Day 13
As it stated on the last post that I was departing to Bergen town which was about 40 minutes away by train from Dale. There was a Bruce Springsteen concert going on in Bergen as Bruce had been very well-known amongst Moiselle & her working mates. There were about 20 of them which had plans to crash the concert, so me & Doya fancied to tagged along but only to go to Bergen as the tickets for the concert would acquire a huge sum of our money. Our day started late, as we had to wait until Moiselle was done with her job. Nills took us and pick Moiselle & Meline at Dale and head of to Arna train station which was about 20 minutes away. Once we reached Bergen, Moiselle and her working mates all gather up at the Jacobs & all to have a dinner before the big concert.
At 8 PM we walked 20 minutes to the concert arena and Doya & I parted with them and intended to meet them again around midnight. So we had been walking mostly around Bergen gazing the eye-filling town. Bergen was not that big as you can cover one side to another for about 45 minutes. Norway's second largest city might be its most beautiful. Set on a peninsula surrounded by mountains and the sea, the compact center offers a tangle of crooked streets, picturesque wooden neighbourhoods and hilltop views. Late night the city were full with people as most of them just came back from the concert and we were there to enjoy the rest of the night or should i say morning.
Day 14
Again, today we did our resting and eating again. Moiselle cooked us meatballs for lunch as it was one of their common cuisine in Norway. Following that day, Moiselle had to sent her car for some compulsory servicing or she will get fined. Helped out Nills to move around some tables and foods as Aunt. Nor continued preparing for Dale Dagna which was like a yearly mini festival.

Day 15
Our day started early as we were heading to Voss with Aunt. Nora and Aunt. Fazilah which we met a couple of days earlier. Voss, about 60 KM away from Dale was the town where they had winter Olympics yearly. They even conducted skydiving ( how i wish i can do that one day). Aunt. Nora presented us around the pretty sight of the town as she did her shopping.
We left Voss about 2.30pm after having lunch. Voss was also known for their smoked sheep's head which they present half of the sheep's head on a big plate but we didn't have that hence it wasn't the season. Helped out Nills again for the preparation of Dale Dagna. Since our last night in Norway, Doya and I had spent our night with the family

Day 16
Waking up today was blue as we knew that we were going to leave town after embracing a magnificent time with the Tosse family. At 10.30pm we went to Dale Dagna and hung out at Aunt. Nora's section. She did her selling of Malaysian food every time this event was up. She had done a lot of Satey, Karipap, Popia and Mee Goreng. She was the pioneer of these Malaysian food in the town of Dale and had a splendid respond from the residents through out the years. the foods were fantastic except it was not spicy as it must be suitable wit the Norweigian tongues to get good bazaars.

After our goodbye, Moiselle had sent us to Arna train station as we went on our day travelling back to London. Arna to Bergen by train 20 minutes. Bergen to Haugesand by bus 3 hours and 15 minutes. Haugesand to the airport by another bus 15 minutes. Haugesand to Stansted London about a hour plus. We reached London at around 10 PM. We missed the first bus to central London, so we had to go on the next one. From there I had to pick my Uni-mate Azfar which would join me for the second half of my explorations. rested at Paddington at Jeff's place.
Day 17
Didn't had much sleep as our day started early to Oxford road early in the morning with Azfar. I didn't plan to do much shopping through out the trip but to my overwhelm everything was cheap as it was the summer sale. So I did bought some shirts and new shoes, as the old one was warned out. I had to pick up two begs at Mel's place (my cousin) but along the way I had lost my direction and we missed our train to Brussels because of lack of direction and tube difficulty due to it was under construction in preparation for the Olympics 2011. Luckily we went to the train station and told them our dilemmas and they asked us to come back once we are prepared. Doya went her own route back to Bristol. Again Azfar & I missed the next train after getting our traveling bag from Paddington. Had lunch nearby King cross station and we embarked for Brussels at 5 PM.
We charted to head Barcelona after reaching Brussels but because of the trains we missed, there wasn't any train possible that night. So our alternate plan was to crash Amsterdam and we got there just after midnight. It was Saturday night, and Amsterdam was completely in a different perspective that i had ever seen. Everyone was alive and kicking. We checked in a room with 10 people. Had our walked around the night life of Amsterdam before we head for our beds.

Day 18
Again I did not had much sleep as we shared the place with 8 others, so the room was always active till the next morning. As we checked out at 10 AM, we went to the train station to book our next destination. We had our night train to Munich but we have to be in Koln(Germany) by 12 PM. We left Amsterdam at 2.30pm to Düsseldorf as it was nearby Koln but we had to transit three trains. Amsterdam - Eidhohoven (Netherlands) - Munchenglabach (Germany) and finally in Düsseldorf for about 3 hours journey.
We had about 5 hours plus to explore the D town. Düsseldorf is Germany's fashion capital. This elegant and wealthy town could feel stiflingly bourgeois if it weren't for its lively old town pubs, it's position on the Rhine and the postmodern architecture of its Mediahafen. After having something to eat we went to the Rhine where the people hung out and we left for Koln at about 10 pm for our train to Munich. While waiting at the night the train, to our disappointment the train had problems so we had to take an alternate route which was to Zurich. Yes!!! next stop Switzerland!!!!
