While SAS thought it would be a good idea to change all flights to Oslo I had to come up with another possibility to escape home office and the flat where I am now 24/7. So i booked a hotelroom only 90 minutes driva away. The Quality Choice Hotel in Ålesund. 2 nights – or…

Time to go home. This time with SAS via Oslo. Filled up the car at the last gas station before the airport. Got some looks for filling 3,5 liters.^^ The flight to Oslo takes 2 hours.

The transport alternative of choice was an eBike of the same company I had rented the car from. Placed at bike standsaround the city. Use the app, unlook the bike and…

Time for a small tour. Breakfast at the hotel. Very nice buffet. Friendly staff. Nothing to complain at all. That is a good start. The bed was not as perfect as I like it (to soft). But a great view from the 13th floor after getting up. I did some research on the net before…

The first of my short holidays – or long weekends – however you wanna call them. I booked a 3 night stay in Bodø and then a train trip down to Trondheim with the Nordlandsbana. Said to be a great train ride. The ticket for that was a birthday present from my parents. First day…
