Today I have just had the most amazing day in a very very long time. I does not really give justice in just words. My very good old amazing friends Katarina and Monica (from Kristiansand) has been visiting me the last week. We have done a whole bunch of amazing things here on Maui and today we rounded up a beautiful week with full day sailing on this amazing catamaran trip to Lanai. (Trilogy Lanai Seafari) where we sailed out on this grand sailboat with only 11 other people and a great (and amazingly handsome) sailing crew to the neighbor island of Lanai. We snorkeled, small boat rafting, eco van tour of Lanai, sailed, had drinks, ice-cream, barbecue, u name it and all the time we were waitered on by lovely tanned super handsome sailor guys. 

When we arrived home we walked over to Mama˙s FIsh restaurant and had the best 3 course dinner any of us has had in a long long time.. What an amazing finish of an AMAZING week. Tomorrow we fly to Honolulu and Waikiki for some shopping, tanning and maybe a night out :)

Surfer Girl

 I think I'm getting hooked on Surfing too.. The swell has been really great the last week  here on Maui and I've had some really good sessions on the water! The best thing of all was walking out my door the other day, the neighbor had yard-sale, and there was my perfect board!! 9feet, slim style, used but great conditions. Took it straight out and had my best surfing day ever! But all good things come to an end. My last session yesterday was interrupted by a jellyfish (Portuguese Man o'War) twisted around my thigh and down my leg. I'm normally no chicken when it comes to these things, but that was freaking painful..  

My surfspot (Grandma's)

Surfmobile :) Handy with a big car.

Today I'm flying to Oslo to do my Offshore Survival refresher, sell my appartement and move furniture (and hopefully see som friends). Friday I will go to Kristiansand and spend the weekend there before flying up to Baffin Bay, outside Greenland.. (About 74degrees North, I will freeze to death I'm sure..).

My new Casa Maui style!

I have now officially moved from my beautiful house and all my lovely animals up in Haiku, down to the sea in Kuau in another quite beautiful house. My new roomate is a really cool, amazing lady that has lived here on Maui about 25 years, knows everyone, swims 2hrs almost every day in the ocean and loves to cook! Jippi for me, since I have mostly forgotten how to cook :) Anyway, here are som pictures of my new casa.

My new bedroom.
