Day 21: Day trip to Mexico

Day 20: Welcome to America...

...where going for a walk in Balboa Park, San Diego does not necessarily include walking...

Day 19: Hostel art

Lucky D's hostel in San Diego

Day 18: Hollywood

See the Hollywood sign in the hills?

Day 17: Welcome to California!

After a very long trip we arrived in Hollywood and had dinner at California Vegan, where chicken was not chicken but very yummy anyway!

Day 16: My traveling companions

I had a really nice last day in Norway; shopping in Oslo with Line and then a lovely dinner with my mum and my brother. But I didn't bring my camera today, so instead a took a photo of my traveling companions:

1. The blue backpack - my dear friend and carrier since 2006, after traveling around the world for six months I have never again used a suitcase...

2. Mr. Moose - since my 18th birthday when I got Elgen / Mr. Moose from my best friend Line before I went to the US as an exchange student he has been with me everywhere. I dare say he is one of the world's most traveled moose!

3. The blue Ipod - for music and games (solitaire all the way! I'm addicted...) on short and long trips

4. My camera - to document everything!

5. Anti-bacterial gel - to guard myself from scary things like swine flu... oink, oink!

Day 15: My Oslo bike

In front of the palace on the way home at 11 pm

Here in Oslo they have bikes that you can borrow for 3 hours at a time to get around. All you have to do is pay 80 kr to get a card, then you can pick up and drop off all over the city. It is a cheap, fast, safe and 'green' way to get around, and today I used it four times! I like my Oslo bike(s)

=)

Day 14: Tur i marka med mamma

Day 13: Thailand in Oslo

Today was a very lively day in Oslo, with lots of stuff going on: market day in Bygdøy Alle by my house, music festival all with concerts all around the city, an environmental festival and a Thai market. I walked around with my mum and on my own, and although it was not very warm it was a nice day =)

Day 12: Evening walk with Hildus

Day 11: The countdown has begun...

6 days left til I'm going to the US on the ultimate road trip with Kaja and Martine! 4 weeks on the road will be amazing... =)

Day 10: Salt Sild

I went to Sandvika today with Line, Hilde and Trine and after having coffee and then McDonalds we had a sudden craving for salty liquorice!

Day 9: Time to say goodbye

Yesterday I left Aberystwyth and I will not be back until September 2010! It was a strange feeling, I felt sad but at the same time excited about my year abroad. Hannah got up at 5 am to walk me to the train station, thank you! It was a looong day of traveling, but it's good to be back in Norway for the summer :)

Day 8: A day out in Machynlleth

Today I went to Machynlleth (a small town 30 mins by train from Aber) and the Centre for Alternative Technology with Mimi and Hannah. We had a great day wandering around in the sun with our audioguides (and it was fun, despite the serious looks on their faces...) =)
