This is a movie! The drone shot of the sunset illuminating the lighthouse was breathtaking. Thank you for taking us along on an adventure today!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Agreed the footage and editing is better than tv. How you don’t have your own Netflix series yet is wild lol😅
Yes. The footage was breathtaking.
Only 6 more days now Cecilia and Cristoffer... the sun will set, and you'll have twilight for the first time in ages.
Yessss! ( :
Christopher is the human comfort zone -- a giant teddy bear🧸
THIS is why you have over 800k subscribers. Beautiful and educational video. Thank you!
"Grim would love this place."
Me, imagining Grim bouncing around the rib boat, tongue flapping in the wind, drool flying everywhere: Yeah, that sounds about right
I LOVE learning about other cultures, especially Swedish and Norwegian 🤩😍😍😍😍
Out-did yourselves! Absolutely gorgeous and filmed to perfection. Thank you for taking us along on this exceptional journey!
it was just so delightful! the music, the scenes!
Wonderful!! All of it and the joy!!!
When Christopher is truly happy, you can read it from his smile！ He really loves the properties on this small island! He belongs to the ocean！😂😂😂😂
As an American Swede, I love the translation of "jävlig god fisk" to "really good fish". The editing out of Swedish swearing makes me laugh every time.
Hahahah 😂

Christopher did not look too happy on the boat ride home again!! What a wonderful 24 hours, thank you for taking us along for the ride!!
Haha he LOVED this stay! 🙌🏻
Making every Sunday better!!!
Totally agree, I look forward to this video every Sunday!😊
Same here 😊
yes! we had our second coffee and watched:)
Absolutely 😊
WOW! Thank you for a fantastic video, truly capturing Pater Noster and the history of this isolated lighthouse island. We were thrilled to have the chance to welcome you & Christoffer to our home on the horizon. ❤
Thank you so much for having us! We loooved it! Ps: your staff is incredible! Thank Isabella from us! 🙏🏻🩵
I remember my childhood seeing this, my Grandfather was the master light keeper on a Lighthouse on the east coast of Sweden (Örskär), who is a bigger island then this, so my summers up until i was 16 was spent helping my grandfather, exploring the island and just having fun with my sister and cousins.
How very cool!
I lived on an island in the summers in Lake Superior with no internet, running water or electricity. There is a working lighthouse on the island. It was the highlight of my life - so relaxing and stress free!
Whitefish Point? I'm a fellow Michigander too! ❤. I have yet to see Lake Superior when it's not froze over
@@jenniferhall4880 no, the Apostle Islands in Wisconsin near Bayfield.
I love the look and smile on Christopher's face when you said "that was quite a ride". He truly was enjoying it! ☺
Cecilia and Christofer - you outdid yourselves this time! What an experience!!🎉 Thank you from my 77 year old heart for taking me along!!! Love, ❤
What an intro! Your reading passion shows in your ability to compose so well.
Wow, thank you! 😊🙌🏻
Wow, what a treat! This was incredible. Thanks for this magnificent video, Cecilia & Christopher. The history you told us of this lil’ Lighthouse island is incredible. Looking forward to your future videos. So ready for your book! Blessings. ❤️👍🇺🇸
Thank you so so much! 😊🩵
What a fabulous adventure! Living vicariously through you😊
What a truly WONDERFUL vlog today.
I absolutely love your vlogs Cecilia and Christoffer, you are always so informative.
What a beautiful location, and warmer weather than you are both used to. Just love the photography and the history you gave us.
Well done to you both.
Plus the food looks AMAZING for such a remote place.
Thank you.
Cecilia, I don’t often comment, but I just want to say that you are such a gifted storyteller - par excellence! Every single video is a gem. Like all of your subscribers, I find myself totally immersed in what you present and, thoroughly enjoy your adventures with you. I thank you for that.
Your film-making is magical, because you can achieve that level of sincere interest from, I am sure, all of us.
Actually, and I’m not exaggerating, one of four movies that remain in my mind for superb cinematography, which could draw me into the mood and atmosphere of the surrounding scenery, was David Watkin’s spectacular, Oscar-winning cinematography for Out of Africa. He drew us in and gave audiences a real feel of that amazing country and landscape.
You manage to do the same with your, Cristoffer’s and Grim’s lives and travels, in such a basically untouched area of our beautiful planet. You are able to capture the mood and “atmosphere” of your surroundings. So, I believe you’re in good company!
Thank you for sharing your marvelous talents with us. It is always truly appreciated. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 🎉 💕
-------------
Ps. Just for trivia’s sake, the other 3 movies that remain in my mind for spectacular cinematography are:
1) Freddie Young’s amazing work in Lawrence of Arabia, capturing spectacular desert scenes and up-close depictions of the characters and situations
2) Freddie Young again for Ryan’s Daughter, another David Lean film, capturing rural, coastal Ireland. (I guess you can throw in Freddie Young again for a third David Lean film Dr. Zhivago)
3) John Seele for his work in Witness, perfectly capturing Amish country and Amish life in Pennsylvania.
Make a movie one day, Cecilia. Or a full-length documentary. It would win awards! ❤
The decorative features of the lighthouse are beautiful. It is nice that it wasn’t just functional, but also decorative.
And this is why we love your videos so much! What a wonderful place you and Christofer stayed at. Love the history and the amenities were incredible ❤
Thank you for braving the heights in order to share that fabulous view with us🙌🏾
Cecilia and Christoffer, thank you so much for sharing this adventure with us! The video is absolutely amazing! I love the beauty, history and remoteness of the island. Every meal looked so delicious and the inn looked so cozy! This is now one of my dream destinations ❤❤❤❤
I just love you guys! Such a great vibe, and I enjoy seeing Christoffer smile so much. You looked lovely all dressed up in your sparkly skirt for the wine tasting, Cecilia! And thanks for the tip on Mattias Tell. His acoustic music is haunting. He has a new YT subscriber thanks to you!
Excellent! Love learning the history and seeing all of the old buildings! Great job!
Hello Cecilia am watching from the beautiful island of Jamaica 🇯🇲 in the west indies love your videos I look forward to seeing them and more thank you
Cecilia and Christofer, I am watching your videos from Slovakia. You are amazing, I am looking forward to the next video, bye. bye.
Thank you Cecilia for being your true self, just being natural and lovely without stupid filters or fake facade, you are so important for this world please never change yourself, you are so beautiful and have the purest heart and truly an amazing role model ❤
It's sad the lighthouse isn't used like it once was. Here in Michigan we have 150 lighthouses. They're hauntingly beautiful reminders of our history. We just got back from a vacation on the coast of Lake Michigan where there is a lighthouse right outside our Condo. It's so beautiful
I am in Holland, MI right now 😊
Loved this video loved it! I’m an American Swede because of my mother.
Thank you so much for showing us things in this world that we never would have known existed. I love watching you live your best life.
I absolutely loved this!! Thank you so much for taking us along. I know it added work to your fun, but it was so lovely! I will probably never get to go there, so to experience it through your eyes was awesome. Again... thank you!! P.S. Christopher's vibe at 14:35 was so great! And your fits throughout were spot on! Loved your nails!
When you first mentioned about the three families living on the island I thought they all better get along since you can’t really get away from each other. And then later when you said the teacher sometimes left the island pregnant I thought well SOMEBODY is getting along. Yikes. But, still, how amazing that these kinds of places existed.
I love lighthouses! Such a beautiful island.
Thank you so much for taking us with you on this breathtaking excursion. How lovely to be on that tiny island with each other and treated to such hospitality. I’ve loved every minute of the years I’ve spent watching your life on Svalbard. Hugs to you, Cristofer, and sweet Grim🧡🧡🧡🐾. Have a wonderful week✨
Hi Cecilia , I’m from Brazil and just found out about your channel. Let me tell you - I’m obsessed with it ! I’ve been marathoning all your content and I love it ! I’ve already lived in Sweden because of my work and I love it. Your island is beautiful !
Again, I loved your chanel.
I wish you guys the best .
I must say this was a treat! All so unique. I think the pricing was just fine for what you two received. Love hearing the seagulls. Beautiful drone shots. Thank you
Cecilia this was absolutely fantastic! The music, your commentary and the sights. Loved it!! 🤍
This is so fascinating. I love hearing history and considering and hadn’t even heard of Svalbard before, finding your videos shows that you have taught me so much. (And I’m 64!😮) And your voice is so good, I could see you do audio books. The editing in this video is outstanding (like always) ❤
Aww thank youuuu! 😊❤️
Same here, I'm 69!
@@bethb7965hello 👋 from Poland 🇵🇱🐶 and my lifestyle and rural life channe!
Swedish people have such class like in other countries you would probably be able to visit and maybe buy a bag of chips and a coke on an island but no in Sweden you can dress up an have a nice dinner that is probably still affordable :) looked like such a good experience
The experience for 24 hours like this one is 2000 USD. It’s not affordable for most people.
Ok, what a very cool experience! What an idyllic, magical place!
Also, Christoffer doing the tongue twister was the funniest thing ~ he sounded like an old grandma! 😂
Marianna
Hahaha 😂🩵
That lighthouse island is a perfect getaway. There’s nature, history, comfortable cottages and delicious food, plus an opportunity to be waited upon. What an adventure! Thanks for bringing us with you. 💐
Christopher seemed to be in his element on that island. He smiled more than I think I've ever seen him smile in your vids. He even laughed! Normally he's very stoic. I look forward to you finding your very own Swedish island. For Christopher. 😆😆😆
Beautiful shots filmed throughout. Thank,you for taking us with you !!! Love your videos and excitement to life in general!!!!
Thank you for taking us with you, the place is wonderful 🙂🧡
With all the troubles in the world, It's great to switch on to a video that's so cheerful and positive. I love islands and lighthouses, and riding in a fast moving boat ! Your video has all three. Your telling of the history of the islands buildings shows you'd make a very good tour guide. I found it very enlightening. Imagine so many shipwrecks in times past ! I loved the buildings on the island... simple and wooden, but very pretty. Homely too, I'd say.
Love seeing Christopher so at peace and being a good fur parent thinking of Grimm:-)
Really anticipating another year of polar night and your heartwarming and cosy coverage of it!
Such a heartwarming experience. Thank you for spreading information on obscure places that have such history. I would never have known about this beautiful goldmine, located on our amazing earth, if it wasn’t for you both taking us along. Thank you for enriching my life, I so much appreciate it. ❤
Loved this video!! For the first time since being a child and visiting Lithuania, I recently had a holiday where it felt like time stood still and didn’t just fly by and I got to enjoy every little moment and this week’s episode seemed to encapsulate that same vibe. I discovered you about 18 months ago and just genuinely look forward to Sunday nights to see what your next adventure was!
Also, the clip of you in the robe saying “well, this is a look” and then walking away leaving Christoffer on the step in his robe was hilarious. You had this “we look ridiculous” tone in your voice and Christoffer had this “we look AMAZING” vibe about him. Fabulous. 😂❤
Absolutely Breathtaking. I love lighthouses and the mysteries surrounding them. Thankyou for taking us along on your adventure. This was truly a spectacular vlog. ❤
What a cool experience! Beautiful island. I was at the nearby island Marstrand a few years ago. It's also an absolutely stunning island with a proper village that has many typical Swedish houses in all colors.
You guys go to the best places ever. Thank you for bringing us along to places i didn’t know existed. Love you ❤
Our pleasure! 🩵🩵
I love how remote this island is! South Africa also has a small town on the west coast called Paternoster, with a nearby lighthouse
Coffee and an adventure. Love Sundays! Absolutely gorgeous place! Reminds me of some places in New England. It looked so fun and relaxing. 🥰
Christopher in that robe and hat was definitely a vibe! I love it
Great trip, thank you for taking us along
Ok, loved this! I agree the price isn't bad for all you get. That place is amazing!! Oh my goodness it was so relaxing to watch. Being out there on that island, man, with all the history behind it! So cool. I want to stay there, with those views, hot tub overlooking the ocean and amazing food and company. Love it! Thank you for sharing this with us. I never knew about this place.
I just stumbled upon your videos and I’ve been watching a few. I just have to say your videography skills are absolutely incredible. I have a feeling of wanderlust seeing your content, I want to see more of the world. 😢
What a magical place to visit. So isolated yet beautiful.
Couldn't agree more! 😊😊
What a lovely adventure. Truly amazing! I have never heard of any of the places your share on your channel. Cecilia, I found you by accident and I am so glad I did. What a magnificent life you two have.
Thank you for making my day , all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
We just got back from South Africa. Such a magnificent country ❤
@@christinejensen3534 oh nice where did you guys go ?
@@user-tl9vk5md1z We spent some time on a safari in Sabi Sands Reserve and then a few days in beautiful Cape Town 🇿🇦
I miss Fitch & Leedes sodas desperately. I fell madly in love with them and they are not available in the US 😭😭
@@christinejensen3534 that’s beautiful I hope you got to see the kings o the jungle , Cape Town rocks too beautiful place , how was the weather ?
The inside top of the lighthouse at 9:21 looked very ornate and colourful….beautiful 🔱. Thanks for a lovely video Cecilia!
I was just looking for your video at the same time you were posting it.😂
I want to learn Swedish because I love the lilting sound of the phrases and the feeling of saying the words.
I was binging on Ruth Aisling's remote Scottish islands videos to see your video on a remote Swedish island. Makes me want to hightail it to visit one.😅😅Hello to Christoffer!
Absolutely gorgeous! You can always make a living filming travel documentaries. That was really pleasant.
Happy Sunday y'all.. ❤. Beautiful video as usual.
Absolutely stunning video! Your cinematography is fantastic, your attention to historical details so interesting, and sharing your experiences with us definitely a 10 out of 10. Thank you so much for the adventure. Outstanding. ❤
Wow!! That looked like an amazing and beautiful adventure! Loved the video.
You two are so adorable together and it's nice to see you enjoy a vacation. That was a fantastic place and the dinner looked so inviting. I love how Christoffer kept saying how much Grimm would love it.
What a cool little experience! You guys always find the most unique places. Btw....❤ that silver skirt!!
I love your videos so much! I rewatch the old ones all the time, it's so relaxing I can just leave it on in the background while I get other things done. I just wish I could pet Grim for a few hours. What a cute doggo!
I always look forward to your videos
That breakfast with the gulls in the background plus the sea views is my concept of heaven!
Hello from Sweden dear Cecilia and Christoffer and I remeber that place from sjöväders rapporten on the news as a child, Pater Noster, Fladen Grund och Doggers Bankar as well. Wonderful place, love the solitude and the views! Shipwreck Island is a good name, many ships hit the cliffs in bad weather there before the lighthouse was built! Those beacons in the dark has saved many ships and sailors throughout the years. Greetings to my favorite family from Svalbard and thank you both for so many happy Sundays in your company! Pats to sweet Grim too!❤
This was so fun to see! You and Christopher looked 10/10 for your dinner!
You truly have a gift for story telling I’m also a captivated audience. I also love your energy, positivity and enthusiasm for life.
What a lovely and unexpected adventure! Cicilia: Your photography and videography keep impressing me. Your eye for views and colors and time spend on quiet scenes to enjoy is so so skilled. Especially the close-ups of the flowers were a wonderful comparison to the tundra flora on Svalbard. Lots of love from far away❤
Woow thank you so much! 🙏🏻🩵😊
What an amazing place Cecelia!!!! I am living vicariously through you and i appreciate the time you spend showing us all the wonders of the world.
It's the goofy hats with the swimsuits that do it for me 🤣
They look like the old fisherman hats... and I wondered if it was just a design choice for the raingear.
Love seeing you both live out your dreams! Thank you for showing us parts of the world we otherwise may never have the opportunity to learn about!
Good Day !
Grimmmmmmm !!!
Hi Cecilia, Christopher and Grimm. Thank you for taking us to this beautiful adventure, i love history. Tack sa mycket!
Cecilia and Kristoffer, what a fascinating video.I was glued to it. I appreciate that is a lot of work and always such quality. THANKYOU❤
So glad you enjoyed it! 😊🙏🏻
Such a stunning video, hotel, island…everything is so beautiful. And that song is absolutely perfect for that island. Your channel is in my top 5 to watch. Thank you for sharing. And it was so nice to see Christopher laughing since he is usually so quiet.
Hello from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
This was a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing your adventures with those of us who live vicariously through you, Christoffer and grim. Missed your fur baby this week. ❤
Älskar att du sa ”jävligt god fisk” men översatte till ”really god” 😂
Ni är för underbara! Så kul att följa era äventyr och liv på Svalbard.
😂😂😂
What a beautiful island! I would LOOOOOOOVE to stay there. And I can imagine that Grim would’ve had a rare old time there with you, if he’d gone along. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning from the USA 😊
Thank you for another amazing video. I love seeing the world through your eyes and your lenses. You imagine are breathtaking and really capture the essence of the place you show us.
What a wonderful morning! Have a blessed week. That ride looked so fun. This island adventure was such a wonderful experience for you both.
I love when they repurpose lighthouses and keep the history alive for people to visit. And they make them into B&B stays and such. It’s so cool to see how these people lived. I couldn’t have done it. I give those families a LOT of credit. Because alone on that rock of an island or any island without large mountains would make nervous of severe storms and huge waves or rogue waves. So those lighthouse keepers back in the day were a special breed of people to be able to do it. I know some lighthouses they switched every couple days or a weekly that’s more tolerable to me. But living on the island. Just wow.
And such a tiny island! You could easily go stir crazy. I wonder if people did. I wonder if there are journals from that time. Though if there are, they likely would not have been translated to English. I would love to know in depth about these people and their lives. It's a charming little tourist stop now. But it must have been brutal then, especially in really bad weather. Can you imagine those people coming forward in time and seeing this video? It's wild how times change.
Don't let the rich and famous get a hold of this vacation spot... What fun! Looks like all the comforts of home with the most rugged off environments. ( It's literally a flat rock slap dap in the ocean). You surprised us with such an amazing place to visit .Kristopher looked so happy. ❤ Your channel
"Don't let the rich and famous get a hold of this vacation spot" Well they already know of it since a stay was one of the gifts in the goody bag awarded to the nominees at the 2021 Oscars . Place has also won some prestigious awards for the concept.
Christopher and Cecilia, it truly was a great over nighter!
If it weren’t for you both, we would have never known places like these. Thank you, Thank you for posting this wonderful place.
First?!
Thank you for taking us on your adventures. This is such a beautiful magical place. I vote for you guys getting your own little island 😊
Wonderful video again Cecilia. Thanks for taking me places I will likely never get to. I do plan on visiting Sweden. My great grand parents came from Sweden to the US in 1881.
