Summer?

Nah, more like autumn really... When you need a waterproof jacket, umbrella and sunglasses in your bag when leaving for work, something is a bit odd... That would be the weather...

Been back for more than a week now. The weekend we spent fairly relaxed. Friday we went for sushi after work, and Saturday we slept in. Went for a meal at T's parents house in the evening, celebrating his upcoming 30th Birthday. Sunday we decided to go for a walk. Took T-banen up to Frognerseteren, and as soon as we stepped outside the door, the rain started. Typical! Despite that, we walked to Skjennungstua and back, and found one geocache on the way too.

Another week has started, and it's a pretty busy one. Went climbing last night, and today we had my side of the family over for coffee and cake. It was nice to see them. The rest of the week will be spent making cakes and celebrating Torkjel. Someone doesn't want to admit it, but he will be 30! :p

Back to normal





Well, it's five days since we got back from holiday, and life has settled back into its normal routine again.

The holiday was great! After spending a few days on Rhodes, we went to the two small islands Tilos and Nissyros for five and four nights. People were really friendly there, and we did a fair bit of walking and sunbathing. We also visited the massive vulcano craters of Nissyros. They were really impressive! See pics.

Wonder where the sun went though? Since we got back home it's pretty much been either overcast or raining. As long as it rains while I'm at work I don't mind though.


Another weekend is coming up, and apart from dinner at T's parents on Saturday, we have not got any plans yet.

Holidayblog from Rhodes island

It's all Greek! Well, my blogging page was when I entered it anyway. Good thing I know where the login link is. Got it back in a language I understand now :)

Well, here we are, sat on a roadside cafe in Rhodes. We have spent the day in Lindos, which is about 40k from Rhodes town. Great little town, but really really hot. Also met up with Sharon from The Outdoor Group in England for a drink. Haven't seen her since before I moved back to Norway, so it was great to catch up! We have also been down to the beach here in Rhodes town, testing out the seawater. No complaints there!

Yesterday we had a look around the old town, and if you ever come here, I advice you to go there. Nice town with narrow streets. must be a nightmare in the tourist season though, with the shop owners trying to drag you into every single shop, and lots of tourists bumping into you. But it was great now, not too busy.

Before that we spent a day in Iraklio on Crete and on knossos. Iraklio is ok for a day, but not that much to do, so move on after that. Knossos was good, but very hot.

Tomorrow we've got the day here in Rhodes town again, to catch up on some of the stuff we've missed, before we catch the boat i the evening to the small island Tilos. Looking forward to a few relaxing days there on desert beaches and walking around in the countryside of the island, before we probably move on the the vulcano island Nissyros.

Really not missing work. This is great! :D
