Per Platou
When we met Per Platou during our first visit to Oslo about one year ago, it was at the exact same spot as today. Teddy's Soft Bar, one of the oldest bars in Oslo, kept its original 50ies interior, including the Wurlitzer, that someone just fed with coins to bring back the old times with some Rock'n Roll. Per Platou, who works as an artist and curator, was one of our first contacts in Norway and helped us a lot with finding interesting people and places. He is the coordinator of PNEK, a network for artists and organisations working in the fields of electronic and interdisciplinary art.

Avalanche
An evening sky view in Oslo. Elisabeth Nesheim from our team in Bergen just sent us a message, that there was a large rock avalanche by Arna this morning, due to massive falls of rain. Arna lies just outside of Bergen along the route we drove yesterday. Avalanches are not common in that area, and the whole traffic between Bergen along the E16 had to be re-directed.

Oslo
We arrived at our destination Oslo. After three weeks of Finnmark and small cities, this is like a thunderstorm for all senses.

There is light at the end
Between Bergen and our current location, we counted 46 tunnels, the longest one is about 24 km.
