  • Edinburgh (Scotland)

    We hired a van – with a driver – to take us around the Scottish countryside – via Stirling to Loch Lomond. The lady on the phone told me that his name was Big Jock. and instantly I regretted the whole thing…

  • London, Brighton & Cambridge (England)

    London, Brighton & Cambridge (England)
    After a day of strolling the parks around the Cambridge colleges I sat down in a decent looking pub to have a meal. While waiting for my Chicken Tikka Masala i downed three pints of Strongbow Cider in order to reinstate a healthy water balance… Another two followed during the rather strong meal and when I arose from my seat some one and a half hour later I realized that I was not just a little tipsy and had to spend another hour in the pub awaiting to become sober.

    Preface

    For reasons unknown (and uncomprehendable) me and three friends decided that 2002 was a good year to go abroad on an expedition in addition to the annual august fishing trip which we usually spent in the mountains back home where we were born and grew up togehter.
    This radical new thinking didn’t materialize itself into anything until suddenly one day Håvard was on the phone all excited about a business meeting he had scheduled in London in August. He went all administrative on us and started to fill up our e-mail inboxes with well meaning information about travelling to London (spam).
    As the day of departure came closer we experienced a light version of what Judas did to Jesus during the last rites. Two of our company slipped away – just like that – without any further explanation they simply cancelled. However; back there was me and Håvard. This was bound to be a success!

    London

    London is as dusty and dirty as it always was but still magically attractive to any person born in the slightly more quiet Norwegian country side.

    Cambridge

    Brighton

    Since the Prince Regent (later King George IV) first visited Brighton and Hove in 1783, his fantastic seaside palace, the Royal Pavilion, with its Indian domes and minarets and its Chinese style interior, has become a landmark not to be missed. And, thanks to his influence, some of the finest examples of Regency architecture in England can be seen in Brighton and Hove.

  • Sicily, Catania & Taormina (Italy)

    Sicily, Catania & Taormina (Italy)
    The boat trip had worn out most of my fellow travellers who were now dreaming of sitting down. Later in the day in Taormina I saw many of them queued up in front of the chemists in order to buy pills against sea sickness.

  • Valletta, Mdina & Victoria (Malta)

    However unlikely it sounds Malta is actually one of the most densely populated countries in Europe with its two islands Gozo and Malta and their 386 649 citizens. As opposed to the crowded and busy island of Malta, Gozo is much quieter – and greener: this is where according to the Odyssee, Odysseus wassupposed to have spent seven long years with the witch Calypso on his way back to Ithaka from the battle of Troj.

  • Hamburg & Bremen (Germany)

    The problem arose when we started looking for our hotel. Ivar Petter and me decided after a brief logic reasoning session that easts was probably “that” way and we set out in look for the hotel. Now – have you ever wondered where prostitutes go after retirement from Reperbahn? Well – I know now; they go east! East of Reperbahn, east of the railwaystation, just around our hotel!

  • Copenhagen & Dragør (Denmark)

    Dragør is a small and unremarkable place compared to many of the great sights of the world – however – the beautiful yellow painted houses, the narrow streets and the good general atmosphere make you feel that you have landed at a pleasant spot all the same… The reason for my visit was attending a project meeting, but as always there is a little room left for social activities.

  • Brighton & London (England)

    Keen to explore the English Riviera I had booked tickets for Brighton since this is an ideal base for touring the coast and a pleasant spot to enjoy the sea.

    Asplan Viak Internet as or Avinet as it is often dubbed is an independent company in the Asplan Viak group. I started working for the company in 2001 when it was first started as a consultant. When the former MD left I was assigned this post.

  • Hirtshals & Hjørring (Denmark)


    We were running a little late for the ferry back to Norway and had to catch the train. I gave everything I had and jumped after my companions onto the train that was already moving. The only small problem was that the train was moving south – and the ferry was quite a bit to the north.
