Latest News 2012
15 May 2012 - This week is a big week for Norwegians. The 17th of May is the Norwegian Constitution Day. The constitution declared Norway to be an independent nation. Read more here...
25 April 2012, I have now heard that there will be skydiving from an old WW2 Dc-3 at 'The Kristiansand Air Show' on 12th May 2012, which would be fantastic to see. Can be up to 20 skydivers in that plane! Will post more when I hear more!
25 April 2012, I decided that the SAS Airlines logo needed to be on this website. Why? Because they are by far the best and most reliable airline in Scandinavia! I have also travelled on Norwegian and found the service to be second rate, so I would choose them over any other airline - everytime! Like most traditional airlines, SAS has been struggling financially, so every little bit helps! (I have not been paid to say this, I just think they should have the credit they deserve!!!)
23rd April 2012, We have just updated the website with information on Norwegian language courses here.
21 April 2012: A fairly cold start to the weekend. 5 degrees celcius today, but even so, not a bad day for a boat trip along the river in Kristiansand! There is a picture below from today! It is on of my sons trying to stay warm!
19th April 2012, Here is our new logo for the Visit Kristiansand website!
19th April 2012, unfortunately the trial has started for Anders Breivik (person responsible for the atrocities in Oslo last year). This trial will be a sad time for Norwegians. They are looking forward to moving on with their lives. You will see when you visit Norway that they are loving and caring people with the highest of morals. A proud and strong nation.
13th April 2012. Here is our new Kristiansand logo. We hope you like it! It was inspired by the Fiskebyrgga (fish market) in Kristiansand. If you need a new logo, call these guys.
Latest on the weather: After a warm patch of weather here in Kristiansand, it has definitely cooled down again. We had a few weeks of 15 and up, but now it is back to maximum temperatures of 8 degrees! No need for winter tyres now when driving in Kristiansand, but it can be icy in the mornings, so be careful. But when the sun is shining, it is a perfect opportunity to take some pictures of Kristiansand in the spring time. Below is a picture of a father and son fishing at Hamresanden. You can see our Spring pictures of Kristiansand here.
We have also taken many videos of Kristiansand in the Spring. You can see them here.
27th March 2012. Well after a trip to Australia expecting to come back to Kristiansand full of snow. I was pleasantly surprised. See the latest picture on the forum.
On the 12th of May 2012, the Norwegian Airforce is having an airshow at Kjevik. It is called the Bernt Balchen Airshow named after a famous Norwegian pilot of the same name. This is a great day for the whole family. They will be having hotdogs and lemonade for the kids with proceeds going to the local sports committee. Don't miss it and don't forget the camera!
17/2/2012: We are now making logos for companies both in Norway and overseas. If you are interested in a new logo for your business, please let us know. It helps keep this free Kristiansand website going!
3rd February 2012 - an amazingly beautiful day in Kristiansand. Yes, it was bitterly cold, but with views like this, it is hard not to like this place...This is the Wideroe plane from Bergen landing at Kjevik across from Hamresanden.
We had some visitors today. Check out their tracks in the snow...
Kristiansand experienced the worst storm in a long time on Tuesday 3rd Jan 2012. There was chaos everywhere. Flights couldn't land at Kjevik (local airport), boats and cars were damaged. Hope there isnt anymore of those!
Just on that note, please know that the pictures on this home page are from the winter. Kristiansand is not like this all year round! We have lovely summers here. In fact, all of the seasons are enjoyable.
Here is the live weather forecast for Kristiansand.
