In the back behind the horse she'd, one can see the mountain I climbed today
Woke up this morning to Andreas singing to me "stå opp din gris" which when translated literally it means "wake up you pig" lol None-the-less, a beautiful sound hahahaha.
Had breakfast which was left overs from last night and open faced sandwiches.
Following breakfast, we went for a hike up the mountain. In the pictures,, you can see the farm aka cottage in the far back. Gry and I hiked by foot while Thea and Benedicte rode horses. Large, the new golden puppy walked with us, finding every puddle along the way to wade in. Along the way we nibbled on wild strawberries and saw beautiful wild orchids known as Orchis mascula.

When we returned to the cottage and puttered around for a bit, Thea and Kim Andrea left taking Beret with them.

We had to take a trip into town as I mistakenly brought my bills with me so I needed to send them through post. There was only five of us remaining, Andy, Gry, Andreas, Benedicte and myself so we went into Honefoss to do a bit of shopping and have a bite to eat at Burger King. Nothing to terribly different about the Burger king here. We returned to the cottage to find Margit waiting to go riding. Benedicte, Margit And Gry went riding on the horses while Andreas, Andy and I went on the ATV. It was great fun!! We ended our long day with strawberries and a glass of wine.
