Powder snow in Røldal

The weather was not so nice in Røldal, where snow can get up to 7 meters deep, but recent snowfall provided excellent conditions.

Været var så som så i Røldal på denne turen, men med puddersnø om enn noe tung/ fuktig, så var skiforholdene nær perfekte. Røldal er norges frikjøringsparadis.

Undulating hillsides

A skiing resort scenery doesn’t get much better than this.

Dangerous Sauda

Skiing at a reckless speed, I crashed in a diagonally crossing gorge, luckily it went well but served as a reminder to take it easy.

I Sauda skiseter, senere på dagen fikk jeg meg en skikkelig smell, som minnet meg om at det er en god ide å ta det litt med med ro.

Mountain resort

I recently went to Gran Canary island with my parents, and travelled “unspecified”, meaning we could end up “anywhere” the charter tour company assigned us a place. We ended up a couple of Kilometer by the beach, but from this perspective it looks pretty close.

Jeg ble nylig med foreldrene mine til Gran Canaria, reiste uspesifisert og endte opp på denne høyden ett par kilometer fra Puerto Rico. Knall med sommer og sol, særlig på vinteren!

VW Polo - Rental car

We picked up a rental car at the airport, at some 188 Euro rate for 8 days, pretty convenient with some distance to city centre/beach, and my parents getting too old for long walks.

Vi plukket opp en Polo på flyplassen, og det ble mye bilkjøring på undertegnede, som aldri har drukket så lite, i Syden (nuvel, kanskje mer enn forrige sydentur med foreldrene mine,.. da var jeg vel ca 10 år gammel).

No need for rush

Going at a slow pace can be ok for a holiday, and life in general – that is actually one of the more odd lessons I have learnt in China.

Å ta det litt med ro på ferie er bare bra, og egentlig ellers også – det har jeg delvis lært i Kina, store folkemengder og bilkøer til tross.

Land crabs at sea

We had a 1 day overlap with my oldest brother and his children, that was just rounding up their holiday. Here’s his children, keeping afloat by grabbing my toes…

Vi hadde en dag overlapping med Per Martins ferie, som bodde bare 4 kilometer unna. Her er landkrabbene Jens Martin og Henriette som klyper seg fast i tærne mine…

Lillehammer - a selling name

Why would a shop in Gran Canary want to be called Lillehammer, Oslo, Stocholm (we found them all) etc.. to increase their profits. Picture from Mogan.

Butikk innehaveren har googlet seg frem til en kjent by i Norge, for å selge mer, ellers ingen tilknytning…

Dancing in the dark

For mum, all music at this place sounded exactly the same, due to her impaired hearing, but she and dad still has the rhythm and dance even more now than a few years back.

For mamma hørtes nesten all musikken på denne dansebaren helt lik ut, men rytmene sitter, og pappa er godt fornøyd med sin makker, som har blitt bedre til å bli med på å danse iallfall.
