What can I possibly say to apologize for having neglected my blog? Nothing really. They will all sound like cheap excuses to my own ear. So I will just pretend that there has not been any long gap between this post and the last. Hope you can do the same!
As you know, mid September I moved to Haiti with my hubby. His work has taken him there and as a supportive wife (at least supportive for three months or so) I followed suit.

Ok so after a long while of settling in, getting a job (although only locally contracted), learning the ropes, and some procrastination, here is my first post (and so far the only one) about my food adventures in Haiti. A new expatriate staff arrived one day at the end of September so hubby and I took him to a hotel which was supposed to be quite popular and interesting. It’s the Oloffson hotel in the center of Port-au-Prince.

Well, my last post was about a month ago, and that was when my hubby came back from Port-au-Prince, Haiti from the job that he has recently accepted. We have since been busy with our move, packing, getting vaccinations done and whatnot. We left Indonesia on 15th September and after 40 hours of travel from door to door (29 hours and 35 minutes of flying time), we arrived in Port-au-Prince.

During our visit to Oslo, we stayed at the Holmenkollen Park Rica Hotel. Since we took a mini-cruise package which included the mini-cruise, hotel accommodation and breakfast plus one additional meal, we chose to have our dinner at the hotel. The restaurant that was appointed to serve the additional meal was De Fem Stuer, one of their in house restaurant which seems to specialize in fine dining. We were excited to see what kind of culinary adventure awaits us.

The weekend after we came back from our mini cruise to Oslo, we went on the planned road trip to several places in Denmark: Himmelbjerget (or the heaven’s mountain, although its peak goes nowhere near heaven
) which they claim to be the highest mountain (but we later learned it was only the second highest natural point to Møllehøj), Silkeborg, Mønsted kalkgruber (chalk/lime mine), Den Gamle By (the old town) in Århus, Grenå Kattegatcentret (salt water aquarium), and ended the road trip with a visit to Djurs sommerland.
