Stavanger, Norway Day 3 & 4

By -
Stavanger day three was our official unofficial street art tour! We downloaded a map of the past street art festival art locations and set off to explore finding lots of stuff along the way. This post will once again be mostly street art/graffiti. Stavanger loves it and so do we!








So tiny!

Pictures in the bricks!




I loved these that were made to look like apartment buildings
















































Tou Scene has tons and tons of street art on the buildings in the area




















He was really cool - made out of lots of materials

Sitting in the park


With a strange water thing. It was constantly just spinning the water




Lunch at Ostehuset. Avacado toast I think (I don't remember, and can't find an english menu)

And a taco salad. Both were delicious, but not much food

Started to clear up after lunch





























We went to Gadja Etiopisk for dinner and this was my favorite Ethiopian food! So so so good. Started with a Sambossa

And a vegan platter with red and green lentils, berbere, spinach, yellow chickpeas, beets, cabbage and carrots, and oh it was delicious!! Highly recommend this place





The next morning was sunny and beautiful! But we had a plane to catch in the afternoon so no grand hiking adventures for us. Next time. 












Last lunch was at the Inside Rock Cafe (same chain we ate at in Bergen). These burgers are so tasty!

And we got a side of onion rings because I wanted more!

And that was it for our trip to Norway last year. I loved Stavanger even though the people seemed angry. I loved the street art and wandering around looking for things. We will definitely have to go back one year for the festival!

Railay Beach, Thailand - Day 1

By -

Getting to Railay Beach from Bangkok kind of takes forever. We had taken the overnight train from Bangkok to Surat Thai where we had to switch to a bus to take us to Krabi. I slept much better on the train that night. I had put in my earplugs and only woke up a few times. It was great. I woke up around 6 and was ready to go. Raymond was just like you are so wakey! I was just like yeah - I actually slept! So I was all refreshed and ready to go. 
We had picked up some banana muffins in Bangkok for breakfast, as well as leftovers from our feast the night before, and the muffins were delicious! We should have gotten more of them than we did. So we got to Surat Thani and had to switch to a bus like I said. It was a bit confusing where we should go and what was going on, but we got on the bus and it took us into Surat Thani Town. That bus was really nice so I thought the trip to Krabi would be great. Only we had to wait a bit and switch buses and the new bus, the one that took us the whole…

Last year was the roller derby world cup in Manchester! I love roller derby world cup! I love watching all the teams from all over the world and seeing how they have improved and oh it is so much fun!! Last year there were 38 teams! It was awesome.
We got into Manchester at lunchtime and had a crazy big lunch at Mod's Vegan Cafe at the Thirsty Scholar which was delicious! Vegan English breakfast, a burger with fries and onion rings
It was rainy so we didn't wander around much, but I made Raymond go out in the afternoon to check out The John Rylands Library which was super cool. And so many super old books!













It is really the only sightseeing we did while in Manchester as we had so much derby to watch!
Dinner at V Rev - soup, mac and cheese, and fired seitan plate - delicious!

Easter in Rostock 2018

We decided to go up to the coast for Easter last year and went somewhere new - Rostock. You have to go out to Warnemunde to get to the actual coast, but I couldn't find any places available that overlooked the water so we stayed in the city instead. And it snowed!
Wandering around a wet, snowy Rostock







We did take the train to Warnemunde one day and it was gorgeous, but super cold!





While wandering in Rostock we saw there would be a choir concert at St Marien church so we decided to check it out. It was the St John Passion by Heinrich Schütz and...was just okay. Really a few of the singers were not very good so...plus it was freezing in the church. No heat or anything, it was cold outside so those stone walls and suff just made it so so cold.
