Anita was born and has lived in Akershus, just outside Oslo, all her life. South-eastern Norway is where most of the countrys population is found.

Nils Vegard was born on the North-West coast of Norway, he lived there until he moved to Oslo eight years ago. The North-West has a wild landscape with mountains and fjords.

We hope you enjoy this glance at our lives in Norway.

Another christmas picture. Sunset and boathouses.

Many foreigners tend to belive that Norway is a cold place with snow all year long and with polarbears in the streets. This picture should prove them wrong. Actually summer i Norway can be very warm, the record stands at about 35 degrees Celcius (about 95 degrees Farenheit), 25 to 30 degrees Celcius is not unusual. This picture is from the peak "Slogen". The fjord is 1564 meters below, that should be somewhere around 5100 feet.

Another summerpicture, this one showing Anita and her friends at the beach in Sandefjord, the town is located a couple of hours drive from Oslo.

There are a lot of beautiful places along the Oslo fjord, this rainbow is pointing at Drobaksundet.

Hvaler is another great place to be when the sun is hot. All sorts og watersports can be enjoyed here, or if you want to relax - have a beer in one of the seaside restaurants.

Sunrise nearby Halden, a small town close to the swedish border.

Last October Nils Vegard was visiting his parents to hike in the mountains, here togheter with his father.

At the summit. The peak in the background is called Kolaastind, a very popular mountain to visit.

Last summer we went on a short trip to a beautiful mountain-valley called Molladalen. The valley is located in Orsta, not far from where Nils Vegards parents live. The valley is a climbers paradise.

All the mountains on this page (except one :-) are within a 10 kilometer distance from one of Norways most beautiful fjords, Hjorundfjorden. For more fjords goto http://www.fjords.com/

The farm where Nils Vegards parents live.

....... and their cabin, setra. A very relaxing place to be, light up the fireplace and the oil-lamps and stretch out on the couch.

Anita and her friend Rebecca celebrating May 17. (the norwegian constitution day). They are wearing national costumes from different parts of norway.

Nils Vegards car the summer 2003. In the background a glacier located in Sogn and Fjordane county.

The last eight years Nils Vegard has lived in Oslo, the capital of Norway. With its population of about 500.000 people, it is not a very big city.

Oslo, the city hall and the harbour.

Our friend Oskar has a sailboat, when conditions are good the Oslo fjord is crowded with boats. When the sun is shining and it is windy we enjoy sailing to one of the small islands outside Oslo, having a barbeque.

When he was young Nils Vegard served his country in the army.
