Yesterday we went out to get some food. As it was the day before Valentines day and the restaurants are obviously on reduced capacity because of the social distancing rules it was quite full everywhere. We got lucky and got a table the first place we tried even without a reservation, but a lot of… Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day and Norwegian Mother’s Day

Wonderful weekend
This weekend has been a very good one so far. It started Friday with me picking up some lovely cocktail mixes made by one of my favourite cocktail places. Now that we can’t go out to enjoy drinks out, we can support our local places in this time and still have some really good drinks… Continue reading Wonderful weekend
A day off
This week we have mostly been following the government’s advice and spent most of out time at home. But I have also been taking advantage of the fact that the rain has decided to take a break for a little while. So I have been out every day for some good long walks to get… Continue reading A day off
Weekend time
Friday I was lucky enough to leave my home office at normal time so my other half and me could go for a little walk before we were going up to my mothers house to have a quiet socially distanced birthday celebration with less than 5 people. The food was good and the company nice… Continue reading Weekend time

On our way there… Continue reading Road trip 14: Voss
Road trip 13: Tyssedal
In the lovely area of Hardanger we had a room booked for the night at the small industrial village of Tyssedal. From the 19th century, Tyssedal has been a tourist destination, also know outside of Norway. European nobility traveled to Tyssedal from early 1800, and even Keizer Wilhelm visited several times. In Tyssedal you can… Continue reading Road trip 13: Tyssedal
Road trip 12: Hardanger
After having driven over Hardangervidda and visited Vøringsfossen, we hit the fjord and the area called Hardanger. The area here is beautiful, very Norwegian with the fjords and mountains. Just like a lot of the fjord areas building roads has not been the easiest, so the national tourist roads here is a tourist attraction in… Continue reading Road trip 12: Hardanger
