30-07-2015 Bong & His Summer Update (Blue berries~)

Well,

since I am still having a bit more holiday

before going back to work in August..

So,

one day I just spent like 4-5 hours at Sognsvann

picking blue berries~

Well, it is not that difficult..

but it certainly challenges your patience...

as you need to bend down most of the time,

pick them one by one gently~

So,

to kill the boredom~

I also took some pictures, 

blog this post~

and of course

1 selfie!

XOXO

28-07-2015 Bong & His Summer Holiday (Fishing in lake - Part 14)

One day 

which was really warm

(like above 20 degrees) 

in the north....

we made a plan to fish

at a nearby lake~

with Kjell!

To start with the fishing activity,

we must found the baits first~

which were the worms~

After digging in the soils

for about... 

20 minutes~

we got enough of worms..

then we departed the journey 

to walk to the lake~

It wasn't such a long walk...

only took about 20 minutes~

But the views along the way

were really amazing~

From hill

to mud~

Finally we reached

the spot for fishing~

Since it was one of 

the warmest summer days 

in north Norway,

I decided to take a swim in this lake~

and gain my first ever swimming experience in the water of

north Norway!

And of course,

with the surrounding being

so incredible~

I also spent some time taking some pictures~

A selfie

with the reflection of the water huh? 

Lol!

Cold beers

at such

cozy and peaceful evening~

JUST PERFECT!

Kjell taught me 

how to fish~

But too bad, 

I didn't have the luck to get any fish that night~

This was Kjell's 

first caught by the way~

Trout fish!

And he also made

very good

'burn' toast

with brown cheese...

Hmm~

that was absolutely delicious!

Well, 

even though Me and Arne

did not get anything,

it was still a nice evening

spending with friend~

Arne making his bonfire~

me learning how to fish~

And not to forget,

such lovely 

peaceful

place

~

XOXO

26-07-2015 Bong & His Summer Holiday (Tromsø cable car - Fjell­hei­sen - Part 13)

Fjell­hei­sen was one of the places in Tromsø

which we wanted to visit last year~

But to see nice views from there,

it must be clear sky...

Since it was foggy and cold last year when we visited Tromsø

(Around end of August)

we didn't have the chance to do it last year...

and this year,

we finally made it!

The cable car

departs from Solliveien in Tromsdalen 

to Storsteinen on mount Fløya.

(Information quoted from its official website)

Up at 421 meters above 

the sea level,

there are a few cafes where you can sit and enjoy the view

at the upper station~

But more important

is 

to see the panoramic view of Tromsø~

Arne and his eldest son, Andreas

seemed excited to see the view...

And of course,

we were very lucky with the weather too!

The famous Artic Cathedral

(Ishavskatedralen)

with its triangular architecture~

Bridge at another side of Tromsø...

captured together with a ship passing by~

Lol!

After staying about 20 minutes 

enjoying the views,

we decided to take some coffees at the cafe

since it was not so very warm~

I must say that we were super lucky with the weather...

because just the moment we entered the cafe,

suddenly it started to rain heavily!

After staying there for about 1 hour,

we were done with the visit~

To be honest,

besides the panoramic view of Tromsø city,

it is really nothing much things to do there~

This is how the cable car

looks like~

it is rather big...

can take up to 28 people~

You can also

choose to walk up

instead of taking the cable car~

Last pic of the post~

The beautiful Tromsø city viewed from the top of the mountain...
