photos, photos, photos!!!

got back from my trip to the north last monday, so here are my photos of my most relaxed 10 days of this autumn.

first this was saturday, taking a walk around one of copenhagen's lakes














saturday night, getting ready to party














having fun at mexi bar!












































































sunday afternoon, time for a long walk in the woods near klampenborg














this was just one of the first of the many deer we saw there

















































































monday afternoon, enjoying a piece of cake after a day of hardcore shopping






































tuesday night @ stina's














we'd been shopping in malmö that day, both of us bought this nice looking book














friday morning in the train, on the öresundbridge to sweden














halmstad! had only been there during the summer before, it was just lovely to spend a sunny winter day on my own there














tylösand, where i spent most of the afternoon and even spotted some wildlife



















































































































bye bye summertown, until next time














late friday afternoon i took the train further north, to göteborg where linda was waiting for me. we had a lovely dinner at her parents that night, including linda's brother, girlfriend and their newborn baby albin...i was in love!
saturday we did some shopping, linda had a haircut and then we got ready for the night














we had a party at linda's friend jonna's place, we had a lot of fun and there was lots of hugging with dog kerstin :D







































































later that night we went to gretas and continued partying there














sunday i spent most of the day in the train back south, with a major hangover.
was back at stina's around 18, we had a lovely dinner (once again), watched a rented movie and just had another relaxed night.



















monday morning i had to get up at 4:45 to get to the airport in time for my 7:00 flight...was back home with binkie around 10 later that morning, so now my last trip for this year had officially ended :'(

back again

came back from oslo on friday afternoon, said my goodbyes to the guests at the luggage belt (my backpack came out quickly this time) and then took the train...home!
had a lovely relaxed weekend again...something you really need after this job...slept a LOT too :)

after my last blog we travelled from stavanger to kristiansand, a wonderful route along the south coast of norway...one moment we saw sand strands and little dunes, they then changed into rocks and before we knew it we were in the middle of some fjords again!
the road was kind of narrow there at some points...which is no problem until there's cars from the other side coming...svein had to work hard to get us and the bus safely over all these fjords, which resulted in a big aplause for him in the end of the day when we arrived in kristiansand. in kristiansand i took the guests for an hour walk through town before my day was officially over, it's a lovely town though not as nice as stavanger.
from kristiansand we continued to oslo on thursday, we visited some lovely towns along the coast in the morning (grimstad & arendal) and then went to porsgrunn where we visited the porcelain fabric. to be honest i'm not much of a porcelain girl but it was an interesting guided tour we got there, cool to see how they make everything & hand paint some of the stuff.

late in the afternoon we arrived in oslo, same hotel as week before so that was easy. on my last night in oesloe i met up with jiska again...first plan had been to party...hard :P but that was a bit too much for me, so we just went for another drink instead...was lovely again, we had a good laugh about...everything actually haha! takk jis, det var greitt! ;)

and then it was friday morning and i packed my bag for the last time for this trip!

and here are some pix of my last 2 weeks in the north:
