I would love to own one of these! They are coming out in February 2014. A bit expensive. Maximum speed 35 km/h. As an all terrrain vehicle it looks absolutely stunning in these youtube videos.

Gowalla

I've just joined Gowalla. Whether or not it will prove useful or entertaining --- I have no idea as of yet. I'll test it out over the next few days.

Geiranger Trip

These are some of the photos that I took last weekend when I was in Geiranger , Norway. The absolutely stunning waterfall is Storsæterfossen .


Overlooking the Geirangerfjord.



 


My second cousin, Trond. admiring the waterfall from inside it!  

Quite steep, slippery and wet, but most definitely worth it. 


All in all a great trip - definitely recommended

Geocaching

I have just joined geocaching.com. Great fun. Finally I have a new hobby: Treasurehunting! I used the Geocaching application on my iPhone and that took Åshild and me to the cache near PST the Norwegian Police Security Service, In Nydalen. It was a lot of fun searching the area next to the secret police. Suspicious activity is a lot of fun...;-) No harm, no foul! I wonder if there are any caches near the American Embassy?

Here is Åshild signing our names.

Aaaaaahhhhhh! TREASURE!

That was fun, so I went on another treasure hunt today. Found two more caches.

An amazing feat
