Being in Stavanger, a new city it could be lonely, but meeting Tom made a big difference. Well, he is from Stavanger and Nairobi too, after having visited Kenya 26 times in 19 yrs! Getting to make a home in a new land the aquitance approach is the best, with the people and the land and this started on this beautiful Wednesday of Moi day.

making of unity between leaders in Norway 1000year ago under the leadership of King Harlod 1.


Being in an new environment the body and the mind take some good time to get into the system. I have learnt that taking more time in the outside to breath the fresh air, get the cold, get rained on, meet the people, make mistakes and laugh loundly about them is a good part of life. The beauty of nature is healing and refreshing. It speaks of the greatness of the invisible maker who put it all together and his invisible nature controls it. At one point I thought, 'If I never believed then I would have believed', that is, "...since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." Warumi moja, ishirini.

Below. May be too much walking without some sleep makes Sammy and Knut dull boys!
A little rest on the pulpit rock was not that bad, especially after 2hrs 30 minutes climbing to the o the top, walking over rocks and above beautiful fjords. The trip was with Knut an electrical engeneering student at the University of Stavanger . It is amazing how friendship grows and blossoms with time and how one would give for their friends. It wa a day well spent!
