A little roadtrip - part 2

I just have a little BMW, so my cousin was lucky enough to lend me his Opel Vivaro for the trip home. That meant I could fit at least three games, and I only had two in there..

I have a fighting game waiting for me in the middle of no-where, and a recently purchased Creature from the Black Lagoon on the way home, so I figured I could pick up one of them.

My wife and I had seen Cadillac Diner on a TV show, and that was pretty much halfway to our next destination, so we decided to stop there for food.

What a great place! Not that there are many diners in Norway, but this was quite authentic. It's obviously a converted gas station, but the atmosphere is wonderful, both inside and outside. And the food is good, too.

I met the owner, who was a great guy! We started talking about his jukebox and other memorabilia, and I really appreciate his efforts to keep this diner as authentic as possible.

I played a couple of balls on the Harley Davidson pinball, but it really doesn't appeal to me. He also had an Elvis, but I've played that one enough to know that it's not for me.

Who can say no to a good burger and Coke from a glass bottle?

There were some sitdown cabs and a pool table in the back room.

Sadly, I couldn't pick up the fighter, as the seller was working the whole weekend, and it's way too heavy to move it by myself.

My next option was to pick up my Creature, so I called my friend and agreed to visit him two days later.

We were staying at my sister's house for the weekend, and we were driving down from the mountains towards the coast. The road was steep and narrow, but the scenery is beautiful!

We finally arrived in my sister's home, and I must say that I envy the view from their living room window..

I tried calling my friend both saturday and sunday, but all I got was his answering machine. Unfortunately, I never reached him, so I never got to pick up my Creature from the Black Lagoon. It made me a bit sad, as I'm not very often in this area, especially with such a big car.

I finally reached him online a couple of days later, and he told me that his wallet and cell phone was stolen the very same friday night that I talked to him. Bad luck...

I'm back home, and so are Judge Dredd and the Star Wars Trilogy. They don't look too bad, actually. I will be covering each of them in separate posts, but here are some previews.

Just "a little" wear around the flipper buttons, there... Arghl.

How not to break into a cash box.
