Viagem do BB: July 2007

To travel thru Norway is to travel thru nature, and so we have done a really lot this last days
From Oslo we parsed the following places: Hoenefoss,Fagerness,Sognedal.Jostedalen,Jotunheimen and Geiranger, this last place I visited 50 years ago remembering a fantastic mountain road, which to day was much better, and here was our turning point.
The much of the time the weather has been in our favor, but to day is it raining ,so here I am sitting with my computer. Starting on our way south the dynamo stopped to work, so we have to enter a mechanic, the solution was a new dynamotor and to make a good economy I resolved to do the work myself a job I have done some times before, but this time it was specially hard, but ok it is done now, and when it started to rain we resolved to stop up for the night here at the workshop in Skjaak.
To morrow towards Sweden
Text to the following five photos:

We left Uddevalla after a good lunch and entered a big supermarket, coming out from there the rain pored down, it was late so we resolved to stay over for the night, and really the next morning the sun shined and we took of for Norway and before midday we came till Frederiksstad.My mother was born in this town, but went till Denmark in 1926, married and I was born in 1932. When the war ended my parents and I visited my grandmother and my mother s sister Margit ,this was the second time I went there, the first time was before the war to my grandfather s funeral , a second time I spend a holyday there together with my school friend Ejvind, yes the same we visited in Frederikshavn.
After living in Brasil I visited my aunt Margit twice, the last in 1965 (I think).
She as a widower made a testament in favor of The Blue Cross and my mother, and here 11 years after, I am here to remember something from the old days, and that was not so easy as I thought. I had to ask my way, and even it was not easy, the house was not there at all. The Blue Cross had sold the property to a construction firm, and now we found a lot of very nice houses on the land.
Upper sit the property the cemetery has grown bigger and more beautiful; we passed a night in it s parking lot, and this morning I found my families gravestone and arranged a meeting with the advocate ,who arranged with the testament.
Yesterday we moved to a place very near to the center and the river Glommen ready to pay a visit to the advocate Per Sunerud.The whether was nice even hot we took a walk along the river and took some photos, during the night it started to rain again.
I visited Mr. Per had a little chat with him; he confirmed that I was the first heir coming to him after passing 10 years.
I still have difficulty to get on the Nett, the wireless adaptor I have does not work, and an internet bar does not exist here in Frederikstad, indeed this town is a very dead place.

We are now in Udevalla,we entered here to find a library, very beautiful really, managed to send the pictures but not the text, found nearby an internet café, where we managed,and nearby a little out of town we found a real nice place to park for the night.
Near to Halmstad we staid two days with the rain poring down, but yesterday we saw finally the sun , and took of for Goteborg and further on to Udevalla.
Udevalla is really a very beautiful place, this morning we took a walk, se the photos.

We are in Sweden now. Yesterday we walked a lot round in Helsingoer took a look at the castle and went to a library to get our laptop on the net but without success After a lot of walking we finally found an internet café where everything was easy.
Getting on the ferry to Helsingborg was easy, and the weather was just fine, after a 50 km we found us a beach for the night hoping for still good weather, but oh no this morning it was cold and rainy ,better stop for a day to put the writing in order,

From now on everything just fine Thanks to everybody from Dora Finn 11-07-2007
What a story to tell!
After the party at the summerhouse Tage and his wife walked us to our motorhome, where we went to sleep. At half past four in the morning I waked up hearing voices, and sound of somebody touching the car,I pulled out of the bed and run to the door and thou the window I looked in the face of a girl about 13 years old, she hammered with here two fists twice wanting to brake the glass, seeing me she ran away very fast. I went out and noticed that the number plate fixed on the bake of the car was bend. I managed to bend it back again and went back; it started to rain, and continued so the whole next day.
Tage and his wife passed by to see us and we told what had happened during the night.
Next day the weather got better and we took of for the north of the island, we stopped for lunch in the town Frederikssund and here I noticed that the number plate on the front was missing, In our case this was really a problem, to go back and look for it and find it could give a negative result, there were two persons that morning and they may have wanted the plate as a trophy. So I started to think of an other solution: to make a copy of the one I have.
It was Friday everything closes early in Demark. We stopped up for the night near Noedebo.
During the night I thought better get in contact with Tage, who knows he could go there and take a look around?
In the morning we went to the Noedebo Kro for a telephone and a nice lady rented me one, but nobody answered, I called Arne his brother, and had more luck, told him the story, and we took off for the beech of Lisseleje,were we stayed one night in a very heavy storm.
In the local tourist information office they gave me an old telefonebook to help me finding what needs for the new plate.I discovered a place in a nearby town Helsinge where people could throw there old stuff away, hoping to find an iron plate to paint on, we found one,
I asked the caretaker to help me to a phone call giving her the number , she attended me at once, nobody attended. Thanking here I went off when she came running after me, Tage manage to return the call. And what news he had to give us? They have found the number plate in the grass nearby the place we stopped. And Tage told that they was on there way back to Copenhagen the next day, and that they could meet us at Hilleroed, fantastic.

Hoje esta chovendo e nos estamos estacionados com o BB perto numa praia em uma área cheio de casas veraneios,o tempo e para por o diário em dia.
Segunda feira o meio chara Finn Schnohr chegou para se despedir e mais tarde o colega da escola Arne veio para buscar a gente para jantar na casa dele.A nora dele Catia e Brasiléia, e a conversa rolou solta.
Terça feira demos chau para Britta,Bente e Kurt rumo a Roskilde 30 km de Kobenhavn.Aqui visitamos o museu dos navios vikings, muito interessante E ainda demos uma volta na cidade para ver o catedral.
O destino era a casa de veraneio do Tage o irmão gêmeo de Arne.E aqui encontrei me com seis colegas do ginásio, gente que faz mais que cinqüenta anos que não vejo.O tempo foi bom e deu para tomar um banho de mar. E hoje esta chovendo.
Idag regner det og vi står på en plads nær en strand i et sommerhus område på Sjællands Odde
Altså tid til at skrive dagbog.
I mandag kom min navnebror Finn Schnohr for at tage afsked og om eftermiddagen kom Arne for at hente os til middag i sit hus.Hans svigerdatter Catia er brasilianer, så snakken rullede løst.
Om tirsdagen tog vi afsked med Britta, Bente og Kurt og kørte til Roskilde for at besøge vikingemuseret, og bagefter en tur i byen og så domkirken.
Målet var Tages sommerhus, hvor jeg havde de glæde at få genset seks skolekammerater fra gymnasietiden, som jeg ikke har set i halvtreds år.Vejret var så godt at vi kunne bade i havet.
Og i dag regner det
