vakre helgeland!

Ved Alsterhougs Præstegaard findes at see,
Syv Søstre, som fletter sin' Lokker i snee
Syv Damer, og alle saa viide,
Hvoraf i Land-Carterne meget gaaer Rye,
Hvis Toppe opstiger ansseeig i Skye,
Og sees i havet saa vide.

fra nordlands trompet av petter dass
(som ikkje ser ut sånn som vi trur han gjer ;))

dønnamainn at midnight...
my beautiful northern norway :)

økende afrikansk kritikk mot mugabe

"Det er en tragisk svikt i lederskapet i vårt naboland Zimbabwe, sa Sør-Afrikas tidligere president, Nelson Mandela, da han kommenterte situasjonen i Zimbabwe for første gang onsdag. Håpet er nå at Mandelas uttalelse kan innvarsle økt kritikk også fra afrikanske ledere mot Robert Mugabe."

beautiful!

kyss!

KYSSET

Endnu, endnu, o Elskte, en Sekund
lad mine Læber paa din søde dvæle!
Da smelter Grændsen mellem vore Sjele.
Det er din Sjel jeg kysser paa din Mund.

views from the terrace I - the mediterranean

the semester is over, yoh! I left stellenbosch two weeks ago to spend my "winter break" in europe. with kapuscinski's "the shadow of the sun" in my bag and a fascinating iraqi soldier by my side (last time it was a diamond diver, hehe), I flew north over the grand african continent with spain as the next destination.

when traveling, especially in three so different countries in such a short time (south africa, spain, norway), life is really put into perspective. meeting people from completely different walks of life and with different world views I often realise (over and over again) that we are all not that different - despite what we believe in, or what backgrounds we have. the world is really filled with great people - I just love all these encounters that life surprises me with!

I spent a fairytalish week in altea, spain, with my mom. oh my, how good it was to see her again! altea is without a doubt one of my favourite places - so beautiful, so peaceful! hanging out with my crazy-funny friend Luis I also get to meet so many wonderful people and see wonderful places- and lets not forget about all the fabulous food and wine! ah, what a treat life can be!

guadalest - the medieval mountain "city" and views towards altea and the sea

luisito and I

guadalest medieval torture museum -

here I definitely learnt a few things I would have been better off not knowing!
I didnt fancy the torture business, the world is mad!
I much rather want to enjoy the beauty of altea in total ignorance!

peace and love to ya'll!
