Holiday time!
Chyros 20 Jul 2013
Yes folks, I'm going on a holiday again, this time first back home for 9 days and then another 10 on a road trip through the fjords of Norway. I'm been looking forward to this quite a lot, since as most of you know from my incessant blabbering, Norway is the country of my ancient forefathers .
I'll be leaving Tuesday morning and will be back August 11th - I'll have internet during the first part of the holiday.

Yes, I must admit, travelling is probably my biggest hobby .
(and by far the most expensive )

Oh we'll be hiking shitloads across the fjords, and I imagine we'll do some mountainbiking as well.

No idea how you afford all this shit on your (apparently) awful PhD wage.
Have fun nonetheless.

Good luck, have fun.
Sounds like a really interesting place. It's always nice to go adventuring into your past as well.

Wait a minute, I just zoomed in and it looks like a bunch of rocks.
It's even smaller than Guernsey! All these years jibing at Bob and your even more of an islander at heart

Bwahaha, dat DACHT je maar!
I guess the best term is "along" but we'll be hiking and biking quite a lot as well. Basically we're taking the longest possible route between Trondheim and Bergen .

Right, later today I'm flying to Norway, and as we're going to be camping in the wild all the time, I won't have any internet until I get back. See you guys on the 12th!

Back in Southampton, now finally with internet at home! Norway was fucking amazing - pics and a more detailed account to follow soon!

Sorry it took a while. I have well over 200 photos after all the pruning which I posted on Facebook, but for the purposes of this thread I'll post only a few. If you like them, the rest are just as much worth the effort though.

Trollstigen (The Troll's Ladder (they call everything after trolls in Scandinavia)):
Trolltunga (The Troll's Tongue):
View away from Bødalsbreen glacier:

Some really nice shots there mate, nice view.
Reminds me a lot of New Zealand.

Which is also high on my to-visit list, just a shame it's on the diametric opposite end of the world . I have several hundred more shots like this because basically everything you see is as pretty as this.
The fjords are unlike anything I've seen before, but I suspect the openness of the landscape and the valleys would be quite NZ-ish, yeah.

Excellent landscape. You need to buy a Digital SLR camera if you are going to be travelling around so much
