Back home from one week of vacation up north. We flew to Tromsø last Saturday and was picked up by my cousin Andre. When walking around in the streets of Tromsø Elin suddenly started talking to someone who came out from a shop, first I could not understand who she knew in Tromsø, but it was my friend Kent with his two daughters Dina and Nora.

Later that evening we had to buy breakfast for the next day. We went to OBS, where Elin had to try this Step-Machine. Click “Read more” to read further and see more pictures…

The next day Andre, Anna, Elin and I went to Hella http://www.destinasjontromso.no/aktiviteter_turforslag.html where we tried to get some fish and also meet up with some friends of Anna and Andre. The weather was really nice, maybe that is why we did not get any fish..

The day after we took the fast boat to Finnsnes where Daniel picked us up. The next picture is from the waiting room in Tromsø.

At Senja we visited my grandmother and spent three days there. We got to travel around all of Senja, the two next pictures are taken at Flakstadvåg http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flakstadv%C3%A5g That day we also went to Grunnfarnes http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grunnfarnes Senja is amazing, Norway in miniature as it is known to be with high mountains, bogs and moors.

On Thursday we went back to Tromsø and stayed for two days at Kent and Kjersti. Kent was driving his friends car for a few days, Elin was really impressed, she wants one like this

Cool car

Today, before we went home by plane we visited Kents brother who is captain at “Arvid Nergård”. They had a few days stop in Tromsø, so we got to get on board a large fishing boat for the first time.
