Hotel Kong Carl Sandefjord

... I have ever seen! It was freezing cold in there and I only felt colder when we went outside again into the wind. It was an awful day, temperature wise, and we were dressed lightly for some unknown reason. I guess we hoped that the day would warm up, which it did finally at about 4pm. We found a park that was decorated with the busts of famous people, mostly composers, and we ate lunch on a bench in the sun which peeked out of the clouds only ...

... and the viking boat shed. Would highly recommend the whaling musuem with skeletons of whales (including a 23 m long Blue Whale skeleton which is reported to be the largest whale skeleton on display in the world) and some less appealing but still interesting Whale foetuses but there is some explaination in english. I then made the walk up to the ruins of Tønsberg castle caused by the Nordic War against ...

... the campsite i was going to use was now abandoned and the nearest one is in the nearby town of Stavern. With a few hours to kill in Larvik with rain getting persistantly heavier waiting for the next bus. I thought buses i my home village was bad with only ten a day, here there is only six here to make the 7 mile trip. There is a few things to see in Larvik Torv (centre) with a nice fountain made from the famous ...

... the apartment complex, however, it was no problem finding an unsecured active network and that's how we got by with email, updating this blog, Skype and more. We said our good-byes and look forward to our next visit. They have a wonderful and close family. It is such a pity that they are so cut off from other brethren. She will likely not be able to go to any Feast this coming fall. She is looking forward to the ...

... It's not finished, but the roof structure is up and the walls are mostly filled in, so it looks pretty good already. They also painted one of the walls in the living-room area white and added some new lights, so the whole area is less dark. Joe's mom has decorated the house with Christmas things, so it's very cozy inside. There is a little nisse outside to greet everyone who comes to the house. We had pancakes with blueberry jam and sugar for dinner tonight and ...

We hit the BadeRock festival in Norway and had an amazing weekend at the Sørhaug residence.. Friday we had a pirate before party and saw a few concerts, Per came in a Phantom suit and game everyone a good laugh. Saturday we just got wet and had fun. Norway is the best!

Yesterday was interesting. I worked the Friday morning shift, and we drove one of the residents home to visit his mom. It was fun, but I was really tired for some reason. I fell asleep a few times on the ride there. On the way back, as we came in near Andebu, a storm hit. Last time it rained hard was when I was coming back from a hiking trip with Ivar, and I was astonished by how hard it came ...

... I thought about taking a picture, but decided I'd rather not disturb the snake too much. Ivar said it was the first one he'd seen in that area. Anyway, eventually we made it to the cabin. It began to rain a bit, so we made a little shelter out of Ivar's Swedish army tent and a borrowed ladder and table. The view was very nice. After our snack we went to see a "seter" which was also very neat. Apparently it's very common for the ...

Well my friends, I've made it. I'm currently sitting in my room for the next month and 1/2: a small camping trailer parked just outside the front door to Jo-Petter's house. I survived the flight from Seattle to Amsterdam during which we flew far enough north that, although we should have been flying during night time, we never left the reach of the suns rays ...
