Holiday Week 11: Skudeneshavn
The last of the three towns on Karmøy is called Skudeneshavn. This is the place where we spent the most time on our little sightseeing trip to the island.

Skudeneshavn’s old town (Gamle Skudeneshavn), consisting of 225… Continue reading Holiday Week 11: Skudeneshavn
Holiday Week 10: Karmøy
On my last day of holiday, we were going home, but on our way home we did some sightseeing on the island of Karmøy. An island next to Haugesund where we had spent the weekend. We drove over the bridge and headed for our first stop called Avaldsnes. Avaldsnes is a village on Karmøy. King Harald… Continue reading Holiday Week 10: Karmøy
Holiday Week 9: Food
One of the most important thing for me when I am on holiday is to eat and drink well. Due to the virus there was no buffet’s, so the hotel breakfast was a bit reduced, but it was nice all the same. When I walked through town the first time, a nicely colored building caught… Continue reading Holiday Week 9: Food
Holiday week 8: Banken Hotel
Before we went to Haugesund I had booked us a room for the two nights at a hotel I fond online. It had good reviews and the price was reasonable so I was quite happy.

After about a week at the summer-house we got in the car and drove north to the small town of Haugesund. A little weekend away in a hotel is a nice way to end the holiday. And in addition to being nice for us it is also good in the present situation to be a… Continue reading Holiday week 7: Haugesund
Holiday week 6: Walking Idse
The Thursday was the last full day we spent at the summer-house. I spent it enjoying a good walk picking some blueberries and some wild strawberries. I was happy that my muscles was not doing too badly from the hike the day before so that I could enjoy both the berry picking and the walking.… Continue reading Holiday week 6: Walking Idse
Holiday week: Prekestolen Base Camp
After the trip to Prekestolen/Pulpit Rock, that I wrote about in my last post, we went down to what is called Prekestolen base camp. That has become like a cute little village. With both the old cabin and the new base camp that has been gradually built up in the last years. There is a… Continue reading Holiday week: Prekestolen Base Camp
Holiday week 4: Prekestolen/ Pulpit Rock
Wednesday of my holiday week we decided to go to a place called Prekestolen (Pulpit Rock in English). The rock is one of the largest tourist attractions nearby and even if I only live just an hours drive away and the summer-house is about 20 minutes away, I have never walked up to it. I… Continue reading Holiday week 4: Prekestolen/ Pulpit Rock
