July 24th Last year I spent some time in August in Åndalsnes and had a truly epic mountain hike doing Romsdalseggen. This year we were going to do another climb, except this time we stayed at a friend's place, on a farm actually. It was really insanely cool. The previous day I stayed in Olympiatoppen sports hotel, where athletes go and train. It was quite nice and I had a nice walk around the lake called Sognsvann after dinner. Why did I stay in a hotel? I've had too many hotel points and just had to spend some before they expired in July so the hotel stay cost me nothing. It was a nice hotel but as usual service was really terrible. Hospitality is truly awful in Norway for some reason. I've never had service as bad as anywhere in the world. Unless you're counting Africa.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Day 4 - Rikjsmuseum, Museumplein
June 8th Spent the entire day at the Rijksmuseum, a national museum dedicated to arts and history. It's pretty big, so you can easily spend an entire day here. I woke up at 8am, checked out at 10ish and spent the rest of the day until 5pm (closing time) exploring. Finally it was time to catch the bus to the airport where I bought stroopwaffles, had dinner and checked into my flight.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Day 3 - Sandeman's tour, The Hague, Japanese Garden, Clingendael Park
June 7th Epic day of exploring Amsterdam and the Hague. I walked at least 26 km today (16.1 miles) which is more than the distance of a half marathon. There's a really beautiful Japanese Garden, only open 6 weeks in the year located in The Hague, a city about an hour's drive away from Amsterdam, so I paid a visit and did a lot of exploration.
