To the left, an early breakfast at Jorunn's place. A packed
schedule. To the right, Martin's old junk heap of a car.
Martin decided to use it till it falls apart. That is the cheapest way to
drive. |
|
|
Kjell, Jorunn's partner as cut down a pine tree in his
garden. He will have fire wood for some years to come. |
|
|
On the road again, Lee and Walter. Walter
has a big mouth and it's open most of the time. |
|
|
View from the road. Almost at the range. |
|
Shooting range
|
|
This is the outside entrance to the shooting range inside
the mountain. When inside, you have our (TOP's) door to our
section of the mountain. The rest is used for telecommunications. |
|
|
Tanya happily outside the entrance to the range.
The four of them posing in a shooting posture. |
|
|
Happy bunch. Going through the doors to the
range inside the mountains. Today, it serves as a bomb shelter with heavy
steel door designed to take an atomic blast no more than 10 atmospheric
pressure. Originally built by the Germans during WWII as a command center. |
|
|
Two views of one of the ranges. This one certified for up
to .44 magnums. |
|
|
Martin shows Walter a finer point of the art of shooting.
Martin shows off. Too much tummy. Martin is 14 kgs too fat. |
|
|
Josh shooting plates. Walter having a go at
25 meters. Not much success. |
|
Sailing in the archipelago or skerries of
Nøtterøy
|
|
Walter and Josh having a dip in the drink.
Beautiful view of the skerries of Nøtterøy. |
|
|
The boys hard at work, showing off their swimming
capabilities. Sverre, Jorunn's second husband and
the owner of the sailing boat has just had a quick swim. |
|
|
Sverre's mast with the back of Walter in the foreground.
Sverre at the helm of his boat. |
|
|
Fooling around, Walter and Josh.
The skerries again, made by the glaciers some 10-15000
years ago. |
|
|
Sverre's main sail. Walter trying to make
himself useful. |
|
|
Lee and Walter with his false teeth. Walter,
Lee and Josh. |
|
|
Sverre, Tanya's uncle at one stage. Sverre was married to
Tanya's father's youngest sister, Jourunn. Beautiful view of
the islands.
|
|
|
Summer places are abundant on Nøtterøy and the adjacent
islands. One famous house. |
|
|
The main house of Husøysund, an old smugglers harbor on
Nøtterøy. |
|
Braai at Dad Martin's place
|
|
After the sailing trip, the visitors came back to Martin's.
Here you have two guests, Asbjørn a long term friend of Tanya and Paul,
Tanya's oldest cousin, some 7 years older. Asbjørn to the
left and Paul to the right, rather sleepy. |
|
|
Paul and Martin having an aquavit. Nice tradition Norwegian
beverage. Martin giving a toast. We are all sitting around
the table to one of Martin's lodgers, JAP. |
|
|
A frozen bottle of aquavit. This is the way it should be
served. Martin loves frying fat. You really appreciate how
much calories there are in fat when you watch it burning for hours. |
|
|
Paul and Asbjørn dishing up some more goodies from the braai.
Paul looking a little skeptical to the braai. |
|
|
Paul and Dad Martin enjoying a beer. Asbjørn
and Tanya met in 1989. Tanya was then 8 years old. |
|
|
Asbjørn is a nice guy, well trained and has just finished
his MSc in Computer Science at Oslo University. Martin taught him computers
from 1989 and onwards. Like brother and sister, Tanya and
Asbjørn has always gone along very well over the years. Asbjørn still has to
visit South Africa do. He may do that when Tanya returns to this crime
ridden country with some 30 000 murders a year. |
|
|
Nice flames late at night burning some fat. After
the meal, the guests went for a walk at the seaside, but Josh forgot
Martin's camera so there are no picture from that trip. |
|
