The Trot Blogs team welcomes aboard our newest contributor, driver Brad Forward

.

Forward will send updates from Norway on his experiences before and during the 2009 World Driving Championship. Here's his first report.

It's 6:30 here in Norway and we finally stopped for some Peppes pizza after a very long day of travel and custom line-ups. We arrived in Bergen at 9 this morning and finally got to the hotel. While we so wanted to sleep we were too excited to go and walk the streets of this beautiful city. We have been walking and just taking in the sights all
day. So far it has certainly been a breathtaking day.

Tomorrow my plans are finding someone to translate the program I got today and get
a Norwegian hair cut. Everything is so different here, from the language to the local food. Our journey tomorrow takes us to a local mountain.
