torjen: February 2007
http://torjen.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 12, 2007. Yes - we are in Portugal. Everything is just great. We arrived yesterday - to 18 C weather quite nice since we had minus 1 when we left Berlin on Sunday morning. When we go to Portugal we mostly go to Lagos, where a good friend of ours. Owns a house and we always stay there - it is like a home away from home. Otherwise it is great to relax and just enjoy our time here. Posted by torjen at 7:59 PM. Thursday, February 08, 2007. My Mom isn't too thrilled actually to see my father ...

torjen: Bem-vindo a Portugal, bem-vindo a Funchal
http://torjen.blogspot.com/2009/12/bem-vindo-portugal-bem-vindo-funchal.html
Monday, December 07, 2009. Bem-vindo a Portugal, bem-vindo a Funchal. What a fantastic greeting for the sailors and so not catholic. Yes, we arrived in Funchal, Madeira. Finally home, at least a little bit. No problems with languages or culture. Here are some images of the small town of Funchal which simply is lovely. The whole scenery reminded me of the Black Forest only with tropical plants (banana trees seem to be weed here). Lovely gay Christmas decoration. A river running through the city.

torjen: November 2006
http://torjen.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 25, 2006. Has it really already been two weeks since my last post? Posted by torjen at 8:56 PM. Saturday, November 11, 2006. Amazing how fast two weeks can pass when you are on vacation. We had a fantastic time here. I was able to relax and calm down quite a bit. Jens was not as able to do so due to at least four or five migrane attacks in the past couple of weeks. We of course have luggage issues. Our little C3 should be able to get us home tomorrow.

torjen: Cartagena - Karthago
http://torjen.blogspot.com/2009/12/cartagena-karthago.html
Monday, December 07, 2009. When I first heard the name Cartagena, I didn’t know anything about the city. Until my birthday when we met my old friend T and his lovely wife J. He just told me that it was Cartago - and it all came back to me:. Hannibal, elephants over the alps, fighting Rome, Hasdrubal, Hamilcar, the three Punic Wars from that point on it was the most interesting stop for historic reasons for me. Pictures of the Roman Amphitheatre are still on T’s cam, so you have to wait for that.

torjen: December 2007
http://torjen.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 22, 2007. How did this happen? When did I forget about the blog? I really don't know. Maybe it was too much work or lack of interest - but I thought it was about thime to come back. 2007 has been a wierd year for me. My Dad really sick - J with a new job ( yes, see we did not even blog about this ) - me loving my job ( still, I know it is crazy. 10 year anniversary for being in the same department this 1 Jan 2008 ). At least a bit - right? Posted by torjen at 11:32 AM. We had it all.

torjen: Barcelona
http://torjen.blogspot.com/2009/12/barcelona.html
Thursday, December 03, 2009. And well a bit of yesterday as well to brag about, really. Due to the fact that J and I had already packed almost 60 kilos of luggage we had no desire to bring any formal clothing onboard and to rent a tux for 130 USD per person did not sound very reasonable either. And IT WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. But today’s stop was Barcelona this was our second time in Barcelona and yet again we only visited for the day. The last mile we thought why not catch a cab, the walk to the ship w...

Saturday, November 28, 2009. Well, this is our second day in Rome, but today was the first day we were able to enjoy breakfast here at the Hotel. I can say the reviews about the breakfast were absolutely correct. This is more than you usually get in Italy for breakfast. There were at least four of five different kinds of cornetti the Italian mini-croissant, lots of cereal, fresh fruit, even bacon and eggs, mini rolls, ham and cheese I liked it very much. Nice assortment of pumpkins as well as. Aristocamp...

Sunday, December 31, 2006. Posted by torjen at 11:21 AM. Saturday, December 23, 2006. We have had a wonderful time last weekend at our friends D&D in England. I could tell you everything here myself - but D has pretty much summed it up on his blog Naw - can’t do that - have to write it myself here. The hotel that Jens and I had our wedding party. Well we got to London Thursday, D made a fabulous English breakfast with bacon, and scrambled eggs, tomatoes and all - very yummy. We took the train into to...

torjen: We had it all
http://torjen.blogspot.com/2009/12/we-had-it-all.html
Saturday, December 19, 2009. We had it all. Oh yes, Florida gave it all to us: sunshine, sitting outside in 75 F/24 C at 10 pm at night in shorts and t-shirt. And then it said goodbye with thunderstorms, torrential rain, spring flood and tornado warning yes we had it all and we still didn’t want to go. But we had to. Washing machine is running, T out shopping, me unpacking, well we are back, sort of. Posted by torjen at 6:17 PM. Paraiso Perdido – Paradise Lost. Bem-vindo a Portugal, bem-vindo a Funchal.
