. Bergen is such a good place to visit and the people there just make the trip all so worth it. After Bergen the direction of the trip was to Stavanger. One night there and a good look around then back on the road to Kristiansand, with a short stop then a stones throw over the sea, the trip took a landing in Denmark. A night spent and an evening stroll. Kiel was the last night, in Germany before being back home.
What a great trip. Over the ten days over 3000 Km were clocked on the speedo and 26 was clocked on the number of friends visited. Traveling to see people is something you have to do, after all it the people you encounter on the way that make the trip a success.

The adventures continue, already there are cards on the table, places to be people to see.
