Lakselv day two
Had to walk to the center of Lakselv to get some food earlier today along this route
Out into no man’s land
Heading the other way, for the center
Cross country skiing
The clouds being a bit “blown” by the wind hitting the mountain and going straight up.
Travelling to Lakselv
Leaving home yesterday in very nice wather. Very much fog, created some incredible scenery when passing Fetsund towards Lillestrøm. The iPhone camera is not capable of catching the light how it really was, but you kinda get the understanding I hope
About five hours in Tromsø, a bit less due to pretty much snow casuing a delay for about 40 minutes, but well down my friend Kent picked me up.
And we went to Anna and Andre to visit them, and I got to taste the Juleøl from Mack, a good one!
Departure to Lakselv was 22:15, but it got delayed and we did not leave Tromsø before 23:00, so I had plenty of time to walk around and enjoy Tromsø airport.
Winter at Lakselv, windy and cold.

When coming home becomes a bummer
At Gardermoen yesterday
Just for the record: I did notify Europark and also used “Hvem eier bilen“, but…if you are well down in your third beer somewhere far, far away…what can you do other then dread the moment you get back to your car?
Gingerbread house at work

Windy today
Down at Løken, one of the flagpoles has given up resisting the wind. Synne, the storm, is not hitting us hard, but still doing some damage here as well.
A walk in the frozen waterfall
Close to our home there is a small waterfall which has frozen now during the boxing week. Yesterday me and the kids took a walk in it. A lot of fun for all of us.

When driving my car becomes a competition
The Nissan web site offers services for you to know how your electric car is doing, among other – there is a service where you get to see your rank among other cars/drivers in the “region” (Not sure what this region is, whether it is Norway, or the Nordic or Europe). Anyhow, yesterday was a good day, up from 6978 to 6600, but when checking today…oh no!!! Down to 7528. Why of why??
My latest book – "Miraklet ved Litza" by Alf R. Jacobsen
Yet another book by what is, according to Elin, my favorite writer Alf R. Jacobsen about the first defeat on the Eastern Front for the Axis Powers. In 1941 the prepared the Operation Silver Fox planning to capture Murmansk, but this failed and turned into their first defeat on the new front.
Really enjoyed the book, especially the afterword by Sverre Diesen which made me understand the overall picture of all the battle details and at the end why the Germans did fail.
Locally produced beverages
This Christmas I have enjoyed locally produced beverages (they are even organic). Eidskog Øl’n with a hint of black crowberry and Eidskog Akevitt. I have enjoyed black croweberry lemonade last year when I visited my friend Kent in Tromsø, but never before as part of a beverage with alcohol.
