Day 1/2 Time to leave home for my short work trip to Oxford. Thanks to public funding, my union offers educational meeting once a year – and often it is cheaper to travel abroad than staying in Norway. As the plane to London leaves early in the morning, I was booked on the flight the…

Friday it was back to Bergen at the Norwegian west coast. Some month ago, I found some cheap airline tickets and the trip was booked. Leaving directly from work – hand luggage only – to catch the flight at 17:10. 45 minutes to Oslo and a 45 minutes layover before the 45 minute flight to…

This weekend I have been visiting friends close to Arendal in the southern part of Norway. I have been to this region once before, but then I spend a rainy weekend in Kristiansand (not to mix up with Kristiansund – that is some 500 km north – so don’t program your GPS the wrong way!)….

Monday, Mai 21 2018 One man down again. 🙂 The last evening was too long for Magnus. But the rest of us manage to get to breakfast at 10:30. A good breakfast is always a good start of the day. And what is the easiest way to get to a place in Kiev and the Metro is…

Sunday, Mai 20 2018 Sleeping as long as possible we get up and down to breakfast at 10:30 with 30 minutes before they close. Nice breakfast. We are missing Lasse who took a late night – or should I say early morning. He is out of order for the moment. So we decide to give him…
