Geiranger

Today we went to the Geiranger Fjord, apparently it is the 3rd most important place in the world to visit as a tourist! As pictures say more then 1000 words and also I am too tired to write a 1000 words... here come the pictures :-).

My family is here!

While the men are out to look at fish the girls are staying home looking at family pictures :-)

Hello everybody,
so here it goes, after 8 months of marriage we have realized, we are terrible at writing news letters and the very convicting evidence is the absence of any newsletter in any form or shape. So we are trying the blog option now...this blog will for now be in English as this is the language that we do communicate in, but in the future, who knows, a German or Norwegian blog might sneak in there.

So for starters we want to show you were we will live. This beautiful island called Vigra will be our home for the months to come and we will move there this week. It is the island where Erlend grew up and we are so excited to live close to our Norwegian family.

We hope to be able to show you pictures of our new home soon.

-Anne-
