Sirdal again

It's low season in the mountains ... we tweaked Sirdal cabins to the fullest! The kids are almost to the point of "enough of cabin weekends!" but of course that's what the need exactly ... more time at the cabins, stuck with their parents!

Sirdal again

A great way to satisfy that climbing fix and enjoy the view from the top to boot : get a cabin in Sirdal, drive up to the cabin at 725m and trek up the top mountain at 1100m via a gentle sloping ridge. Ahh ... what a view, and the fresh air at 17 deg C.

The drive to Sirdal is only about two hours from our house, in the summer you can still make it within the day even if you leave the house at 6pm. The ride up winds through scenic lakeside and mountainside view. If it's not a major holiday there's practically nobody else on the road other that the odd one or two families having the same thought as you for the weekend.

Sirdal with Grandpa

Grandpa Loke came to visit for two weeks at the end of May. The plan was for him to take a tour to Rome to see the Pope, this being Norway none of the tours were scheduled to start till mid June when summer officially begins in these parts.

Grandpa stayed with us for a week being utterly bored ... kids were at school and we were at work. We did manage to take him to spend a few days at the company cabin in Sinnes in Sirdal. Grandpa enjoyed sight seeing and making videos of everything we saw along our travels.

Used to taking packaged tours, Grandpa was visibly annoyed at our inability to provide him with the typical glib tour service available from the tour professionals.
