Cycling in Flåm, Norway – A bitter sweet experience (Final)
Decision I need to face reality now and think rationally. If I continue, I might pass out in the middle of nowhere and nobody might discover me. If I don’t pass out and manage to reach there safely, I still would have used up all my remaining energy by then…Then what? Call a taxi? Ask the […]

Discovery of Oslo, the capital of Norway (Part 2)
Oslo City Hall Following a satisfying tour at the National Gallery, I head towards the City Hall even though it is closed at this hour. The building was decorated by great Norwegian art from 1900-1950, with motifs from Norwegian history, culture and working life. So, I thought I should just check out the building, walk around it.
