Hi Samy,
I imagine you are referring to the quoted post; pour moi est ist OK. Il est nur ein kliene "post" - an "add on" (peut etre un joke?).
So, je voudrais to permit this now and again!

Forgive me, I am not taking the piss, I just don't mind posters putting in an occasional phrase (so long as they don't expect me to understand it as well - my language skills are hopeless, as demonstrated here).

Best wishes,

Well well, we all call us self travelers.... with out speech... what would you do... ?

OK here we go... 1st of all, I used to speak Danish better than English, thats for a start... living 3-1/2 years in Denmark when I was age 18.... "so I'm NOT taking the piss" why not being nice if possible and the world community can grow a bit closer....

and for all of you who can't understand my phrase at the end of my last post:

uskyld jag har glimed teller non dansk men de er tyve or siln jag were over po Fyn.... tar de rolit og hyger did....

(sorry I forgot to tell some Danish, but that's twenty years ago I have been on Fyn... take it steady and in comfort....) the spelling is a bit do bumpy...

I spend 8 years on that rock called the UK... I learned that the UK-people have a great respect for those who speak more than English, and it's rather a compliment saying things like: [..ps Your English is fine, and I am not Bull***ting you - much better than my Danish of course...] will say: "oh never mind your bumpy English, it's better than my Turkish, German, Danish, French, Spanish..." ... so... don't judge to hard it could hit your self if you want to buy a few bits on a "Bazaar in Huddersfield / UK" or any where els on your next trip.... you would not have any problems speaking Turkish over here in Berlin... native Germans call it "little-Istanbul" you could call it "mini-Yew York"... my next door neighbours are from: Turkey, Russia, Poland, Japan, British, Yanks, Thai, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, Spain, France, Ireland, Brazil, Italy and some from Africa, east-Germans and west-Germans... you name it, it's all here, all in a surrounding area of may 100 meter around me, every day. I like it a lot....

now, if I would speak more than three languages, I would give every one some warm welcome in his or here native languages on there way... and one more thing, I think HUBB is a great place where people know about how to handle the way non native English folk who want to share common interest .... isn't that traveling and exploring the Globe ? a bumpy phrase is part of it...

spooky

Hi Thomas & Trine,

I toured Norway a couple of years ago and found it to be a wonderful experience. Our little group of five bikers found there were three types of camping;

Firstly - free camping.

This involved setting up camp in area's that had no facilities, other than the ground that you set your tent on. Very handy as they were cheap but not something you could use every day.

Secondly - camp sites.

We found these to provide various levels of comfort, from basic but clean sites, where all had very good shower facilities to fabulous sites that had sauna's pools etc. Every site we used was perfect, just that some provided more options than others. One site even had under floor heating in the bathroom area's keeping your tootsies warm!

Third and finally - Hytta's.

These are log cabins that varied from a basic shed like unit, complete with heating and cooking facilities, to more grand designs compete with several bedrooms, bathrooms etc. Fantastic value.

I'd recommend that you use the standard camp sites but every few days treat yourselves to a Hyyta. This then gives you a treat where you don't have to break camp in the mornings, you can have a laze in bed (most of them you need to use your bedding) and you can dry out any of your wet gear.

As for towels, I always use the high absorption camping versions and find that they dry off really quickly.

We also managed to wash our smalls by putting hot water into a large sweet jar, adding a bit of washing concentrate then attaching it to the rear of a bike. At the end of the day your clothing is well washed and just needs a rince and drying!

One last bit of advise is to use Statoil fuel stations, as you can buy a coffee mug for about £5-00 but you get free coffee at all the stations! Great idea. They also provide cheap hot foods, should you fancy a snack.

Have a great time and take plenty of film/digital storage as you'll need it.

Oh I forgot, most of the Norwegians speak English better than we do!

As for Emails, well there are plenty of internet cafes around and in the quieter area's we were allowed internet access at some garages! Now I can't see that happening in England can you!

Enjoy.

Hi Tl

Look for a HUBB community where you're going.

Expect prices to be 3X what you pay at home.

Norway is beautiful.

T O T A L L Y A G R E E W I T H I T thanks
