Lillestrøm-Seoul

24 hours of travel and we arrived in Seoul. The trip went problemfree and we were giddy with hapiness to finelly roam the streets of Seoul.

11 Hours flight to Bangkok, and then 5-6 Hours flight to Seoul. And then an short hour by taxi to Jongno Makers X Pretty Hotel.

6 degrees and pouring rain – it was like being back at Gardermoen 🙂

And what luck . Almost as if it was planned (!?). 100 meters from the hotel there is a microbrew craft beer pub. Roo Craft !

Great beers, besides the pale ale.. that was a bit weird, weisen was a winner. And chips made from cassias, or something like that.

We even got to try some Korean bbq before jetlag got us

Comic Arts museum Brussel

This museum is downtown Brussels and have lots of interesting and fun tings to see. We knew Tintin was belgian, but that Lucky Luke and the Smurfs also came from Belgia was a suprise. And of course there was a lots of newer stuff as well. The history of comics was outlined in a easy and fun way. This museum has lots for both comic fans and people like us who just read comics randomly. The museum shop has an impressive amount of comics in many lanuages. And plenty of cool fugurines. It also has a comic library. Well worth a visit.

La familia Sagregada

Amazing and spetacular, it’s worth going to Barcelona just to se this basilika. Tickets can only be bought online and it is wise to be early as they sell out.

The Windows on the side the sun comes in the morning has cold colours. And the Windows on the other side, Werenskiold the sun comes in in the afternoon has warm.
Close to the top the Windows lets the natural light in witch adds to the illusjon of a forest and giver the room natural feeling of space and nature.

Barcelona has several microbreweries and bars that serve a varaity of craft beers. There is vide selection of different types. And we have tried as many as possible.

La Cerversera Artesana. Superb microbrewery with amazing beer and good pub snacks. The brewer serves beer and can tell you all about the beers and anything Else you might be courios about. Barcelonas first microbrewery (26 years osl) is a must beer pit stop for all who loves beers. Of all the beers there, the Oyster Stout was awsome.
