Radøy

Couple of images from our Sunday's trip to Radøy. Great company, beautiful landscape and amazing Norwegian nature + pretty god weather = very relaxing Sunday :-)

In addition to walking we even were running to avoid goats and their monster horns
;-)  

May Summer last forever...

Folgefonna glacier

Long time no blogging... Too much work and time spent in front of the computer so I decided to avoid my laptop at home as much as possible.

Last weekend we went for a blue ice glacier hiking trip. That trip was a 30th birthday gift for TBBE so I was 'only' 1.5 years late with the delivery :-)
Anyway, we had a lot of fun! The Folgefonna glacier is only little more than 2 hours driving from Bergen but we stayed around Jondal for two nights camping. Veeery relaxing weekend I must say, with good weather and beautiful views :-)

 Way to Folgefonna glacier:

 Seek and hide ;-)

 The darker bits covering ice/snow are ashes that arrived in May from Island:

 A bit of climbing :-)

The glacier trip itself is definitely something to recommend for people who do not have any glacier experiences. It takes about 6 hours and you get all the ice gear. Our guide, Knut, was also pretty keen on telling facts and stories (also with a historic background) and share his experiences :-) Fun!!

Extreme Veko 2011

Too many things going on around stopped us from going to Extreme Veko 2011 earlier that on the last day of the festival. Anyway, we were still on time to see some of it:

- (pretty scary) wild water kayaking:

- spectacular airshow with a lot of orange smoke:

- skydiving:

- precise landing ... not always precise enough and then most probably very painful ;-) :

- emergency parachutes in action:

- a bit of synchro acrobatics:

But everything above is nothing compared to this movie (again, found by drTBBE):

Insane!!!
