30 Jun 2023 – Below Or Wonder
Tue: what an amazing evening, tusen takk to Linn’s childhood friends(must have been 40+yrs ago we last met!) for taking time to catch up before everyone takes off for the summer holidays. Thomas with 3children and Rasmus also 3children – such charming young ppl. Tkx to Thomas for this jersey for #3 who has been looking for something like this.
Wed: road trip towards the south with the first stop for the puppy to peep. Lovely surprise to literally having Tager&Mette crossing our paths@Risør at the midway break for our drive.
One night Lindesnes Havhotell@Båly just 5mins walk to
Under, an underwater restaurant in Lindesnes. Its dining room is found 5.5m below sea level. The eating floor is 495 sqm making it the biggest underwater restaurant in the world, with a capacity of 40ppl. Under has the dual meaning of below and wonder.

A very amazing memorable belated 70thBday 17-Course dinner.
We chose this wine with the 4starter courses –
served on the level just above sea-level
The rest of the menu were served below sea-level and this was one of the wines chosen
seafoods
The last wine was a red for the meat
Desserts, including ants on them… and for once we are the ones biting them, revenge time! – hahaha!!
Ending this 4hrs once-in-a-lifetime meal.
Thu: sad news from BillCrouse who lost his wife, Tanja in an accident while climbing in the mountains they so loved and where she was her happiest – condolences to him and her family. A short early morning walk in the area with #6 before continuing on the road trip.
Lindesnes fyr=ligthhouse(1656) is the oldest in Norway at the southernmost tip of Norway. http://www.laguide.no/lindesnesfyr/Facts/dynamic-en.html
Picking up grocery,lunch&shopping@Vigeland(family of the artist GustavVigeland and his brother Emanuel both originally came from Vigeland) village in Lindesnes before heading to the cabin.
Arr safe&sound in wet weathers but with a cabin named The Fairytale Castle midst in the woods and in the middle of nowhere, may make you wonder if fairytales can come true. Once upon a time and that is how all stories begin! https://wildcabins.no/en/the-fairytale-castle/
Fri: woke up to this idyllic view from the front windows in glorious weathers.
A day to explore the surroundings and it sure is my kind of paths to be walking on.
Folded sculptured towels and some of the yummy foods bought at REMA1000@Vigerland.
Fairytales can come true
It can happen to you
If you’re young at heart
For it’s hard you will find
To be narrow of mind
If you’re young at heart
You can go to extremes
With impossible schemes
You can laugh when your dreams
Fall apart at the seams
And life gets more exciting
With each passing day
And love is either in your heart
Or on it’s way
Don’t you know that it’s worth
Every treasure on earth
To be young at heart
For as rich as you are
It’s much better by far
To be young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look at all you’ll derive
Out of being alive
And here is the best part
You’ve had a head start
If you are among the very
Young at heart
And if you should survive to 105
Look of all you’ll derive
Out of being alive
And here is the best part
You have a head start
If you are among the very
Young at heart… Songwriters: Carolyn Leigh / Johnny Richards
