London!!
Me and seven friends from Haugesund went for a five day vacation to London, GB, to relax and have fun. Here is a couple of pictures from the trip.
Inside the living room of the 100 m^2 apartment in Charles street. Everyone except me and Glenn.
Me, a fireplace and a bird
Thomas and Asbjørn on an escalator in a tube station.
A mummy statue at the British museum.
Chair Man Mao(1971) (hihi!) The window of a cartoon museum.
Cold and rainy in Bristol. Me and Thomas took the train for 2 hours to see a football match.
Me and Thomas finally find a place to rest and get dry. They had no food, but luckily they had beer and some pretzels :-P
Bristol City vs Norwich City!
Thomas under a very nice roof at the stadium
Thomas before we knew that we would have to run for 25 minutes to catch the train back to london by minus one minute. Haven`t been so tired in many years as we were when we finally got on the train without knowing if it was the right one...
Sunday morning, and it seems like I`m all alone:-) Nice and quiet.
Big ben and the houses of parliament!
..and me :-D
Tower Bridge
Beefeaters at the Tower of London
Lunch! Miso Ramen at a small resturant in Japan Town.
Mmmm!
Speakers Corner!
St. Pauls
Buckingham Palace
Green Park!
A squirrel eating in Green Park.
I got home that sunday at 23.45. Get a message from Thomas, who left London at 06.45, around 00.10, they've just landed. They had an ariport train break down and missed their plane and had to pay a lot of money to get home and it took as you can imagine 12 hours longer than expected... poor guys!!
Anyway it was an excellent trip and, I think everyone is looking forward to next years return.

Easter, Kongsberg
For the easter holydays Li and me drove from Stavanger to Kongsberg. We finished work on wednesday and started to drive on thursday morning. A very nice drive even though it snowed the whole time I was driving.
During the first night it snowed 45 cm!!!
The small birds needed some help collecting food :-)
Saturday: a lot of snow and sunshine.
The view from Blefjell
The view from Blefjell2
The view from of Blefjell3
I fell, and so did Li, my sister is behind my ski...
Sunday: A husky on top of the mountain, brought up by the Red Cross.
Li and my sister. Hehe, someone found some eighties ski clothing :-)
Think it is the first time someone has served sushi in jondalen
Family dinner!
