A journey is over. Let the journey begin!

It ain't even half-easy trying to sum up my past five months in New Zealand. It has been more a journey than a semester at a university, as I quite often found myself in a car or a bus going somewhere to do something.
A constant change of landscapes and scenarios passing by. A metaphor for how life can be I guess, where we're free to stop whenever we want to. At the moment I'm not very keen at stopping at all, but just keep on going. I guess that is what we did when we were in New Zealand; we just kept on going. We tried to fill every hour, and quite often it lead to some rather busy days. Worth it? For sure!







Do something small, do something big. Most importantly; do something you enjoy.

The summer is certainly affected by the NZ travelmania. Just after I got back home it was onto a late-night week shift at the good ol' work place, meaning that weekends got rather occupied. Last weekend was spent chilling out in Kragerø, getting some real norwegian summer. Good people, good beer, games and fun. I've got tons of photos of people from the party; but in these days you never know who wants to be "on the web" or not. So I'll spare the portraits for later. Meanwhile, here are some general shots of the mood, the early-mornings and the late-night sunset.



This weekend it's Oppdal for pre-race riding, and then it all goes tootilitoo. The following 3 weeks or so I'll be travelling a little less than 3500kms around south-, east- and west- Norway.
It goes something like this: Lillehammer-Oppdal-Lillehammer-Kristiansand-Lillehammer-Oppdal-Lillehammer-Bergen-Lillehammer-Siljan-Lillehammer-Bergen.

Home!

Got home on monday evening, and it has taken me a few days to get my body into the -10 hours and the everlasting summer-light. I'll be back soon with last words and photos from NZ, as well as updates from Norway. Now it's DH and norwegian beers that's on the agenda...
Thanks to all of you great Kiwi's for making my stay in NZ so good! You're all welcome to drop by the northern hemisphere!

Chur!
