Tejeda, mountain village

Tejeda, lies not far from Gran Canary’s highest point, which is almost 2000 meter above the sea level. The climate from beach to peak is completely different.

Fjellbyen Tejeda var en idyllisk perle, til tross for kaldt vær, og at fjelltoppen som rager nesten 2000 meter ofte er innhyllet i skyer og regn.

Parador @ Cruz de Tejeda

On a top covered by a pine forest, the majestic Parador hotel towers.
På toppen av Cruz de Tajeda ruver det majestetiske Parador hotellet.

T-shirt on, T-shirt off

It was quite cold when cloudy, and very warm when sunny. The clouds were passing by in high speeds, but staying at the Motel poolside I could undress at the right moments.

Det var ganske kaldt når det skyet over, og stekende varmt i sola. Skyene (og bygene) passerte i stort tempo, her ved bassengkanten, ila ett solglimt.

Normally with a quiet sea

Normally this sea would be perfectly calm, but we had a storm passing by that was one of the worst last 12 months.

Vi besøker et ektepar fra Lillehammer, hvor utsikten normalt er et blikk stille havspeil, men ikke akkurat slik denne dagen.

Happy new year!!!

What do you want for the new year? Let's hope for a lot of LAUGHTER and an
end to SLAUGHTER, the contrast is stark, as this installation outside the
Nobel Peace center in Oslo illustrates.

Hva ønsker vi oss til nyttår? La oss håpe det blir mye latter og en slutt på
nedslaktning av folk, kontrasten er sterk, og på engelsk skiller bare en
bokstav, mao en hårfin balanse. Det blir viktig å trå rett i 2011.

WE were the fireworks

.. as we poured this 3 liter champagne bottle into the stomachs of the group
of 10.

Denne nyttårsaftenen drakk vi fyrverkeriet, en 3 liter champagne flaske
Thomas hadde med seg.

The turkey is ready!

Despite some hesitation for having a New Year's party in 2010, my brother
delivered a top notch dinner.

Til tross for nøling ift. nyttårsfest, så ble resultatet desto bedre, bror
leverer nok en gang til terningkast 6.

Best before - christmas

My brother's Christmas tree withered fast, as we were away for a week
without watering it. Christmas (trees) definitely not last till Easter as
some say.

Tor Anders's juletre visnet raskt, ettersom vi forlot det en uke uten vann
og tilsyn. Jul(etrær) varer iallfall ikke til påsken..

A remarkable sunset

I was afraid I would be bored as I was driving alone from Lillheammer to
Oslo, but I was too spellbound by a breathtaking sunset.

Jeg var red jeg skulle kjede meg når jeg kjørte fra Lillehammer til Oslo,
men jeg var fullt ut underholdt med en fantastisk solnedgang.

Wilbert with his fiancée Tonje

After studying Chinese in Shanghai with me in 1996, Wilbert returned to
Benelux and happened to find a Norwegian girl at his university in Holland,
that lives only an hour drive from my parent's home in Lillehammer. It's a
small world, any many international relationships thrive.

Etter å ha studert kinesisk med med i Shanghai tilbake i 1996, så dro
Wilbert tilbake til Benelux og fant ei Norsk jente på universitetet sitt i
Nederland. Tonje's barndomshjem er bare en times kjøring unna mitt, så da er
det enkelt å besøke. Forlovelse har det blitt, spennende år i Dubai, og
planer om flytting til Norge.
