Lovely, sunny weekend!

Posted on by

This weekend we were off work both of us (and it not happens very often.)
The sun was shining the whole days with a clear blue sky and we spend the days with morning walks, eating prawns at Lekter’n, drinking beers in Bar’daux with Reshirdan and eating fantastic indian food at Jewel of India with Marlene!

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!

Skiing vacation in Trysil!

Posted on by

In February we did an really fun and crazy trip to Trysil. A skiing destination not far from Oslo. Only 3 hours by bus!
We were 7 happy people who enjoyed a weekend with skiing, laughing, great food, bruises, partying, beer, wine, cognac and jacuzzi and spa.
And I can tell you it was my first time ever on a pair of slalom skis and it was Tomas first time on a snowboard in a very long time, since he was eighteen. And it was really, really fun despite the bruises!! =P
Here is some Kodak-moments from our weekend in Trysil!

Safe skiing, Love Linda and Tomas!

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:

Hello everyone!
Now we only have one week left until we leave to Thailand! And god so we yearn, we have really deserved this five weeks of vacation!
We have worked and worked like fools both of us and now it’s finally approaching!
Our lovely house are also getting finished, it’s not much left. We have received photos from Aon and it is really getting amazing! But all of you have to wait a little while longer to see what has happened until we get there. Then we gonna give you some great photos to you!
And we have promised you that you should get a blog-post a day and we should really try to keep our promises!

Another funny thing is that we have received our first booking at the house! Our first guests checking in on January 27 and checking out on February 3. We are so happy and hope they will enjoy their stay in our wonderful house! They have made their reservation through our advertise on Villa Renters. Check it out:
