These last few days.

Ok, it has already been a while since I last wrote anything on here, but here we go again.
I bought a new camera on Tuesday, because my old one broke when I was in Paris. Here are some photos that were shot since Tuesday :)

Skype is so great when I'm so far away from home, it is great to talk to friends and family. Spoke with Anja on Tuesday night.

I went for a walk in the park by here to have my quiet time with God. This park is lovely.

On Friday I went with Vanessa and Eugene to Ventimiglia, just across the Italian border, to the Friday's market, and know what you can buy there... fish from the Faroe Islands, yes, you're reading correctly. If you look carefully on the paper on the fish you can see it says "Prod. Faroe Islande".

Italian traffic is CRAZY!

Since I live in the middle of the woods far from civilization, Joanna and I went for a walk.

The colours were just beautiful. It isn't really cold here, so I keep thinking it is still summer, but you can see that winter is coming when looking at the colours. 

Student Life.

Easy meals, and good entertainment :o)
I was watching the Amazing Race while eating my dinner.

My new home.

As I mentioned in my previous entry, I recently moved to France to start studying.
I live in a studio flat at a student residence belonging to the school that I'm in. The residence is quite new (finished  in 2009), so it is not worn down, which is very nice. The school is just up the hill (5 min.), but towns are quite far away.

Here are some photo of the place:

This is the place from the outside, can you spot me on the balcony?

There is construction work going on right outside my window, not good!

This is the noisy construction work. Looking forward to it being done!

My desk for studying and my comfortable bed.

Dining area.

My tiny kitchen area, but I manage.

The bathroom across from the kitchen-area.

A New Chapter Has Begun.

Hanging out with friends right before I left.

Just over a month ago, I began a long planned journey, a new chapter in my life. I now live in France, in Valbonne Sophina Antipolis, to be precise. I have moved to here to study communication at SKEMA Bachelors, I will be living here 2 years, then moving to another destination to finish my studies. It will either be the UK or the US.

I live in a beautiful area :)

Ein vika á Zarepta.

Eg havi akkurát verið á Zarepta á 13 ára leguni har. Eg var leiðari har, og eg hevði hesar fittu gentir á mínum holdi. Tað var ein sera góð lega, vit høvdu tað stuttligt, og eg var ógvuliga glað fyri at genturnar gjørdu mær tann beina og løgdu seg at sova tá náttarfriður skuldi vera, túsund takk fyri :)

At skapa sær eitt sindur dugdu vit eisini væl. Her er kapping um at gera flottasta hoppið, og eg haldi, at tær duga sera væl :) Eg fái ongantíð nokk av hoppimyndum.

Tá veðrið jú var so gott, so varð sjálvandi grillað. Her er alt holdið samla, og Elsa er eisini komin, eftir at hava verið langt burturi og ferðast.

Hugnaløtan var bara eisini hildin uttanfyri.

Genturnar hjá vildu sleppa at royna alt. Her rógva tær okkum langt út á vatni. Bara rólig, eg hjálpti eisini eitt sindur til.

Ein av døgunum fóru vit eisini í ítriv á pynta skrivibøkur. Summar vóru ógvuliga skjótt lidnar, meðan eg brúkti laaanga tíð og endaði við at vera síðst liðug.

Vit fóru eisini at svimja. Genialt at Zarepta hevur so nógv at bjóða. Hetta var tann stuttligasta myndin vit tóku har.

Alt í alt vil eg siga, at hetta var ein góð vika. Tað vóru útfordringar, sum vit máttu berja okkum ígjøgnum, men eg haldi, at Orð Guds bleiv greitt prædikað, vit lærdu øll millum annað Móses betur at kenna. 

Eg haldi á at biðja fyri tykkum, gentir, haldið tykkum til Gud og latið Hann vera Harra tykkara!

A Night in a Tent by a Lake with Friends.

Saturday we went tenting by the lake, Fjallavatn. Since the weather around here is very unpredictable, we were keen on all most anything, but we were hoping for no rain and not too much wind.

We didn't really know the place that we were tenting, so we couldn't really find shelter. The area around the lake was very wet, so we couldn't set up there. But we found a quite good spot.

We brought two disposable barbecues with us, so supper was burgers and sausages, yummy.

 

Later we decided we wanted to walk around the lake, or maybe just see what we at the far end of the lake. What we thought was going to be a medium long walk, became a loooooong walk with winds against our head and rain pouring in the end. But we made it :) We didn't walk around the lake, but all the way to the far end, so that we could see the ocean.

And coming back from the walk the weather really changed or maybe just got worse. We were able to sleep in the end, but not for long. A few times I seriously thought the tent was going to break and crash on us. But luckily it didn't. I got a few hours of sleep, even the the wind was minimizing our sleeping area.

When I finally got out of my sleeping bag, I was still very tired, and feeling like a horrible mess.

But the trip was a lot of fun.

We were singing: "Or-e-oooo, ore-o, oreo, or-e-ooo, ore-o, oreo, oreo, ore--, ore, ore---o!

To My God.

I don't know how you do what you do 
I'm so in love with you 
It just keeps getting better 
I want to spend the rest of my life 
With you by my side 
Forever and ever 
Every little thing that you do 
My God, I'm amazed by you 

Kirkjugøta

Ok, so this must be the coolest lane in the country, or maybe the most religious one at least. It has it's very own street name: Kirkjugøta (Church Lane), and there is one, yes one building on the street. Oh yeah, you guessed it, the church.

EIN STÓR FAMILJA

 Í 2009 vaks víðkaða familja okkara, tá omma giftist Oddur, og tað eru vit sera glað fyri. Síðsta vikuskifti vóru vit næstan øll á Selatrað ein familjutúr, vit vóru 22 fólk (og 4 fólk manglaðu enn tá). Tað var ein sera hugnaligur túrur. Tíð var til  mangt; vit stuttleikaðu okkum, høvdu hugnaligar løtur saman, kappaðust, prátaðu og ótu nógvan mat ;)

Eg eri sera glað fyri at kunna hava góða familju, sum eg kann hava tað gott saman við, og brúka mítt lív saman við.

hesi ætlaðu sær at vinna

vit eta leskilligan grillaðan mat

út at rógva

tað er altíð skeg at spæla við vatn ;)

søta Sára (mín av Selatrað?)

øll somul - high five !

SANDCASTLE

This afternoon and evening the weather decided that it was time for summer, which pleased me.

Elisabeth and I therefore went to the beach and built a sandcastle.

Look at our oh so pretty sandcastle, high five !

Just like a real princess castle, my very own (and Elisabeth's). 

Spending more time in Sydney.

I know, it has already been several weeks since I came back home. But I still wanted to make a post about my days with my sister in Sydney.
After visiting Naomi, I went back to Sydney for 10 more days. I did some sightseeing, met Halla's friends, got to know some of them better, went to Hillsong heaps of times, did some shopping and just relaxed.
Here are some photos and captions.

We went to New Town and on our way back we saw this electrocuted bat. Poor thing!

I went downtown a few times exploring, one of the days I went up into the Skytower.

It was Easter, so Halla made treats for Laura and Jessica.

And we went hiking in the Blue Mountains, after Laura didn't get us lost anyway ;)

And we went to this lovely cafe afterwards.

I invited Halla to a relaxing and pampering night in a B&B in Oyster Bay, great place.

This was right before I get ticked, cause the battery in my camera died.

But luckily Halla agreed to go back the next day, so I got a few good photos of the Opera House:

Love that smile ;)

And then it was time to way goodbye and head back home after a 3 week super holiday. 

Sad, but real-life is calling!
