My Little Norway
Midsummer’s Eve is a big deal in Norway. The day is to celebrate the brightest day of the year. People go camping or have BBQs at the beach. Midsummer’s Eve is about enjoying the endless sunshine. However, in Alta, shops close early, people leave work before time and the city becomes... Click...
We have lived in serveral places in Norway and have visited many villages, towns and cities. There is only one place we call home – Alta. This is, of course, because of family. Farmor and Farfar, Onkel, Tante and many cousins live in Alta. Christmas and Easter, Summer holidays and... Click...
I wonder why Svartnes is named after the colour black. There is not much black here to be seen in this little farming village in Troms. In the 1800s this place used to be one big farm housing a few families. Today it is off the beaten track and can...
This (long) post was a lot harder to write than I thought. It isn’t that Norway isn’t a great place to live but everything I found that is great is based on my own value systems. So, to get a well-rounded impression of why it is ‘great’ to live in...
Sometimes it is very hard to find foods in Norway that are just every day life in your home country. I recently discovered calamari in the stores. Calamari is eaten by the bucket loads in Australia and can be found at any fish’n'chip shop. Here octopus is only used for...

Leasa's BIG adventure!
My friend Marijke from Belgium picked me up from the Brussels airport after a quick 2-hour Ryanair flight from Oslo. We grabbed a lovely quiche for dinner and then hit the road for an overnight to visit Preet and the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Marijke drove a new company car...
Going back to Oslo is always a good thing, albeit the expensive $13 glasses of beer. Everything is familiar and no maps are needed. I still have friends that live there, a bank account at Nordea, and a favorite cafe that serves up the best chocolate croissant. This visit was...
Breakfast of Champions: Chocolate & Wine!

Lion's Head: A 360 degree view of Cape Town

CAROLIEN: LIFE AT 70NORTH.
Canberra, great whites and beachlife
I visited the Capital of Australia, Canberra last Friday. As expected from information in guidebooks, the city isn't very interesting. Many office buildings and political departments. Interesting though to visit the Parliament buildings and see the Government "in action". The political system is very British, not a surprise for a...
Exploring Sydney and surroundings in beautiful weather: the day before I arrived it was 41 C, but yesterday it was about 21 c and today somewhere in the higt twenties.Lovely weather and long days, not dark before about 21.00 in the evening. I really felt love at first sight for...
Next stop New Zealand, exploring parts of the northern island: Bay of island, Auckland and Rotorua.Driving in a rent-a-car with everything on the "wrong" side, I have travelled around about 1000 km, giving me an impression of New Zealand. To me it feels very British: a combination of Ireland/England/Scotland with...
Today I visited the capital of Fiji, not so very interesting as I knew already from other tourists, but good to do some shopping, and not at least enjoy the tour to Suva and back. There are so many things happening along the road: the island has one road following...
Yesterday I had the most wonderful day on this trip so far: I booked a so called eco-tour out in the inlands of the island, visiting a real village (not a touristy one)situated one hour from the end of the road. We had to go by boat on the river...
Bula! is the thing at the moment,for those of you who've never been to Fiji...Bula is the greeting her for hello and goodbye.Arrived early this morning after 3 days LA, nice town, but 3 days was enough for me: I've seen Hollywood, Santa Monica and the beaches and Downtown LA,...

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden to marry Daniel Westling
The historical, cultural and Royal event when Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden will marry Daniel Westling in Stockholm Cathedral (Storkyrkan), is of course to be mentioned since my blog is about Norway and the Nordic countries. I mean after all; Norway is Sweden’s closest neighbour and friend and so are...
Summer in Norway at Oslo Botanical Garden
Oslo University Botanical Garden, Norway’s oldest, was established in 1814 and administrated by the city’s University.
