Hi,
I'm planning to take a Flaggruten boat from Bergen to Stavanger in August.
The boat departs Bergen at 9:50 and arrives to Stavanger at 14:20. Is it possible (realistic) to get to the ferry to Tau which departs at 14:45 from the same pier? Do Flaggruten boats from Bergen to Stavanger usually arrive on time?
Thank you.

We need to stay overnight (literally - arriving midnight, departing 8am) for one night in August, en route to Lysebotn.

There are 5 in the group. 0 star would be fine, 5 on the floor of a single room acceptable - what's our cheapest options? Ideally somewhere near the port as we've got a lot of stuff to carry/drag onto that ferry!

Many thanks for any advice :-)

I've been almost two months in Stavanger attending a Management Curse and need to send back some stuff to my country (Venezuela) since I have excess luggage and by plane it can be REALLY expensive! Could you please help me to find the cheapest way to ship a box with books and some cloths?

We will be visiting Stavanger by car this weekend (tomorrow) by car. We will come from Grimstad. We are looking for a cheap accommodation possibility just for one night (Saturday night). We will be 4 or 5 people. Do you have any recommendations?

Hi,

What's the difference between Tau and Tou, are there the same place(port)?

And, 'Tou scene' --- what kind of place it is??

Thanks in Advance

Hi!
I would like to study at UIS but I haven't got any accommodation possibility. Could anybody offer me a website where I could find a room?

I have been looking for what sort of adapter I will need for Norway to be able to plug my electricals in...Any help or photos of the plug sockets will be gratefully appreciated

I have just read the costs of basic items in Oslo and was wondering if they are comparable with Haugesund. Having never travelled in Norway I was keen to visit but a little daunted by the costs suggested for Oslo. I'm looking for cheapish hotel and ideas for food prices, clearly an idea of how much a beer is likely to cost would be appreciated. The last question I had was about transport, can anyone advise me how easy it is to make the journey from the airport to either Haugesund itslef or alternatively to Bergen.

I will possibly be doing a study exchange in Stavanger at UIS and would like to know the easiest and cheapest way to get around the city ?
I am looking at Aug - Dec and also wonder what the climate is like in that period?
Are then any trips or sights that are a must while in Stavanger

We will be in Stavanger on March 16, apparently during the Wine Festival. Any recommendations for restaurants AND things to see - we will be arriving by boat, and taking a night train to Oslo.
Thanks in advance!

Anyone know where Skull Island Stavanger is? Can't find it on any maps?

Thanks

Please tell me the name of the destination of this resturaunt? I need to mainly know the name of the city.

I am loooking at traveling from Haugesund to Bergen and then coming back to Haugesund to take a flight out. I am thinking of going up by bus or train and coming back by ferry. What do you suggest - would that be a good way to see this part of Norway? Once in Bergen, we will take the Norway in a Nutshell - am I missing anything on this short 3-4 day trip - any routing suggestions

thank you

Does anybody know about inexpensive place to rent in June (and possibly July)
for 4 guys (eg. 2 rooms + a kitchen and a bathroom) ??
Any advice welcome!!

We will buy ScanRail. Can we use this pass for going from Haugesund to Bergen? If not, how much from Haugesund to Bergen by bus/ferry. Thank you.

We are flying into Haugesund at the end of July and wonder whether to book a hotel there or go straight on up to Bergen . Were not intending to hire a car so wonder if it is easy to use buses, trains and boats. If we should stay a couple of days around Haugesund can you recommend any small hotels in a reasonably quiet location. Also best way to travel to Bergen.Intend to do the Nutshell tour, Does this need booking at this time of year end july /Beg.August. What places should we visit and any small hotel guest house recommendations. 2 adults travelling %0 years old! We have 9 days in Norway flying back again from Haugesund

Hiya!

I'm looking to head out to Norway (beautiful and expensive apparently) at the end of July. Specifically to Lysebotn for some base jumping! :-)

I hear there are two ferries. A slow one and a 'fast' some. I have the timetables for the slow one (from SVG to Lysebotn), but there is also a fast one that can be caught from Lauvik, which leaves later in the day. Does anyone know where to find the new 2006 timetables for the fast ferry. I think it is run by www.kolumbus.no?

Old details...

Hi,

I'm going to Haugesund for 2 nights in January.

1) Can you tell me what are the interesting things to do or visit there? I only have 2 days to go around, and don't have a car. So, I'm just thinking about the city center area (anywhere within walking distance or short bus ride).

2) I heard about the Viking Village, how do I get there and is it worth a visit?

Thanks for your help..

Hi All
We are flying into Haugesund in late August for 2 nights and are interested in seeing Glaciers, pulpit or Preekstoel and Kayaking. We are really keen on spending a day up a fjord kayaking but cant seem to find anyone hiring kayaks out. We are not particularly fussed if we don't stay in Haugesund so if you can suggest a good campsite or B&B that is central to our interests that would be great. Local area maps anyting would be good.
Take care of yourselves and thanks for your responses in advance.

Hi. i'm gonna go to stavanger in may 13th with some friends. We're thinking about staying there for 10 days.
Is there any good places to go out on tuesdays or wednesdays?
is it beter to go to stavanger or trondheim? (nightlife)
thanks!

I was just looking at our Norway book and noticed the picture of the Pulpit Rock.
And now I want to go there! How do I get there?

The itinerary is: Fly into Bergen and be there for about 2.5 days before taking the norway in a nutshell tour. We are planning on flying from Oslo back to US after staying there for about 2 days. So we have an extra day in Norway - do we take an extra day in Flam as we were originally planning or do we take that extra day in the Pulpit Rock area?

We're going towards the Pulpit Rock right now - how do we get there from Bergen?
Thanks!

Hi,

Is it possible to travel around Hardangerfjord from Haugesund. We're flying to Haugesund in May and want to travel around Hardangerfjord by ferry but are struggling with the Norwegian ferry websites. Can you advise us on where we should visit and where we should stay. Maybe one or two stops and/or a cruise up the fjord.

Hello all!

My sister and I will be traveling is Sept from London to Denmark, Sweden, and finishing our trip doing the Norway Nutshell Tour to the coast. We are looking at flying out of Haugesund on the Ryan Air Flight back to London.

Is this a reliable flight that leaves daily like it says, or is there a reputation of canceling flights if they are not full?

Clients would like to travel by Flaggruten from Stavanger to Bergen on May 12, 2004. What will be the cost of the trip, they are seniors. Where do they make reservations and get tickets?

My wife and I (US seniors) will arrive from Kristiansand by train in Stavanger on May 10 and depart by ferry to Bergen on May 12, 2004. We want to stay at a moderately priced hotel or B&B near our transportation terminals. Have you suggestions for us, Thanks
