My 10-day Trip to Northern Europe (1)

http://blog.xuite.net/kaikong2003/hkblog/113801566



From 20 / 7 / 2008 to 29 / 7 / 2008, I joined a tour to Northern Europe organized by Hong Thai Travel Services Ltd. and visited Copenhagen, Oslo, Bergen, Fjord, Briksdal Glacier, Stockholm and Helsinki. The scenery was so breathtaking that I did have a great time. I also looked for the cinemas there and took some photos. I am going to share some photos with you.

To my surprise, one of our tour mates, Tung, listens to our online radio show from time to time. What a coincidence!!! He has never left a message in our blog or sent us any emails. He knew I was Kenji on the last day… gosh… What a pity!!! Anyway, many thanks to Tung for giving us some advice and supporting us. The experience of meeting a member of our audience was unforgettable as I always feel it is unlikely for us to meet in Hong Kong, not to mention the Northern Europe!!! ^0^

Tired but Happy! Enjoy the photos!





Copenhagen - The wooden houses are colorful!!!




Sunrise in Oslo - Very cold, but peaceful and hopeful!






Old Town in the second largest city of Norway, Bergen





New Town in Norway





Fjord - I was mesmerized by the natural wonders!




Norway - The longest tunnel in the world - it takes about 30 mins to get out of the tunnel and it is dimly lit. We were in the middle of the tunnel, a GREEN area in which cars can stop for a while.

  1. Hello Kenji,
    Thank you very much for introducing me.
    Thanks also for your efforts in making the movie reviews.
    Your movie reviews are always inspiring & interesting.
     
    BTW, the date of the trip should be 7/20 to 7/29.
    Cheers.

  6. 若我有機會去,其實都唔會選擇跟團,雖然跟團好,幫你安排哂所有行程,不過我都係覺得自己四圍去,感覺自由d

  8. 我從大阪凱旋而歸,返來囉,很有「家」的感覺。 你的blog轉了wallpaper喎,比起之前漂亮多了,這種wallpaper如何設計的?
    你提及的北歐地方名稱,有些我查唔到字典。看在你唔識打中文的份上,叫IAN教下我得唔得呢? 我勁想去歐洲呀....
    至於我的大阪遊,聽日睇我blog啦!
    [版主回覆08/01/2008 23:28:00]
    WELCOME BACK! The new wallpaper is actually a photo. I took the photo in a cinema in Norway. The countries I visited include Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland... You may ignore the names of the cities. I have been to 大阪 once... post more pictures please.

  9. 平有平玩啫 我都係路痴,船到橋頭自然直,我上年去意大利,唔記得帶本guide book,去到任何地方,望住一抽意大利文,我都唔知寫咩,諗住搵巴士搭,又係唔識睇,唔知d巴士去邊樹,坐的士?太貴,所以都係用腳行去目的地,但一樣去到好多地方,要行,點都行得到 最多行到腳痛啫
    [版主回覆08/02/2008 01:01:00]What a great adventure!!! Perhaps I should try to go to a place by myself, if I have time to prepare for the trip and money. I can focus on one or two particular cities in a week... perhaps... ^^

  11. 你咁後生其實應該要試下"自由行"啦!我都無時間安排行程嫁!我都係臨時臨急拎假去,一諗到大約想去邊,就去書局買guide book睇囉!响坐地鐵呀、食午飯時間睇,大約知道可以或好想去邊樹玩,咪打去旅行社book機票囉!我都係用咗兩個星期去度個行程,跟住就出發嘞!話明自由行嘛!我無特別度去邊嫁,橫掂全部都未去過,個個地方都想去嫁啦!我仲只有十二日時間玩,邊得嚟去得哂呀!所以都無理咁多,去到先算 我份人係咁,無計劃,咁會開心好多,旅行嘛!要輕鬆既
    [版主回覆08/03/2008 02:53:00]I am different from you this time. I tend to visit some spots which can represent that country in a short period of time and want to save money and time. BUT next time, when I go to Norway again, I will go to some remote cities BY MYSELF. ^^ (Hopefully I won't lose my way, or I have to host Move Thee Reviews in Norway HAHA!!!)

  13. So admire all teachers like u, long long summer vacation, that i do not hv long long long time ago lu!
    Eventually, u still can't 'quite' from such things related to movies nai, an 100% enthusiastic movie lover, haha!
    [版主回覆08/04/2008 13:44:00]One of the reasons why I want to be a teacher. I think it is important to take a rest sometimes!!! It seems that teachers do have more holidays than others, though the tour fee will be higher during the summer holidays.

  16. 很美麗的風景。 外國一直都讓人感覺很舒服、很乾淨。 真希望有一天能親自體驗那裏的空氣。 比起美洲,我更想旅遊歐洲。
