I must be one if I even have to log on from the ferry between Denmark and Norway, and especially if that internet is 2 Kroner a minute … you can figure out how much that works out to.
I spent the night in Frederikshavn, and I am sure I mispronounced the name more than once. The cheapest room I could find was 525 Kroner. (figure that out too, but refrain from telling me how much it is.) I slept incredibly well after not having any sleep on the train from Paris to Hamburg. I fell asleep in my clothes, on top of the covers and woke up a while later. By the light outside, I thought it was about 10:30 at the latest. My mobile phone clock said 2:30. I had to open my powerbook to make sure that was right. Night does not get dark, even here in northern Denmark.
Breakfast was included, and after I called the ferry company and booked my ticket, I sat down to muesli, juice and bread.
The ferry itself is huge, like a cruise ship. There are cabins and everything, but I opted for the cheap 54 euro trip where I have to scrounge for a place to sit anywhere I can. Everything is expensive, of course.
I hope to be on the next farm today … but I have no idea how to get there. It is in or near Bjørkelangen. But my two quick searches of the bus and train lines on the web make it look like neither type of service goes there. I can`t afford to pay for the time to really find out either. I will have to call the farmer and see what they say! Otherwise, I will be spending the night in Oslo!
I think Gertrud has brought up a good point. You should probably have a link to your flickr page somewhere in the main top row links or on the right side… For Gertrud (and others), it’s: http://www.flickr.com/photos/steve-wilson/
Hey James-
I think you meant to comment on this post http://steve-wilson.net/2007/07/16/heading-to-norway/ rather than this one …
Thanks for that, by the way!
Actually, I commented on this one on purpose as kind of a on-going commentary since this one and the prior one has no pics. But in hindsight, I think you are right that it would have made more sense to comment on the prior post.
Did you just add the link area on the right in response to this suggestion or was that there the whole time and I was suffering temporary blindness?
The link list area has been on the homepage forever, but it was below the latest posts list and the where am I what’s up blurbs. I reduced the number of latest posts from 10 to 5 and moved the link area up the page. I also changed the preference so the link list appears on archive and single post pages as well. Just a little reconfiguring, that’s all.
I’m reluctant to put a link to my flickr site along with the rest of the site navigation along the top since flickr is an offsite link.
