The conditions aren't always ideal in summer,but today is a good day. Without the usual throng of winter skiiers to crowd him, L has more room to carve up the 1 .
250 kilometers north of Bergen lies Alesund, a pretty harbor town based directly on the sea that spreads across 3 islands. It too was originally built from wood but sadly was destroyed by fire in 1904. The rebuilding of Alesund was carried out in an astonishingly short time, with 391 buildings erected 3 years laters. The 50 architects who redesigned the town had a stong international influence, so decided to go with an Art Nouveau style.
Carlo and Luss have just arrived here and they are on the way to the harbor for a special sight-seeing tour. Like many 2 of the town, their tour guide is a local fisherman and knows these waters well. The town's waterways crisscross, making it easy to see the traditonal Art Nouveau buildings. It's 10 o'clock in the evening,but Norway's long summer nights mean tourists can get the most out of their day. Alesund is only 400 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle where the sun shines at midnight. Visitors can experience almost 20 hours of sunlight a day. And at this time of year, the sunsets are spectacular. Carlo and Luss's Norwegian voyage comes to a romantic end in Alesund.Yeah, Scuba Duba, skulkers goes all the way. At the extreme sports weekend in Voss, the last few contestants are fighting for victory in a swooping contest. Swooping is a type of sky diving where the aim is to jump out of a plane and get as close to the ground as possible without actually touching it. This requires you to pinpoint the moment on the course.
