     The winter season of 2022 starts in the end of february. This time of the year you can go fishing for the big cod, or you can be served cooked cod the traditional norwegian way. Cooked in water from the ocean, served with liver and roe. The way for northern people to get enough vitamin D to keep up for the long winter without sunshine.   

 You can experience the aurore borealis in the outdoor hot water tub. Water heated up to 30° C. This is a spctacular event, and has to be prepared some hours in advance to get the water heated. It takes 8 to 9 hours of intence heating to ensure that the event shall be a sucsess. Of course the meteo must be on our side. Snow and a little wind is no problem, but the clouds and the moon shine can be. The light from ful moon can "kill" the northern lights.
