Cold and beautiful









We have had great weather the last two weeks, cold but sunny (yes, the sun returned some time ago). We are outside every day walking, skiing and sledging.
We found some moose traces in the snow and ploughed trough kneedeep snow around a lake. Lots of fun! 
There were also beautiful northernlights above Harstad at several nights!
Unfortunately at the moment is it warmer and raining, so all the snow is dissapearing...should be back next week though!
Love,

Douglas & Claartje

After 6 months in Norway it was time for a holiday. A trip to the sun, a trip to Kuwait.

In Kuwait we saw a lot of things. We visited the Kuwait Towers, the Grand Mosque of Kuwait, drove along Arabian Gulf Drive, took the boot to Failaka Island, went to the Camel races and we toured around Kuwait University, the Avenues and the old souk. Douglas also took a ride on a camel at the camel farm on Failaka Island. It was a great week, thank you Brian for being our tourguide!

Now we are back again in cold Norway. Good to be home again!

love,

Claartje & Douglas
