Marina de Lagos

Posted on December 6, 2011 by missnymo

Lagos is a beautiful and very charming small town. Above are a few pictures from the marina and surroundings, which is a few minutes walk from the apartment. Besides heaps of boats you’ll find restaurants, bars and a few shops, but it’s pretty quiet during winter. The flags are barely moving, which means I’ve not been able to go out kitesurfing in the awesome lagoon a short drive away. Everything is pretty much the same as it was back in 2008 when I lived here. Great to see everything again, and to enjoy some sunshine before I go back to the darkest time of the year in Norway….. ;)

Boa  noite!

From snow to beach

Posted on December 4, 2011 by missnymo

Heading south…

…to this beautiful beach in one of my favourite small towns where I used to live 3-4 years ago.
That was when I started this blog.

Bare feet and fine sand – great feeling.

Sunset in Lagos :-)

Sun, wind and fresh snow!

Posted on December 4, 2011 by missnymo

First time kiting on snow since early 2009. First time with a snowboard (I used skies before). First time doing small jumps while snowkiting. Oh what a great day!

Hvis du vil lære deg å kite kan du melde deg på kurs her. Og den fete kiten finner du her.

Kiting at Prasonisi Beach!

Posted on August 15, 2011 by missnymo

14 out of 14 days with wind!

Prasonisi <3

Doing my first jumps on flat water. Maybe not the best place to practice as it’s offshore winds…
and no rescue boat this early in the morning haha.

The rabbit gang!

Carrying my kite after a way too windy session. 9m Smoke kite and nearly 30 knots is not ideal – I need a smaller Gypsy! ;)

6am in the morning – we had the water for our selves for 3-4 hours! Posing with my Wainman Hawaii Smoke and Crazy Fly girls board  from Sideshore :)

Tragedy.

Posted on July 27, 2011 by missnymo

Forrige uke hadde jeg og mamma en flott road-trip hvor vi startet i nord fra Setermoen og kjørte ned mot hovedstaden via Sverige. Da vi endelig kom til Oslo ble vi sittende fast i rush-trafikken nesten 50 meter under jorden. Bilene beveget seg knapt, men plutselig snek det seg en politibil med blålys og sirener gjennom… Vi slo på radioen og fikk høre den forferdelige nyheten. Oslo hadde blitt bombet bare for noen minutter siden. Det var ganske ubehagelig å være så langt under jorden uten å vite hva som foregikk… Uheldigvis ble denne dagen et stort mareritt for mange. Hele norge er i sorg.

***

Last week I had a great road-trip with my mum starting up north in Norway heading south to the capital. Finally in Oslo we were stuck in the Friday afternoon traffic, nearly 50 meters under ground. The cars barely moved and suddenly there was a police car rushing through… We turned on the radio and got the tragic news – a bomb had exploded in Oslo city centre just a few minutes ago. It was scary to be this far under ground without knowing exactly what was going on… Unfortunately it turned out to be the start of a nightmare for many. A whole nation is grieving.

Elvestad

Posted on July 22, 2011 by missnymo

Kusina mi og en nyplukket gulrot!
Gården til mamma heter Elvestad. Hun dyrker forskjellige grønnsaker, og hun har en hund, en katt og tusenvis av bier! Mer om det senere…

My cousin and a fresh carrot!
My mum’s old farm is called Elvestad. She’s growing different vegetables and she got a dog, a cat and thousands of bees! More on that later...

Can’t get any fresher than this!

Summer, great weather, fresh air, family – can’t get any better :)

Torshaug

Posted on July 20, 2011 by missnymo

Minstebror er blitt så stor, hehe. Har knapt sett han de siste 8 årene… Sånn blir det når søster bor litt opp-ned. Jeg kan faktisk øvelseskjøre med han nå – owææ, vi er jo blitt så gamle ;) (Ps. Torshaug er gården jeg vokste opp på. Uten dyr da, ehh).

***

My youngest brother has grown so fast. I’ve barely seen him the last 8 years, that’s what happens when sistah has been living nearly 6 years on the other side, haha. (PS. Torshaug is the name of the “farm” I grew up at. Umm, yeah, without any animals).

mmm, bbq!

I tried something new (and I do not recommend it!)

Hopefully the summer will last a bit longer…

*Happy summer days*

Down by the river

Posted on July 20, 2011 by missnymo

Jeg vokste opp i ei lita bygd i Målselv, og vi var så heldige å ha litt av lakse-elva (Målselva) på eiendommen. Nå har ikke jeg noen interesse for fisking, men det er andre som drar opp litt fisk i ny og ne og det er jo ganske luksus å få fersk laks på døra! Jeg ble med pappa ut en tur her om dagen og tok noen stemningsbilder. Liker du å fiske?

***

I grew up in a small village in Målselv, North Norway. There is a large salmon-river running through our property, but I’ve never been interesting in fishing. However, others are catching salmons now and then and it’s pretty convenient to get fresh fish on the door! I went out there with my dad the other day, but instead of catching fish I tried to catch the atmosphere with my lens. Do you like to go fishing?

BLT pizza – yummy!

Posted on July 2, 2011 by missnymo

Da jeg var i USA tidligere i år spiste jeg en nydelig BLT (bacon lettuce tomato) pizza som jeg ikke helt har klart å glemme hehe. Så da laget jeg min egen versjon! Pizzaen er laget fra bunnen av (bokstavelig talt…). Honning & grovbakst bunn med bacon & mozzarella ost stekt i ovnen toppet med isbergsalat & mayonnaise blanding samt cherry tomater. Mmmmm…

***

When I was traveling in the states earlier this year I ate this yummy BLT pizza, and I just can’t forget about it haha. So I made my own version!  The pizza is made from scratch: honey-wholemeal crust with bacon & mozzarella cheese, baked in the oven topped with lettuce tossed in mayonnaise and cherry tomatoes. Mmmmmm…..

Stand Up Paddling (SUP) at Aker Brygge

Posted on June 28, 2011 by missnymo

Two weekends ago there was a SUP competition (“NM i SUP”) at Aker Brygge / Tjuvholmen in Oslo. I joined in last minute haha. I tried SUP first time in Merimbula (Australia) in November last year. I also went SUPing with Randy in Kailua and  Karianne on Maui earlier this year. It’s a really chill sport, however it gets more challenging in waves! My challenge this time was physical strength…Paddling fast was something NEW haha.
There was a short distance (sprint) and a 6km (!!!) long distance. I joined both.. OMG, I never thought I was gonna make the 6km, but I DID – yay! My only goal was to make it to the finish line, I think I spent about 1 hour and 20 minutes paddling… And even though I got last, I got a 3rd place since we were only 3 girls haha! ( Photos: Ingebjørg Giil )

SUPing in between the heats

Ingebjørg – number 1!

Me & Cathy in front of the crowd…

EXHAUSTED after 6km paddling!
When we reached the finish line we jumped into the water – so refreshing!

Cathrine got 2nd (x 2) and won 270 litres of Coca-Cola OMG haha.
