SO..let's continue..after Tretten through loveley Gudbrandsalen..
I recall places like Ringebu..Vinstra..Otta..up to Dombas..
gets a bit mountain regio there..around Dovre-Hjerkinn..
then Oppdal..and there a got a ride with a farmer and his wife..
they took me to their farm in Leinstrand bit south of Trondheim..
He was really proud of his cows..they got milked by machines..
I stayed overnight..got some good food..and next day reached
Trondheim..quick sightseeing..I stayed in the Youth Hostel there..
Next day via Hell..Yes..Hell..but I only went through..never set foot
in Hell.because I got a ride from Trondheim directly to Steinkjer..
slept somewhere around Snasa..Norway has got lots of free space
and allmansretten means that you can put up a tent and do some
wild camping..you must stay a certain distance from the nearest house..
not burn anything etc...but point was..I did have no tent..
never travelled with a tent..next day i reached Mo i Rana..
slept in waiting room of railway station..no problem at all..
loveley scenery in this part of Norway..it's's such a loveley country..
next day I reached the Polarcirkel near Stodi..midnight sun was there..

Well...so one day I set off again..direction Norway..
first hitched a ride trough Holland..piece of cake really..
crossed the border in Hengelo..so then Germany..
Germany was and to my opinion is still a good country to hitch
a ride..these famous autobahnen get you going..you can make
distances really..so Bremen-Hamburg-Puttgarden..ferry to Rodby
I slept in a youth hostel somewhere in Germany..
Danemark is flat country..bit like Holland..Copenhagen..
well..that was a nice city..I stayed 3 days there..visited Tivoli
fun park..in the evening pub visit..and slept out in a park..
second day..I went to Kristiania freestate..still exists today..
the police had nothing to say there..squatters..
I recall some good music..and I got tipsy there on some stuff..
from Copenhagen one can hitch to Helsingor..ferry to Helsingborg
so..Sweden..nice country..I have good memories of Sweden..
hitched towards G?teborg..nice town..but bit to stiff and clean..
ride towards Oslo..border in Svinesund is a huge bridge..
wawww..Norway..still my favorite country up till now..
what Europe is concerned..Oslo...was O.K..Karl Johan gate..
nice people..lots of young folks in the summer..
slept in an old house there....felt a bit weird though..
snakker du Norsk??..jeg..det er en vanskelig sprak..
did'n't understand the language..left for Lillehammer..
I was going to visit a chick in Tretten..small village..
stayed overnight there..nice people..Lillehammer is known
for its open air museum Maihaugen..lots of farmhouses etc..
