Norway! Haugesund, Stavanger, Karmøy!

Assalamualaikum,

While the family in Brunei enjoying the sun with a picnic that I envy a lot,this year I spent my winter holiday at a Norwegian home, Ann Kristin Simonsen, A great friend whom was an exchange student to my uni. (Newcastle University Upon Tyne) in 2008/09. South-west of Norway, Karmøy is a peaceful area, very quiet and relaxing!!

A perfect break from the stressful days of uni. & city!

I have posted more pictures on facebook.

I woke up from a silent night and have breakfast in the living room. The view outside is not the usual highways,

cars, buses, noises!! Very relaxing environment!

and when it snows it gets better!!

Landed at Haugesund airport from London Stansted and stayed 5 days in Karmøy. We took day trips to Stavanger and Haugesund. Many thanks to Trygve, Ann Kristin and Family for bringging us around.

First dinner, we had smoked salmons with salads.

Hazelnuts and Walnuts to crack!!

First day, we took a boat trip to Stavanger with breath-taking sceneries.

In Stavanger, we had a tour around the town that seem to look like a 'playhouse town' and made few stops for the lake, church, market and oil museum. We also had an amazing crusted margherita pizza at Dolly Dimples Pizza Pizza.

Third day we went to the coast and Haugesund town! There we had the Verdens Beste!

The next morning, we woke with thick snow outside the house. So we decided to visit Kristin's families!!

This house is by the sea!

Our last dinner we had homemade FiskeBoller I Hvit Saus (Fishcakes in white sauce).

Before our flight we managed to get to the Viking Museum!

Alhamdulillah, it was a perfect uni. break ever! There are more photos on facebook. I miss Norway soo much that I hope I will visit them again next time. With this post, I would like to say Happy New Year 2010! Mudah-mudahan semua sihat sejahtera, di murahkan rezeki selalu, panjang umur dan sentiasa hidup aman damai bahagia and cemerlang!!

So here it is!! A wonderful dessert Ris Krem = Rice Cream!!

We did'nt have the patience to get caramel sauce from the store so made some myself!!

Cooking Ris Krem and Caramel

Before we made caramel sauce we tried it with chocolate sauce, milo, icing sugar, condensed milk and also Fererro!

It is still best with the Caramel!!

Mudahan-mudahan seluruh keluarga saya dalam keadaan sihat.

Thank you,
Mimah
