Been here a week

We are getting around in Harstad by bus and on foot, learning about where busses go and don't go, and getting to know the area.

Taking a people ferry, we got to see most of the surrounding islands, plenty more dolphins and some spectacular views. We also got to see our house from the seaside...

Our apartment building seen from the boat.

Climbing the hill opposite our house gave a good opportunity to overlook Harstad.

Our house is in the red circle

The lilacs (seringen) are in bloom here at the moment, and everyone has them in their gardens, so it smells lovely everywhere.

Oh, and we found our challenge for this winter: jumping from the public ski-jumps...

dolphin!

Dear family and friends,

We arrived in our new hometown a couple of days ago, and it is great! Long endless days (tonight the sun will actually dive below the horizon for the first time since we arrived) and the views are great, including the one from the apartment!

We have already spotted dolphins while sitting in our living room and boats are continuously passing by. It is great!

We will try to post some pictures here from time to time, so don't forget to check it now and then!

Love,

Douglas & Claartje
