Palma Cathedral La Seu
Ulla Vinterhav Palma, July 28, 2013.
Om July 31, 2013, Ulla Vinterhav brought Moonhouse #2.22 to the Palma Cathedral La Seu on Mallorca. La Seu is an impressive building in many ways:
It is 121 metres long, 55 metres wide and its nave is 44 metres tall. Designed in the Catalan Gothic style but with Northern European influences, it was begun by King James I of Aragon in 1229 but finished only in 1601.

Congratulations Ulla on your successful expedition and fair winds on your coming adventures.

Kilimanjaro – Full report
Kilimanjaro,
Wilfred Moshi, July 1, 2013.
Wilfred Moshi, Moonhouse Explorer to the summit of Kilimanjaro sends his the story of the expedition. The expedition earned Wilfred a place in the Moonhouse Expedition Hall of fame for meeting the first of the objectives in the Summits Challenge of briging the house to the highest summits of each of the seven contients.
Hello all,
Hope you are well. I am fine.
I felt down when I couldn’t take Moonhouse up Kili sometimes early this year. But my down feelings were relieved when I did receive it 27th Jun 2013 from Christer Abrahamsson.
The expedition didn’t start until 1st Jul 2013. Moonhouse Mt. Kilimanjaro Expedition was set through Machame route (Whiskey route). I was so curious and so was everyone in the expedition due to the fact that Mt. Kilimanjaro is big mountain thus create its own weather condition. It took 6 days to go up and down Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Luck us, we had fabulous days that carry and with minimal technical we managed to unfold and place moonhouse in couple places for sharing experience with other hikers. On the “D Day” weather didn’t cooperate very well. While other expedition members experienced altitude sickness Moonhouse survived well but not through very strong wind that was blowing almost 50Km/h. At the summit we had to come up with improvisation so that it would stay still or not blown off to the crater rim.
Summited and descent safely to the Mweka gate.
Future: Planning to take Moonhouse to road trip around Tanzania, Moonhouse 2.27 may go to some expedition hikes with me….Elbrus, Denali, Aconcagua, go down into Kilimanjaro crater or into ashpit
Congratulations Wilfred on your successful expedition and fair winds for your coming adventures and look forward to reports from future expeditions.

Carl Nordlund, Arvidsjaur, Sweden July 11, 2013
Today we record a new record. On July 11, 2013 Moonhouse #2.9 ventured farther north on its expedition to Arvidsjaur than any expedition before it. The weather conditions in Arvidsjaur were so severe that a new method to secure the house against the wind had to be invented.
Congratualtions Carl on your successful expedition and fair winds (!) on your coming adventures.
Up
Inspired by the animated film Up, moonhouse #2.8 rised approximately 400 meters on a helium-driven vehicle. The launch took place on a bright swedish summer evening at ”Vretbo Space Center” near Västerås.
The craft was tethered to a fishing line, but getting it back was hard. Winds and trees made the moonhouse get stuck. With the help of arrows, neighbours and an airgun it was possible to retrieve the payload.
Moonhouse #2.8 will continue its adventures.
