Skopelos, Greece, new photo pages every day!
   
Velkommen til Skopelos!  Welcome to Skopelos!

Home      2007 Best

Thank You for the Music! 
The musical is going to be a movie!


Thank you from Skopelos!

 

Filming in Kastani Beach,
photo sent me by mail; thank you, Kathy in the UK!

Kastani, "my" beach!

 

This is the plot;
18 year old Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) has a problem. Its almost her wedding day and she doesn't know who her father is. It could be any of her mothers (Meryl Streep) past suitors: Sam (Pierce Brosnan), Bill
(Stellan Skarsgård) or Harry (Collin Firth). The only way for her to find out is to invite all three to her wedding to see what happens!

Plottet er;
18 år gamle Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) har et problem. Det er nesten hennes bryllupsdag og hun vet ikke hvem som er hennes far. Det kan være en av hennes mors beilere; Sam (Pierce Brosnan), Bill (Stellan Skarsgård) or Harry (Collin Firth).
Den eneste måten å finne ut av dette, er å invitere alle 3 til bryllupet og se hva som hender!

Agios Ioannis       Nissi

Her var det liv!
Meste av september 2007 hadde vi sellebert besøk at film-crewet, og i midten av juli 2008, - håper vi - kan alle få se filmen Mamma Mia!
Det blir lenge å vente!

Det var morsomt å se hvordan de store stjerner gikk rundt i våre gater og koste seg! Hvor var livvaktene?

Noen av de som var her var;
Meryl Streep & datter,
Amanda Seyfried,
Julie Walters,
Pierce Brosnan & familie,
Tom Hanks & frue,
Colin Firth,
Abba guttene og
Stellan Skarsgård.

De filmet flere steder på vår 
deilige Ø, bl.a.; 
Agnondas og Amaraondas,
Kastani - "min" strand,
Nissi - halvøye opp fra Glisteri,
og bryllupet foregikk på Agios Ioannis, den fantastiske lille kirken på toppen av "sukkertoppen"!

De filmet også på Skiathos 
og Pelion.

Lots of live here!
Most of September 2007 we had celebrity visits of the film-crew, and in the midst of July 2008 - we hope - all can view the movie Mamma Mia!
I just can't wait!

It was fun to see how the big starts walked around in our streets and had a good time! Where was the bodyguards?

Some of the actors were;
Meryl Streep & daughter,
Amanda Seyfried,
Julie Walters,
Pierce Brosnan & family,
Tom Hanks & wife,
Colin Firth,
the Boys from ABBA, and
Stellan Skarsgård.

They were filming in many places on our lovely island, amongst them;
Agnondas & Amarondas,
Kastani "my" beach,
Nissi, the half peninsular up from Glisteri and the wedding was at the fantastic cliff church; Agios Ioannis!

They also filmed at Skiathos 
and Pelion.

 

Bjørn from Abba

Mitt beste foto!
My best photo!

Det var litt usikkert om Bjørn Ulvaeus (ABBA) var her, men her er mitt beviset! Foto tatt på OuzoBaren tirsdag 18. september 2007!
Bjørn ser ut som en guttunge, han er 62! Er ikke hans lille 
datterdatter, Tilda 7, herlig?
Hun ligner på sin bestepappa og bestemor Agneta!
It was a bit uncertain if Bjørn Ulvaeus (ABBA) was here, but I got the proof! Photo taken on Tuesday the 18th of September 2007 at International Cafe! Bjørn looks like a young boy!
Isn't his little grandchild, Tilda 7, cute?  She looks like her grand-daddy and grand-mother Agneta!
Lucky Markus with his Hero!           Oh oh ...
          What a guy!

Det er ikke ofte jeg bruker et foto som ikke er mitt, men dette kunne jeg ikke stå for!

Norske Markus var på ferie på Skopelos og han var så heldig at han fikk tatt bilde av seg selv med Pierce Brosnan, - med sitt eget kamera! Gjett om jeg er missunnelig?
Men jeg under Markus det!

Mr. Brosnan spurte Markus hvor han var fra og en del mer! Hvilken dag!

Hørte at mr. Brosnan lot seg avbilde med flere av den yngere garden, flott gjort!

 

Not often I use a photo that is not mine, but I could not resist this one!

Norwegian Markus was on holiday on Skopelos and he was so lucky that it was taken a photo of him and Pierce Brosnan, - with his own camera!
I was a bit jealous!
But I am so happy for Markus!

Mr. Brosnan asked Markus where he is from and more!
What a big day!

I heard that Mr. Brosnan was very nice to many of the younger generation!


Pierce Brosnan, one of my favorite actors, said to the BBC News, about the Mamma Mia Production in Greece;

"What a kick in the pants, to be able to go off and spend time with Meryl on some Greek island, singing Abba songs."

Olivengren prydete kaiikier, klare for bryllup!       Kaiikia decorated with olive branches, ready for the wedding!

"I left school at 15 feeling fairly useless and not really up to scratch in my education. And I still suffer sometimes from that lack of education. As an actor, I've got by, I've had employment, I've had the good fortune to be able to work and I just feel blessed. But I do feel I have some bit of talent to create a character or move people, or entertain an audience, and that is very gratifying.” Pierce Brosnan

 

“The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.”
Robert M. Hutchins
