Thon Arendal Herregaard Hotel

On our way at last! Having held the true destination of the trip a secret for my wife for quite some time now, she still has not a clue that we are not of to the Canary Islands. We cannot wait to see her surprised face when we tell her we are off on a cruise in stead. Still a bit wee early and thus tired, we are off to the airport in Kristiansand an hours drive away.

... get up?" "No - if you please I can shave you in bed." Whereupon he produced from this pocket a silk handkerchief, tied up; in the corner of which was a napkin, containing razors, a small brass-box for soap, and a phial bottle of hot water - all of which he used adroitly. When he had performed the operation, I pointed to the money still lying on the table, and told him to pay himself out of it, which he did. I dressed, and now found that to bring coffee to travellers in bed is a ...

... term "lemming" is often used in slang to denote those who mindlessly follow the crowd, even if destruction is the result. In fact, the behavior of lemmings is much the same as that of many other rodents which have periodic population booms and then disperse in all directions, seeking the food and shelter that their natural habitat cannot provide. (The Australian Long-haired Rat is one example.) The actual reason for their ...

... Also with regard to eating, the cabin is surrounded by wild strawberries, rasberries, blue berries and cherry trees - so we go picking often and have my favourite dessert: berries and ice cream. Ice cream here is very yummy and one of the few things that is not too expensive. I still get a shock every time we go to the supermarket just for basics. Bota is a very social place, Christian´s family have a number of cottages here and many generations have ...

Well, finally on Dec. 22 I got back home to Kristiansand. It's been really nice meeting my friends and family again, I even played a concert the 27th together with my brother and a hip-hop group called Darkside of the Force. The weather is almost unusually cold and the whole city (and country) is covered in snow. Even though it's freezing, it's kind of nice with snow during Christmas.
