Cabin trip to Blefjell

Last weekend we went to Blefjell near Kongsberg for a cabin trip with my mother, brother and his girlfriend. It was great getting out of the city and breathe the fresh air of the mountains for a weekend. The weather was great, it was sunny and about 10 degrees - perfect conditions for outside activities.

We arrived Friday evening and enjoyed a taco and red wine meal in front of the fireplace in the cosy cabin. Saturday morning we took our time getting ready after a nice breakfast, and headed out in to the sun for a hike around the nearby lake. Some of Pernille's family (her sister with son and mother in-law) joined us for the hike as they were staying at a cabin nearby. The area was absolutely beautiful, and Isabelle was such a good little hiker - did not complain a single time! At the end of the day we grilled sausages over open fire (which took us about half an hour to get going) before heading back to the cabin for a shower, games, wine and eventually a beautiful steak.

Some photos from the Saturday hike:







Back at the cabin, Oliver (3 months old and Pernille's nephew), got a fair bit of attention:


Sunday morning we managed to get a quick hike in before heading back home. This time we started climbing the mountains behind the cabin a bit, which eventually gave us a great view of the nearby area:
