I have left Europe.

I have left Europe and gone to Africa. 

I have actually travelled south on the continent to a town called Cape Town.

Cape Town is located in a country called Republic of South Africa. It is the largest country in Africa, 52 million people live here. It is the 25th largest country in the world.

How many people live in Norway?  

I have reached the top on a mountain called Lion`s head.

Here is picture of me from Lion`s head.

Here is the flag of South-Africa

Enjoy the summer in Norway. Down here we have winter at the moment. 

Winter is not like it is up north. Here we have a lot of rain and wind. If there are clouds around Lion`s head, it is a sign that rain is coming. 

Guess what?

Guess where am I?
After Hege travelled to Bergen, I met a nice family from Holland/Netherlands.
They wanted to take me on a trip to a river called Veluwemeer for a familiy weekend.

The family took me to play tennis. I've never played tennis before, have you?

I also got to try playing a new board game.

It was nice weather here, so I also enjoyed the sun on the trip.

We are also planning a new trip.
I hope you all are doing well at School.
See you later.

Time for new adventures.

After one week in York, I and Hege said goodbye.

Here I am at Gatwick airport. 

Hege has travelled home to Bergen and I am now waiting in Gatwick to find new travel companions.

It will be exciting to see if I meet some kind people who can help me discover new places in the world.

York and Vikings

Hi, everbody.

Now I have learned a little about York.

This is a city with a lot of history.

It turns out that York is a Viking town. The Vikings were Norwegian and there are still traces of them in the city. The Vikings called York for Jorvik. 

They also have a Viking festival here in York.

In York, the streets are called "gate" the same as in Norwegian. 

They also have some of the same words as we have.

They say "Barn" meaning Child, 

"Leik" meaning play, 

"Rive"- scratch 

"Bleik"- meaning pale

So there are traces of the Vikings in the language.

Here is a picture from a street in York.

They also have a chocolate factory here. It was here that they made the chocolate KitKat.

It is a pretty good chocolate.

My first trip.

Hi friends.

I am on my first trip out into the world. I'm going to York.

Where is York ? Well, York is a town in England. 

There are about 210,000 people living in York.

The reason I am going to  York is that Hege(teacher) is going on a study trip.

She will visit the University of York which is a large school. Here she will learn more English so she can teach you English.

When travelling to York from Bergen, we are going to fly to Gatwick airport in London. Then we need to travel by train to York.

There are a lot of exciting things to see when we are travelling.

Here I am with Hege at Bergen airport. 

Here are the view from the plane over England and Norway. There is a difference. 

More updates are coming. 

Do you know where York is? Where is New York?

Bye

York og Vikinger

Hei Haukedalen.
Nå har jeg fått lært litt om York.
Dette er en by med mye historie.
Det viser seg at York er en Viking-by. Vikingene var jo norsk og det er fortsatt spor etter dem i byen.

Gate på engelsk heter «street», så ofte inneholder gatenavnene street på slutten.
I York heter gatene: Castlegate, Fossgate, Munkgate.
De sier også ordene: Barn,leik,klegg, to kile, to rive, bleik.
Det er altså spor etter vikingene i språket.

De har også en sjokoladefabrikk her. Det var her de laget sjokoladen KitKat.
Den er ganske god.

god.

Min første tur!

Hei alle sammen.
Da er jeg på min første tur fra Bergen. Reisen går til York.
 Du lurer sikkert på hvor det er?
Vel, det skal jeg fortelle dere.

York er en by i England. Der bor det ca 210 000 mennesker.
Grunnen til jeg skal få reise til York er at Hege skal på studietur.
Hun skal besøke Universitetet i York som er veldig stort. Her skal hun lære mer engelsk slik at hun kan lære dere engelsk.

Når vi skal reise til York kan vi ikke fly bort, det er nemlig ingen flyplass der.
Derfor reiste jeg og Hege fra Bergen til London med fly, deretter skal vi ta tog fra London til York.
Det er mye spennende ting å se når vi er på reise.

Her er jeg og Hege på Flesland.

 

Her er utsikten over England                                  Her er utsikten over Bergen. Se forskjellen.

Det var spennende å fly 

Kommer snart med mer oppdateringer til dere.
Hvor ligger York? Hvor ligger New York?
