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. When our room was ready around 12:00 the day we were checking in, I received a code on my phone… Continue reading Holiday week 8: Banken Hotel
Holiday week 7: Haugesund
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.

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

First stop was a very good sports outlet where I got a lot of needed sports gear. I also… Continue reading Holiday week 3: Jørpeland, Rosehagen
Holiday week 2: Cabin life
Last Saturday morning I got in the car and drove the 50 minutes to our summer-house. The weather was great it was really lovely and warm. A bit too warm for some. So after we got our things up from the car I just got in to my swimsuit and went for a good long… Continue reading Holiday week 2: Cabin life
Pentecost weekend 2
The rest of the weekend and up until today I have been spending the time at the summer-house. The weather has been magic. So I have spent the time, chilling, tanning, reading books, going for lovely walks and swimming in the ocean. Eating nice food and enjoying cold drinks and meeting other people with summer-houses… Continue reading Pentecost weekend 2
