At the evening we take you to Merdø, the diamond of Sørlandet. Merdø is an Island.
We go to have a swim or a sunbath when the evening falls on. When is getting dark, we take on better clothes and go out in a boat to catch crabs.
If we are lucky we can find some of the greatest crabs.

We take them and cook them in a cettle. Let's go ashore on Torungen (if is a lighthouse in the ocean) and make a delicius meal there.

At the same time we can look at the stars on the sky! OH, so romantic! When its bedtime we will take you to Tyholmen. - Tyholmen is a hotel there you are going to spend the night.

Then we are going up to Gaustatoppen. Gaustatoppen is one of Norway's highest mouintains. Gaustatoppen is 1883 meter high.
When we are getting up to the top, I think it is a little bit dark, but we can still see at Norway's finest wood from the top. We can see the northlight on the sky, and the hot wind is blowing the hair!
A friend of us is very good with fishing. Then we can barbeque fishes on the fire at eveningsfood. At night we sleep in a tent. Norway is ineredible!
