Bergen, Norway

No, It's not Rohan :-) But it gives you a little hint about where Tolkien got his inspiration to create Rohan. It's an old wooden church, located in Bergen - my hometown. Since it have been little traveling the last months, I had to update my blog with something, and why not promote my own hometown. "The Gateway to the Fjords of Norway Welcome to Bergen, the old city with a young outlook. A city with its feet in the sea, its head in the skies and its heart in the right place - full of infectious enthusiasm, and happy to share it with visitors."

Copenhagen, Denmark

Copenhagen Denmarks Capitol. Friendly city with opportunities to shop, eat and drink well. A trip on the Canals is recommended for "first-timers" in the city.

Alanya, Turkey

Alanya, Turkey I was here on holliday in 1998. It's famous for it's Cleopatra Beach - according to legends the roman general imported sand from Egypt to this beach so that Cleopatra should feel at home. A nice city to visit, with old fortress, nice beach, good food and several turkish baths. Oh, everything is cheap, very cheap - especially textiles and leather products. It's possible to have a day trip up to the mountains and raft. From cat 4 to cat 6 rapids - with food and resting on the halfway.

Austria, Tirol

A former collegue went to Tirol, Austria for skiing. He simply wrote "Asle in Action, sun, snow, cheap drinks and lots of fun" on the back, stamped it and sent it. No need to waste time writing when having a good time.

Vermont & Washington D.C.

In 1997 I had a pen-pal that went to USA as an au-pair. She stayed with a family in Vermont. The card is stamped in "White River". During her year overseas, she also had a trip to Washington D.C. and was kind enough to send me a card from there aswell.

New York

I got this postcard from my girlfriend some time back. Notice the skyline - it's how it was supposed to be. I have not been to NY (yet), or any other state in USA. It is a place that i desire to visit very much, so it's more a question of time (and money) before I go there.

Rhodos

Received from my mother. Have not been to Rhodos myself.

Budapest

From my trip to Budapest. A very lovely city. A lot of Bridges, and a lot of walking if you want to se both Buda and Pest side of the river. I also took a guided tour on a riverboat. Recommended. Visited a vineyard with a restaurant in the winecellar. Live entertainment, good wine and very good food. These are the postcards that I bought, but never sent. Family and friends got some cards without the "eye candy" :-)
