Flam. GRENSE


Believe it or not, I have spent some time before even guessing what this little sign on rock was about...
"Grense" is norwegian for "Border".

Flam. Roof garden



Quite literally

Church in Tromso. "Lasciatevi prendere per la gola"


When it comes to "Church marketing", Norwegians are second to none... Ok maybe the Americans. I still haven't seen miracles and presidents naming God every other sentence here

Midnight


Honnisgsvag. Delicious until...

You are told they are fried tongues

Magerøya



I still don't know why there are hundreds of towers of Hanoi here in Magerøya, close to North Cape. More importantly I still ignore what is their actual meaning...
Damn, I am so intrigued by it, and yet I cannot find an answer

Nordkapp




For someone it is just a point in the amazing tundra, for someone just a lie : it is not the northern point in Europe...
For someone you love a dream come true
For most a destination

Either ways, the view from the cliffs is breathtaking


BTW: I ignored that adults could still dream from something but fame, success, money. Nice.

Arctic Circle... And Whales



After few days watching "whales" feeding themselves at succulent Norwegians buffets,
here it is where at last I saw a real whale.

Empty churches?... Not anymore! Not in Trondheim


Norwegians seem to have found a way to get people to go to church...

Ops, gotta go. Time for a glass of wine and ... ;)

Geiranger

Young Norwegians are quite beautiful; probably even more than the more popular neighbours: the Swedishes.
They don't seem to age well though ;)

Stavanger

Pee with love. The old town looks like a fairy tale borough at times; not even loos ruin the atmosphere

Duh!




easyJet operates a strict priority boarding system and board passengers in the following order:
First...
Group SB: Passengers who have purchased Speedy Boarding/Speedy Boarding Plus
Then ...
Group SA: Passengers requiring special assistance and families (maximum 2 adults) where at least one child is aged 5 years or under.
Then ... Group A: (reserved for passengers who have checked in online, and the first 30 people who check in at the airport)
And last ... and least
Group B

A lady (see picture), talking on the phone jumps the queue, shows up at the gate with her Group B boarding pass, right at the moment when passangers requiring special assistance are boarded... Walk to the front, shows the passport and the boarding card, while still on the phone
The steward to her: "Just passengers requiring special assistance, I am afraid"
The lady:" I require special assistance the luggage is too heavy for me"


???

(I am happy to say that she was NOT Italian)
