Central Norway is the coldest place in Europe. Contrary to the apparent logic, moving further north you will find yourself within the range of warm Mexican current, which makes Barents Sea and Norwegian Sea never freeze. Therefore the air temperature has also relatively small fluctuation over the year. In Gålå situation is different. The temperatures I experienced here during winter stayed for most of the time in the range of 10 to 30 degrees below zero. Sometimes there were warmer days and at times also colder. For more than a half of January the mercury column had never climbed above level of minus 30 degrees. The culmination occurred when for several days we have had 40 degrees below zero.

Let's take a look at the map of the world. The Central America is almost negligible piece of it. Despite the modest size it is a very interesting region. No one would suppose that such a small area would bring so such diversity. Belize, a country with beautiful beaches of the Caribbean is probably the most relaxed place on earth. Time goes by at most at a half usual pace. Guatemala surprises with the beautiful nature, pre-Columbian monuments and a strong local tradition. Followed by Honduras where we would visit colonial haciendas, coffee, banana and other exotic plantations. El Salvador is a country literally not existing on the beaten tracks. So are nonexistent the tourists, which lets you more easily blend into the relationships with sociable locals. A colonial architecture combined with carefully cultivated tradition, brings in endless parties in body-moving salsa rhythms. That is Nicaragua. Let's head for the conquest of Central America!
