23. - 27. July. Nice days in Trondheim



After touring parts of Norway, we spent the last days in Trondheim. Auntie and Uncle were not home, so we occupied their house.

I spent a lot of time outdoor with Frida. We became real buddies, and even when I stepped on her tail, she just smiled to me. That's what I call a family wow-wow!

Funny, last time I was here, I needed help to get down the stairs. Not this time!

We had a nice day walking the city of Trondheim. And look at the weather. The only complain I had, was that the sun was so bright.

This is from the old part of the city. The old wooden houses are really nice.

At Bakke Bro.

Here we are at the most famous street in Trondheim, Nordre Gate. If you haven't been here, you haven't been to Trondheim,...says Daddy.

OK la...

Here we are looking down Munkegaten.

Finally, we had to go to the market place to buy strawberries. "Best strawberries in the world", says Daddy. Not sure I agree, but why argue....

Last overview of Trondheim, before going home to start packing. I was ment to be there in the picture with Mum, but had a nice sleep in the car, so they dropped waking me up. Nice parents... claim I am grumpy when they wake me up... Me?

21. - 22. July. Vinterbro, outside Oslo.

On our way from our cabin to Trondheim,
we spent 2 days at Vinterbro, outside Oslo, to visit my uncle and auntie.
A great place where I have a lot of space to play around.
In the evening, Kjell and I prepared for the barbeque.


While Kjell was preparing the fire, I had my appetizer, Norwegian made yoghurt with banana taste. I loved it!

The evening was very nice, and we enjoyed the company with Ragnhild and Kjell.

When I got bored, listening to them talking, I enjoyed myself playing.

And guess what, I found that my ATV was there as well.
Dad told me that Kjell will borrow the "brmmm-brmmm" for the winter,
so he can clean up the place and make it ready for my visit next year.

Kjell and Dad worked for hours on this cabin.
Dad was cutting a big hole in one of the walls where they want to fit a new window.
Sure it will be nice, but I didn't like the sound of it!


So, Mum and I enjoyed ourself at the nice sitting area at the barbeque place.

Next stop:

Trondheim!

(Before I go home to Malaysia!)

19. July - At Eva and Kamilla's place. + Video

Today we were at Eva and Kamilla's place.
You get the real summer feeling at their beautiful location.
Eva and Kamilla have a big nice playground.

And Kamilla enjoys the nice weather.

I have to admit, Eva is an expert both with the hammock and the ladder.

Look at her! Wonder when I can do the same.
Takes some practicing, I think.

18. July - A busy day...

Started the day, helping Mum picking up fresh drinking water from the well.

Then disaster struck;
I wanted to have a quick look at the ATV, just to check if it was OK.
Stumbled, and hit the Norwegian rock with my forehead.
Looked bad for a moment, blood streaming down my face,
but it was easily fixed by Mum and Dad.
A cleanup, a nice plaster, and I was all ready to go..!

Relaxed for a while, had some water,
then Dad and I had to go over to Bjørn and Inger to check on them.

I had not met them before, but you see, Inger had some nice stuff to play with,
so I decided they are OK.

Even followed Bjørn to pick up some water from their well:-))

In the afternoon we went down to the farm to have a look at the cattle.
"Elvis", a Norwegian Elk Dog, welcomed me with a lot of barking.
Scarry at first, but I soon learned he was barking because he wanted to play with me.
Look at this beauty. She is only a few weeks old.

I was a bit skepticle. Better stay with Mum.

And here I didn't like it at all. The cows were too big.

Nice cows, but get me out of here, please...
Didn't even like the smell of them...!

The farmer, Tellef, tried to ensure me that the animals are harmless.
Not sure I believed him.

17. July - Testing out the double bed.

Wow, the bed in the "boy's" room is cool.
Specially now that I can climb up and down all by myself.
Lot of fun, when I am allowed to play in the upper bed.


16. Juni - Eva and Kamilla visited me.

We all enjoyed breakfast in nice weather.

Eva and me having a dip in the pool.

I love to splash the water around:-))


Eva and me watching cartoons.


Eva is the biggest of the 3 of us, and behave like a big sister.


Kamilla is so cute, and although she is still a baby, she is really growing now.

Pappa holding Kamilla.

By the way, Grandma should not worry;
I am drinking a lot of water. Just as she has taught me.

15. July - Beaver at the Cabin. (Video)

Quite exotic, isn't it?
This beaver is building in the creek, next to the cabin.

15. July - Working on the ATV

Another nice morning at the cabin.
The sun is shining and I am served my breakfast outdoor:-))
Have to do some small modifications to the ATV today, as it seems like the engine is not well...
Wonder if Dad has the right stuff in his tool box?
Hmmm. Let me see... Think I got it. Lets try.

Yupp, working fine now.

13. July - The boys swimming in the lake. (Video)

12. July - The boys are here!

Morning!
Today the boys will be here, so I am just sitting here waiting for them to show up.
A bit boring to wait, but can play with my car while waiting....

Finally they are here, Marcus, Mathias and Steffen.

Mathias has a cool bike...

I can't wait to have a bike like Marcus. I am stunned!!

The boys are so tough. They swim in the lake.
Mathias find it a bit cold though.

Mum and I have a good laugh when the guys jumps into the lake.

In the evening Glenn and I enjoyed the outdoor life.

Mum, Dad and Glenn enjoyed the silence after I have gone to bed....
