After a few hours of hiking, some pepper cheese bröd, and a tussle with some canucks over who had a better windbreaker jumpsuit, we finally got to the master waterfall. Not only was it sizeable but there was a boulder at the top of it that you could climb on and look straight down the falls. We stayed here for a while and decided it was a good note to end the hike on so we jumped over the waterfall in a barrel and floated away…
Here is the first Foss we found, it was kinda like that part in night at the roxbury where Steve explains how Doug is like a fax machine…
A few vids from the hike, hopefully you can watch them in high res…
I’m sitting down to a nice Norwegian breakfast of what I think is crawdads in an aioli sauce smeared on some bread…tastes really good and kinda spicy….sounds like a weird breakfast but I think I’m sold.
Norway is sweet, kinda similar to the pacific NW. Lots of lakes, rivers, mountains and trees. The weather has also been really good with mostly sunshine. So far I’ve hit a froggypark full of sculptures, walked along a Rio for a while, and explored the intricacies of Norwegian cuisine which includes tubed fish, tubed cheese, tubed tubes, and fish pudding. We were very fortunate to have Norwegian friends who put us up and showed us around. All for the small price of making me dress like a Scandinavian and dance around to some Scandy-pop. We also hit a crazy opera house that tries to look like a mountain, which had a decent view of the area.
Our last night in Norway we made some pizza, salmon and yogurt on one and vegetables and ham on another. We then proceeded to stay up all night watching blue streak and having crawdad spritzers until around 5.30 am when we ran to catch our train and head to Copenhagen.
We spent a really long time in Sweden, almost 6 hours. That’s because when I got off the train, I saw this…
The first thing I noticed in Copenhagen was all the bikes…well, actually it was the hobo peeing on the wall, but the second thing I noticed was the bikes. There is a steady flow of bikes everywhere, much more than traffic of cars. I had a chicken pesto calzone for dinner from 7-11 which seems like a poor choice, but 7-11s are gourmet bakeries in Scandinavialand. Not only that but they usually have full espresso bars and polished wood floors…all class.
The sweetest thing about this city (Copenhagen) is probably how the bikes have their own mini streets on all the roads. The bike roads have lanes, traffic signals, and complete right of way over all. Renting a bike was like 9 dollars a day and has made it easy to see all the water, boats, parks, and the danish reamery, where they make the ream…for ice cream.
Neima and I keep adding days to our stay here in Denmark because this city is relatively cheap and legit as chips.
Some local danes were nice enough to re-enact my experience in Copenhagen with trying to get my bike tire fixed at a local shop. We filmed it and once again James Cameron offered to edit it for me but we caught him stealing from the set and hitting on the key grip so I had to let him go…
These great danes certainly know their danishes and other assorted pastries. We had some good breaker then took to our bikes exploring and found an old military fort right on the coast.
