I am on my second pair of these now, I have actually never been so addicted to any boot or shoe before that I just had to buy the same again when the first pair was worn out. Great for everyday use and light walks and comes in a low and mid (as shown) model. See more at http://www.crispi.it/.
Recommended Sturdy Shoe or Low Boot
Fallen
As Black Metal is probably Norway biggest cultural export ever, many out there are probably waiting for this. “Fallen”, the new Burzum album, is released today. I have had a sneak listen and it sound as awesome as one should expect.

Nisyros Island Virtual Tour
Yes, I have had my reservations in the past, but my predictions luckily has turned out all wrong for this island. Today it stands out as just about the perfect Greek island for me. Please do visit. At least a virtual visit cannot hurt: http://www.greecevirtual.gr/en/dodecanese/nisyros
TILOS PASSION FOR LIFE
About time to uncover some real favorite islands. First out is Tilos:
Guided walking on Crete and Nissiros
If you have wanted to do some serious walking in Greece, but never dared, did you ever consider taking some guided walks? A great opportunity for beginners and also a good way of getting more local information as well as new acquaintances. These walking enthusiasts are mostly geared towards Scandinavians.
Walking in Amsterdam
A new book from Sunflower just arrived the scene. Makes me want to revisit Amsterdam, I have no idea when I will have time to do that though… For now I have made a small Amsterdam Page on my website, so you can refer to that one, maybe at some point something will happen…

God Jul
Just received these Christmas and new years wishes from one of the hotels I mentioned below. That seems like a fitting end to this years efforts and I can only pass it on to everyone:
Which Hotel Lagos (The Algrave)
A walking holiday based in Lagos could not be made better than by staying at the Albergaria Marina Rio. Perfectly situated more or less AT the bus station and in a short walking distance from the trains. And the old town in just next door.
