Animaniacs - Nations of the World

I found interesting video on web with travel topic. If you think that you know all nations of the world, and you can speak fast enough, try to sing together with this video. I am sure, that you will not be able to sing together with this singing evil. And when you will be good enough, correct Czechoslovakia in this song and sing Czech Republic and Slovakia, because now we are 2 separated countries.

My travels - Norway on Bike 1997 - 5.day

Norway

7.August 1997





This morning I woke up as second. Olga didn't sleep all night, because camping was near of railway, and Olga whole night listened sounds of trains. After washing and breakfast, we left Olympic city Lillehammer.




Norway 1997 - RomsdalOur next target was Romsdal. Part of way we spent in the car, but next part, more interesting, we spent on sits of our bikes. Why more interesting, we recognized in a short time. In valley, near of road we found our first waterfalls. We made a lot of photos. At that time we didn't know that we will see much more waterfalls. My physical condition wasn't still good. But I wasn't alone and we wheeled bikes in a group. Together we reached our camp near Romsdalen hills. Camp was situated to mountain valley, near a small lake. But watter was such cold, that nobody try it. But it didn't discourage local boys from jumping in it from near bridge. Together we prepared our meal and built our tents. Then on bikes we visited near village. No pubs was open there, and we returned and in camp we drank tea with plum brandy. It was present from foreign friends of Jarko. It wasn't bad, but Slovak plum brandy used to be more better. At being expected of difficult route we went to sleep rather.

My travels - Norway on Bike 1997 - 4.day

Norway

6.August 1997





Norway 1997 - MjosaI am first up at morning. Weather is beautiful. My stomach and my head reminds me alcohol orgy from yesterday. But socialization is also necessary on this kind of travels. I am walking slowly, and sun is shinning on my face. Sooner than others wake up, I wash myself and I make small excursion to near village. When I returned others were also up. We are a little bit nervous, today is our first bike trip. I am curious on Olga, because yesterday she confessed, she is doing triathlon with good results. After unmounting bikes from car, checking their status, we must prepare us, bikers. After preparation we start our trip. We form a small ruck. Today it was only small trip, for warming up our bodies. Peter supervises us, and it looks like we are going without problems. Driver Jaro, round around us with car in half hour after our start.




Norway 1997 - Lillehammer
Near of turning to Lillehammer he is waiting to us, to show us where to turn. Lucia, Gabika and Olga wait on me near a car, but Peter and Hela is still not there. Jaro starts the car and he go to find them. Nothing important happened. Only Hela need to repair her flat tire, and Peter helped here. In full formation we continue to Lillehammer. Our first stop is ski jump at Lysgårdsbakken Stadion. Here I recognized that my condition is very poor this year. I finished last part of way up to hill wheeling my bike. There after small rest I feel more better. We put aside our bikes and we are go up the stairs to top of ski jump. We were looking on jumpers in leather overalls, training their jumps on artificial snow. Our body were sweating, and we don't envy them their overalls. After short rest stops we reach top of hill. We were looking for some souvenir shops, but unfortunately we don't find any. But we find there open air museum and we go there. In addition we find a lot of bilberries there. Together with Hela we eat most of them. We also make some photos of beautiful sceneries around us. Going down was much more easier than was going up. We also look at figure skating stadium, where young girls were skating. Each of use choose his/her favourite and we encourage them. Outside of stadium we try skiing simulator. We hide to cabin and in small time we experience our first virtual downhill run with screaming.



Norway 1997 - Lillehammer Later we visited center of Lillehammer. Lillehammer is a small city with wooden houses and with nice surroundings. It is a few year after Olympic Games, but they atmosphere is still there. Souvenirs of all types from T-shirts to books and sculptures of trolls are everywhere around us. We were really surprised with quality of tourist information bureaus. Their services are excellent. After city exploration we go to near camping on bank of of Mjosa lake. We build our tents near of volleyball play-ground. At reception we lend volleyball ball and we prepare our sport evening. First of all, braver of us try the water. It took me 10 minutes to dive in such cold water. Slowly after me go Gabika and I try to splash water to her. I was surprised with her bad reaction. After swimming we start our volleyball match. Together with Gabika and Lucia we lost, because Olga as physical training teacher disrupted us with her funny speaking and advices. We play only to entertain ourselves, and result wasn't so striking. It was funny improving of our evening. We know with two young Slovaks crossing North Europe by trains. Peter helps them with possible interesting places here in Norway. We decide to visit Lillehammer in the night. We wanted to visit some local pub, but all pubs were closed at this time. In Norway it is a big problem to find open pub after 10 PM. I think they have some law, that pubs have to be closed to 10 PM. But on the other side night streets of Lillehammer were also beautiful. We wrote some postcards and sent them at home. When we returned Peter was already sleeping. We as a good team followed him in a short time.
