Guestbook

Dear Bjørn,
I'm one of the 10 people that managed to squeeze in your awesome cabin by the harbour.
In particular I'm the one that wants to get rid of his studies, come back there and learn the art of fishing, enjoying a completely different life.
Our trip was certainly much fun, but spending some time in your village was for sure one of the biggest pleasures.





I loved going around with your boat, meeting your friendly son and wife, and for sure tasting that super salmon! (I should have bought some to bring back home..)
Thanks for giving us the BARENTS Experience and don't think that you've managed to get rid of us!


We'll come back!

What an amazing experience!
My sister (Annelie) and I had only a few days to travel in Norway after my conference and obviously wanted to make the most of it. Fortunately she discovered this website and booked us in for the night of the 14th of June.
The drive to Gjesvær was like driving on the roof of the world. Amazing scenery of snow and ice!
Just before midnight we walked through a part of the quiet town and was fortunate to see the sun peeking out from behind the clouds at midnight.
The next morning I fulfilled my dream of swimming in the North. It was a cold, windy morning but mind over matter and I was in the Barents Sea. Admittedly, it wasn't a long swim due to the temperature :-)



Then we went on the boat cruise to Gjesværstappen. As a biologist, it was a real special treat to see the marine mammals in their natural environment and to see the breeding birds in their numbers. Thank you Bjørn for the wonderful hospitality. Hope to see you and Gjesvær again some day.

Best wishes,

Dear Friends Bjørn and Helene
I want to say that people should look towards the North more often! Go against the wind and get ruddy cheeks on your way to the peak of North Cape - the Knivskjellodden. Enjoy the Barents sea subtle scent of salt. Climb mountains, breathe the soft spiced air, sit daydreaming while watching the changing color of the waves. In Gjesvær the simple things of nature have a message you understand, and you can rejoice because your soul is alive.
North and specially Gjesvær is the best!

You can see where the day lies quietly dreaming in the pale fire of the midgnight sun, and flocks of seabirds here in the north, scent of flowers in the air become and new-formed lies the land of hope in the wondrous midnight sun.

Adding to the nature, the warmth of the hosts, hospitality and unique, wonderful cabin.
We can only truly own moments and memories - I thank you for the wonderful moments up in the North!

Thank you Bjørn and Helene,

The higlight of my visit to North Cape in 2007 was without any doubt the overnight stay at Bjørn and Helenes cabin. I liked it so much I just had to return in 2009. Today I am happy to call them my friends. Thank you.
