Back to Reykjavik...

Tomorrow i will fly back to Reykjavik, after helping my parents for almost 14 days. we have moved most of the house, so now there is onlythe beds and the tv left;0)
i had some good days here, though i never managed to go skiing due to all the moving...
i guess i will have to try out the skiing in Iceland, if it hasn´t melted away again...

Oslo...

Since i came back from Svalbard i have been in Oslo helping my parents moving from the old house to a new (renovated). there is a lot of stuff which has piled up during 31 years in Norway, including my stuff. my mother keeps saying this is yours and this and this... but i have nowhere to move it as i have no place of my own. i guess i better need to hurry up and buy something big to live in...

the weather has been a lot of snow and now it is really cold, -20 and great sunny weather...

Longyearbyen, Svalbard in 40 hours...

Sunday morning i went to Longyearbyen on Svalbard to attend a job interview at the UNIS (university of Svalbard) working with logistics. the interview was on Monday morning, so i spent Sunday walking a bit around, but as the sun is still below the horizon it was pretty dark. i managed to find my way to the pub where i got some dinner and a beer and met some of my friends who happened to drop by and found my in a corner...

On my way back home i felt a bit sick (no not the beer), and after returning to my room i had to make a "call" into the toilet and this kept on all night, before i finally got some hours of sleep. not the best way of starting a job interview, but i managed to make my selves decent and talked to the people for 1 1/2 hours. we were only 2 out of 41 applicants who got an interview.

The rest of the day i spent by visiting old friends at UNIS and at my former work place of Spitsbergen travel, before walking home and having a yogurt and a roll for dinner. Line and Tessa, whom i guided with in Antarctica visited my for waffles and tea in "peisestuen" at the hotel and later on my friend Endre came by too.

Tuesday morning i had a conversation with one from NP about another job, then i had lunch with my friend Hilde at Rabalder, the new culture house in town and then it was time to fly to Oslo and my parents. on the plane i met Gro, who i was guiding with in Antarctica and we could spend some hours in Tromsö eating and talking before our planes departed...

Oslo

Today i arrived in Oslo, Norway. Yesterday it was snowing a lot inReykjavik, so it was a pitty to leave when there is finally some snow around. Tomorrow i will fly to Svalbard to attend an interview, but will be back in Oslo on Tuesday to help my parents moving to a new (old) house. then i will go back to Anna and Iceland on the 20th of February.
the weather here in Oslo is the same as in Reykjavik, -2 and some snow on the ground, but a lot more lighter...
