Summer

Every summer I spend some time at our summer house by the coast.
It's where mum grew up, and it's located in Solund in Sogn og Fjordane.
Solund is a beautiful place, and is actually no less than 1700 small islands.
This is my paradise, where I find peace of mind from stress.

Just me, waiting for the ferry

Stunning view from the terrace

Shopping by night

Every year the shops in Bergen have "shopping by night" one night in June.
That means that the shops are open till after midnight, and they always offer good discounts.

The weather yesterday was fantastic, clear blue sky, sunshine and 22 degrees celcius. A perfect summer day. To top off everything, Bergenfest started with live concerts at Bergenhus Festning.
The whole city was packed with happy people. They were shopping, enjoying good music, and relaxing with a good meal and beer at the restaurants.
What an experiance this must have been for the tourists!!

We went on a stroll to town at 21:30, just to take in the buzz.
Meeting lots of friends on the way - and enjoying summer in beautiful Bergen.

On our way home we walked along Bryggen, and spottet a huge yacht.
Of course we had to take a closer look at "Lady Kathryn V", and she was huge!!
The website informs that she's 62 meter long, and avaliable for rent for no less than €450.000 pr. week!!!

Here are some photos:

Huge!

Of course you need a little speed boat as well :)

Statsraad Lehnkuhl

Every year in May, I am one of the lucky ones who gets an invite to a happening on board the beautiful ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl. The ship is run by a foundation, and to secure the economy, they offer mini cruises to businesses every year. It's a 4-5 hour cruise with entertainment and food (schrimps and herring).

The ship is built in 1914, and is still in a fantastic shape. Hands out to the foundation for taking care of surch a treasure. You can get more information on the ship here

This year, the weather was fantastic. 26 celcius, and sun from a clear blue sky. I've been to these mini cruises for 14 years now, and I think this is the best weather we've had - EVER!!

On this particular cruise the boat is filled with happy and exciting people, so there's always room for a bit of networking. Wich also is a big part of these arrangements.

Fantastic weather

Fantastisk helg i vakre Bergen!

Denne helgen har vært helt nydelig i Bergen.

Vindstille, knall blå himmel og sol.

Rett og slett en vitamininnsprøytning av de sjeldne.

For meg er tulipaner noe som virkelig kjennetegner VÅR!
Fargesprakende og vakre!

Tulipanene snur seg mot solen

Jeg er så glad for at jeg kan nyte solnedgangene fra stuevinduet

Himmelen står i brann, utrolig vakkert

Denne utrolig vakre månen hang som en glødende sigd over Askøy
