Koh Tao <3
Hello!
It’s been a while since we wrote something here, sorry, but we have been, as usual, really busy with our villa, sunbathing, snorkeling, swimming and diving when we are in paradise. Then it so hard to have time to blog. And the time goes away too fast when we are here!
Writing a short post now and try to write more when we coming home to Frangipani Villa tonight. At this moment we laying in the swimming-pool in Chalok Harbor and enjoying the sun! 🙂
Big hugs
Back to Koh Tao
Yes, you read that right! We’ve been on a quick visit to Thailand and Koh Tao, we went Friday the 17th. And as usual it was absolutely wonderful to step into our home Frangipani Villa.
The house is getting nicer and nicer! This week we actually almost just relaxed, we have fixed a little bit with the house but not much. Aon and her team have helped us with some small things like: cut some branches so we have better sea-view, cleared the drainpipes around the house and set nets into them so we can collect rainwater now that the rainy season begins in October. Then they made the shelves in our storeroom.

We also met our lovely neighbors Niklas and Nettan and their children. We have not seen each other since we signed the contract on our houses in September 2009. It was really fun to see them again! We managed to take some ”cold beer” on their terrace and have dinner together! 🙂
But a week goes fast and Monday, 27th we were back home again. We already longing back as usual! But it is not that long until we’re back on the Rock again. We will again this year celebrate Christmas and New Year there!
And now our friends, we have just two weeks left before we step ashore on the Galapagos Islands for 8 days with the world’s best diving! Yay!!!
Have it great so far!
Hugs from us!
Hello Everybody!
Now it’s crazy long time since we wrote something, forgive us!
Much has happened since May …
Throughout June, we worked like animals on our jobs, until we finally could go on a long awaited vacation to our family-homes in Norrbotten, early July. Thomas stayed a little more than a week and I, Linda stayed for almost two weeks. Oh god so nice, we enjoyed it. And as usualy the weeks have been stressful to keep up spending as much time as possible with our loved ones. Tomas has been mostly with his family and friends and I have been in Jokkmokk with my family and my friends. Then, we have made rapid-visits of each other’s families.
Below you got pictures and captions so you more easily can see what we’ve done!
We had a week of good weather at home but otherwise the sun shines by its absence this summer. It has been mostly cold and rainy so far, but other than that it’s not too late, we hope! :))

Then we need to thank all of you who read our blog! Can you imagine that we will soon have 350,000 visitors to this page! Absolutely incredible!
Hope you are enjoying the summer!
Big hugs from us!
The spring is here!
With new challenges and desire for summer! =)
And Happy New Year / Songkran in Thailand!
We enjoying life and we still working a lot, Tomas in the Chocolate factory Freia and I in the restaurants D/S Louise and Lekter’n.
Tomas, he has also started to play drums again when he has free days, which he thinks is incredibly fun!
And I’ve started to work in Lekter’n again this summer. This year I will be Daily Manager with personnel responsibility. It’s really fun to get a new challenge, otherwise it’s easy to fall into some sort of stupor. Haha. But I will in the same time work as a bartender and head waiter at D/S Louise. So far it’s pretty quiet at AkerBrygge, we have had one busy weekend in Mars, when we had lots of SUN and 20 degrees but April has been cold and wet, then now we all longing for summer, with more sun and and warm weather, hopefully. Aker Brygge’s a fantastic place to be in the summer!
This summer, we haven’t got any plans, except that we are traveling back to northern Sweden for one week to visit our families and friends. And then we have the Galapagos trip to look forward to in September, which we now saving lots of money to and we have to buy new divingsuits and small goodies for the trip as well. It’ll be awesome to go to one of the world’s best diving- and nature paradise!
During the Easter week, two friends of ours were on Koh Tao and they have been so nice to look after Frangipani Villa. They also had the time to take some new photos for us, of the terraces and mini-bar. It was so fun to see how beautiful it has become! Thank you sweeties Jennie and Sophie for that!!

When we were on Koh Tao in January, we also view and modify the design of our pool-area. And Koh Tao Villas team is amazing to listen to our ideas and wishes, and then transfer them to a realistic design. Check for yourself how lovely our pool and pool-area will be, we hope that we can start building it in a near future!

The rental is going great, our third-guests checked out on Saturday, we have not heard anything other than that they had it perfect! They probably had to experience a crazy fun Songkran on Koh Tao! =) Then we have the villa reserved almost the entire May, tjohoo!
That was everything for now!
Spring Happiness from us!
We already wants to go back to Koh Tao
We have been home three days now and we already want to go back to our paradise!
Five weeks going so fast.
We are back on our works and Oslo is crazy cold and snowy, brrr….
The contrast is big from 30 plus plus to 10 minus minus.
Imagine if we had got to be on Koh Tao, most of the year, it would have been absolutely wonderful! This is what we yearn to:
