A Sunday on Fløyen

The weather were great today so we decided to visit Fløyfjellet (Fløy Mountain) today, its one of Bergen’s 7 mountains surrounding our city. We packed our bags with lunch and hot chocolate – we had a vote if we should take the funicular up or down, this time we went up with it and walked down. :)

It was a great trip, we spent some time in the Troll forest greeting the wide selection of trolls, climbed some bridges and visited a few playhouses. Can you spot the troll-faces on this photo?

Sorry about the quality on these ones, my camera acted weird in the special light, wish I had a real camera.

Visiting Stockholm

I visited Stockholm in Sweden yesterday to do some work, I also hoped to snap some photos of the beautiful city. But I guess many of you will recognize the selection of photos I managed to take, I had an intensive program at work so I didn’t get the chance to see much.

Do you remember a comment from a passenger on the bus in Speed the movie? “I’ve already seen the airport” – I felt like him. hehe

I hope I get the chance to visit Stockholm again soon when I have better time, I share my photos anyway – its what I saw of Stockholm. :)

A beautiful day at Furedalen

We went to Furedalen, Kvamskogen today to ski and we had a lovely day. Its only an hour drive from home, for me it is a pearl real near us. It was quite windy at the top though, we had to struggle a bit to get started downwards, but that was only fun. The sight were much better today, no mist at all and the sun peaked through once in a while.

I tried to capture the wind but that wasn’t easy :

The only downside with doing this is the price, we payed about $100 for two persons, I think that is too expensive but I guess it costs a lot to keep the alpine center in shape. Its kind of worth it though, I love going up the lifts enjoying the scenery and slalom creates a kind of freedom feeling.

Henning Olsen, a large icecream producer in Norway is launching a new product, I laughed when I saw it and had to share it. How long do you think til Apple calls them?

A small code comes with the ice-cream which you can use to download a free tune. There were no trademark registered in Norway on IcePod.

Forgot over 70000 dollars on the tram

1tram_in_goteborg_swedenI read in VG and Aftonbladet today that an old lady had forgotten her purse on the Gothenburg-tram and in her bag she had about $71000! Her family had discovered that she kept the money at home in a drawer and told her to put them in the bank immediately. She followed their advice but on her way to the bank she left her purse. Can you imagine the pain? She were so embarrassed that she didn’t tell her family about it until the day after. Then they reported it but it will be difficult to track the event on the security cameras.

In my opinion this is the family’s fault, she would still have them if they didn’t interfere. And Swedish banks doesn’t guarantee for more than $29000, so she would loose most of them anyway in these bank-crisis times where banks go bankrupt.
