A virtual London sightseeing! An old guide’s tour of central London in the mid 1990’s.
Our work was being tour guides for Star Tour 6 days a week for Scandinavian guests coming to London for a weekend or a weeks city break.

How to clear Norwegian snow, a tale of epic scenic byroads, fjords, ferrys and flugelhørns!
There are plenty of scenic byroads in Norway, many of which are only open during summer, the reason for this being that many of these roads are high mountain roads. Many were built to facilitate the building of hydroelectric dams in the mountains of Norway, so that the drop down to the fjord could be […]
Svalbard; polarbears, russians and snowmobiles! Life in the fast lane in the frozen north.
Arriving at the airport in Spitsbergen is like landing on a snow-clad planet Mars. The landscape is eerie due to lack of light in the early spring (our visit was in late February) and the crumbling mountains with their abandoned coal mines and lines of coal buckets suspended in mid-air surrounding the settlement of Longyearbyen. […]
San Francisco! Golden Gate, Alcatraz, gay times, hippies and tiki bars!

Eating our way through Alicante, Spain (and hanging out with men in pointy hats)
For most northern Europeans Alicante is a well-known charter destination for the sun worshipping sun starved northerners. It is more known as a destination than a vibrant Spanish town with great food, plazas and wonderful narrow streets filled with cafes and bodegas. Alicante is blessed with a beach in the city centre, so to combine […]
I rescued a hawk! Just a small everyday happy story.
My cats got slightly agitated, and I did not understand why, until I saw a hawk trapped between our veranda pots and fence. Not really thinking about the sharp beak and talons, I grabbet it. The look it gave me was either pure murder, or gratefulness, not really sure what it was. I released it, […]

Hipster’s paradise, Shoreditch, London!
The hipster’s paradise of Shoreditch has gone from somewhere we were not recommended to go in the 90s to something of a hub for street and hipster fashion and food.

New York’s Meatpacking District, a great urban regeneration project and excellent destination for food, drinks and shopping
