The end

Hello!
This is the last day of our incredible journey. It is going to be quite sad when this amazing adventure is over. We are going to miss all the great places we have visited, all the people we have met, and last but not least you guys!  
But we still got some precious time left. Our plane does not leave until 9am. Right now we are playing in the water, and tanning. Finally we can just relax after some stressful couple of weeks.

We have learned very much on this journey. Our English has gotten better, and we have become more independent. Getting away from school and nagging families has also been good for us.
We have been in five countries and on all of the continents in 15 days! Impressive? Of all the destinations we have visited, we all agree on that we enjoyed our stay in India the most. That was because they had a completely different culture there, than what we have home in Norway.


   But now it has come to an end. Goodbye<3

Summertimee!!

Now we have arrived heaven! White beaches as long as the eye can see. Turquoise ocean and cute little straw huts all over. Can you guess where we are?

Now we have to go live our lives! The beach is waiting!!

LOTR tour!

Hi readers!
Yesterday we were on an unforgettable tour. A Lord of the rings tour! It was so awesome. We were at the exact location where Edoras the capital city of the Rohan people in the trilogy.  There we got se exclusive behind the scenes photos from the construction of Edoras. We saw The Misty Mountains, which formed the backdrop to Helms Deep. Half way through the tour we had a lovely champagne picnic lunch. Then we got to handle famous movie replicas. For example  Aragon’s sword, king Theoden’s sword, Gimli’s axe, Gandalf’s staff and flag of Rohan. Awesome! We understood at once why the actors and crew fell in love with this place.

Today we have spent travelling, you will get to know more about it tomorrow.
Bye!!

New Zealand

We arrived Wellington late yesterday. From there its was a long drive to Queenstown. We are going there because all the "Lord of the rings tours" depart from there. And that is our plan for today!
We did not know much about Queenstown before we came here, and all we have seen yet is:

Nature! Nice huh?
Now we are looking forward to see some "Lord of the rings nature" instead! It is going to be the time of our lives! Julie has been looking forward to this tour the whole trip! I think she only came because of it. She has been jumping up and down all morning, quoting Frodo, her idol. I think this is her favorite quote: "I have to leave the Shire. Sam and I must get to Bree". She have said it at least five times full of compassion. The last time she actually started crying. We live in a cabin, and it don't have the most solid floor. So now Sunniva sat on top of Julie to make her stop jumping. It apparently works, because now she lays completely still, only whispering "my precious" with a strange accent. I think I have to go help Sunniva, because now we are leaving for the tour.


Have a nice day! We will!

At Alaska airport

Good morning readers!
Right now we are having a cup of tea in a lovely little cafĂ© here in Alaska airport. We have just checked in our bags and suitcases, and now we are just waiting for the gate to open. Sunniva is eating a chocolate-chip cookie, and Julie a blueberry smoothie. Oda, on the other hand, is just drinking water. She is still having some trouble with her stomach. We all hope she gets better soon, so she can enjoy the rest of the vacation.
Earlier this morning, outside the airport, we met our great friend Ingrid. She had just gotten her sexy, Norwegian ass to Alaska, and she felt amazing. We have known Ingrid for eight years, and it was so much fun to see her again. What are the odds for meeting an old, Norwegian friend in this deserted area? We told Ingrid all about our trip, and told her things to do when she is in Alaska.  Especially, we recommended her to go rafting, and to see all the eight Harry Potter movies.
We took a shot of Ingrid inside the airport with a popcorn bowl, dosen't make sense to us either.
see yah in New Zealand <3

River rafting!

Yesterday we went river rafting! Now we are going to tell you all about the drama in the Matanuska river. Before we began rafting we got some basic but important instructions that we had to follow at all times. There was one especially message. "Do not at any time through the rafting trip stand up in the boat!", the instructor said with his strict voice, that hinted a small Russian accent. Oda did not pay attention to the instructor. She was more fascinated by the cute guy standing next to her. Ten minutes later we were in the rafting boat.

Rafting:D

We maneuvered our way through the river with awesome skills for the first couple of meters. Suddenly, Oda stands straight up in the boat and screams "Look! A beaver." The river led us into an abrupt turn and Oda lost her footing, and got thrown over board. The instuctor rolled his eyes and made a "sight". Then he jumped in and saved Oda. Oda and the instructor swam to shore while the rest of us rafted on. End of story.

Today we have just chilled in the cabin. Oda has fantasied about the instructor that saved her yesterday. The lucky guy has now becomed her hero, and great rescuer. While Julie and Sunniva has decided to make something useful out of their day, and watch all eight Harry Potter movies! Anyway see you later awesome readers!<3

   

Alaska, Alaska, Alaska

Hello lovely followers! We love you guys so much, and appreciate your support!
vinderhaug -
We have finally arrived Alaska, after a looooong ride!! We rented a car in New York and drove all the way. Maybe not the best idea, but Oda insisted because she got diarrhea while we were in New York. She wanted to be able  to go to the toilet whenever she had to, and for as long as she needed. This would have been possible on a plane to, but she don´t like people staring. 

The cabin we are staying in. A beautiful sight. Right? 
Now we have gotten our strength back from the LONG road trip, and are on our way out to do some river rafting! We are going to the Matanuska river. We´ll tell you guys how it went tomorrow :) 
sry the blog entry got a little fucked up
