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!)….

Friday, April 20 2018 Only at home for 1 1/2 days and off I go again. But this time it is only partly my fault. Let’s summon up how this happened and rewind to December 2017 (shortened version): Simon: Wanna see Jimmy Carr live in Ålesund on Saturday, 21st April? Me: Sure! Simon: It is…

Tuesday, April, 17 2018 After arriving from Istanbul you have to get back to the Schengen area, that means you have to get through passport control and a new security check. I have the short time of 45 minutes to catch my Austrian Airlines flight. That should be possible. Walking fast I get to the…
