Seeing the country side.

Well it was a busy week last week.  I did not get up to much besides work, at least not from the weekend until Thursday. However on Thursday I was invited for supper at Angelika and Harvey's place. I know Angelika and Harvey from when I was here in 2010.  They were on the NPI cruises I participated in then. 

I will be house/dog sitting for Angelika and Harvey for the last week in June and in July while they go on holidays.  As such it was a good idea for me to go see the place and to meet Yukon, their dog.

They live in this beautiful little village about 30km away from Tromso. It sits in a bay with snow capped mountains around, green little mountain pastures and farm land, and just amazing views.

Supper, an Svalbard goose, being de-feathered.
After a dinner of the breast meat from a svalbard goose that Harvey shot a few weeks ago we went for a nice hike with the dog.  Yukon seemed to like me, which is good.  He is a real dog-sledding dog, a working dog...very high energy, very, very strong.
