Archipelago west of Bergen

Half a day off, specially on sunny Monday, was a very good idea :-)
Armed with a bar of chocolate and the guidebook we spent some nice hours on the coast west of Bergen...

Views from the top of Turøyvarden:

It was pretty windy...

and even the best (and the bravest of course!) boyfriend ever was afraid that his favorite cap would be blown away...

so he changed it to a woolen hat quite quickly.

Anyway, the wind was stronger than 10m/s (windsocks and anemometers on the side of the road :-)) and it was pretty difficult to hold the camera still. That is why the photo stiching in panoramas is so poor.
The view on the ocean... amazing :-)

Looking for positives ;-)

Today I've spent more than 2 hours in a waiting room of the Imigration Office, full of refugees and emigrants from many exotic countries and....their kinds... at least 4 per one mother, one louder than another: screaming, screeching, yelling... WOW!!

Anyway, even if my maternity will be now postponed even more, I have the final paper confirming my work/residence permit!!!

Now only 3 weeks of waiting for the final ID number and ....I will have to notify all the places where I have registered with the temporal ID number, means:
+ the telephone company,
+ my bank - new credit card will have to be issued!,
+ car registration office - new registration card for our car will have to be issued!

Well, the administration staff should not be worried about their positions, there are always plenty numbers to change, papers to update etc...

Ok, some positives now: after heavy rain the view from my office looks like that:

Bergensk dictionary:

Bossrom = garbage room :-)

Sunshine and first whitefrost

Bbbbrrrrrrr!!!! 2 degrees Celsius in the morning!!! And it is only begining of October...
The good news is: we had 2 days of sunshine in here :-) The bad news is: the Best Boyfriend Ever missed them (he went to PL) ;-) The next sunny days are forseen around springtime 2010!!! Black humor...
Anyway, I have taken very nice photo of myslef in the sun :-)
It was taken on the way to a hairdresser.
I found the address of a Polish hairdresser in the internet. It was just 3 blocks away from our house, on my way back from the office....
For this 40minutes that I've spent at her place I was feeling like being in Poland again: her kids running around on the playground shouting in Polish, her husband passing by the office, asking when the dinner will be ready (!!!! as he would not have hands) and a polish TV station in the backround showing 1564. chapter of a polish soap opera...

As usuall, the haitcut does not look as it looked on the photo, but that is quite international problem... or maybe it is just me?

Lazy weekend :-)

Finally, after several days of looking for furniture, buying and assembling furniture and finally unpacking boxes and suitcases, our flat looks more or less like ready :-)
There are still some holes to drill but.... we have time... It is a lazy weekend...:-]
