Die Zeit in Tjome verging schnell und am 6. August machten wir uns schließlich auf den Weg gen Norden. Nach einer Fahrt durchs malerische Gausdal und einer Übernachtung im Motel am 7. August erreichten wir am 8. August morgens unseren Ausgangspunkt für die Wanderung in den Rondane-Nationalpark. Nach einer dreistündigen Wanderung erreichten wir schließlich die Rondvassbu-Hytta, wo wir im Schlafsaal im Keller noch vier Betten ergattern konnten. Die Hütte war am Wochenende insgesamt mit 100 Wanderern überbelegt... Während Anton mit den Kids am Fluss spielte, erklomm Andrea am nächsten Morgen den Gipfel des Storronden (2.138m): die Mühen des Aufstiegs wurden mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht belohnt. Am Freitag erreichte Anton gegen Mittag den Gipfel des Veslesmeden (2.015m) während die Kids heute mit Buchstaben aus Gras Namen bastelten. Und am Sonntag stand der Abstieg zum Parkplatz auf... read more

Hello again, These days are days of preparation for the long journey to India. It has been determined that I must give away or throw away all my belongings.

Thank you Holy God for this support and love. Lucky for me I worship the Eternal living Christ who made the worlds ... read more

We decided to call into the Kristiansand Zoo & Amusement Park before getting into the town as we wanted to see some Nordic animals, just in case we don't see any in the wild. All we have seen so far was one female elk. The park was huge. It had an Asian, Nordic, African, fishing, local farming, jungle, pirate and rides and games sections. We saw the lions being fed and then the Nordic animals (Lynx, wolverine, wolf, fox). We were there for over 3 hours but I am sure some of the families would be there all day as there were water slides and other rides. We saw lots of little ... read more

Sandefjord to Flekkefjord - 7 June I am running behind on my blogs so will be only posting photos rather than a longer description of what we actually did. However it is suffice to say that the southern coast of Norway is beautiful. Yes you might get sick of hearing me say this (not really) but it was beautiful. The areas we traveled through are known for their fishing industry, including whaling (which they have now stopped). We also visited the most southern town in Norway as well as the most southern point.... read more
