It’s a shame, but we have never been in this charming Town.
In fact, it’s typical for neighbours, yeah, we go far away without knowing what’s right around the corner.

If you watch TV on TORsday, you can see what was only a few years ago was called Norways main intersection.
Now, the Town of Drammen is in a fabulous state and they will host WC in Sprint Cross Country in the Center of the Town.
(My Mothers grandpa in fact went from Stockholm to Drammen about 125 years ago, to establish his own business)

Have a great rest of the week.

We keep in touch.

btw. I did post, as you might have seen a little teaser for the OsloBG – WW-entry

We have the same problem, but the other way! We want to go visit a “Miss Ass. Lifecruiser” – my best friend who has moved to US recently. We wanted to fly with Iceland Air to do a stop over at Iceland, but unfortunately they don’t fly where we’re going… and we don’t want another stop too… *damn*

If you can do a stop at Iceland, do, because Iceland is simply gorgeous and a bath in the Blue Lagoon is just heavenly!!!! Oh, have you checked icelandexpress.com too?

From where do you want to fly? Where in Europe do you want to go, besides Oslo?

I am just trying to find a way for airfare from the U.S. to be less expensive. I have a feeling if I am ever to make it to Europe, I am going to have to get pretty creative in my flights (like stopping over in Iceland on Iceland Air or something like that). I would so love to buy Gherkins in this town though….and I am trying to figure out a way to Oslo.

That’s a really cozy sound and the pictures you took are just lovely. It gives me this nostalgic feeling.

Looks like a lovely little town with a lot of interesting things to see ! Love the name of the cuncumber inventor “Bohnsack” which means beanbag, he should have invented beans !

Who knew the town that founded H&M could be so cute! Sounds like a great little trip.
