Boat trip!

Boats here are divided into 2 categories. One which focuses on the journey rather than the destination and the other where the destination is key and the journey doesn’t matter. Needless to say the former is a slow boat, and the latter the fast boat.

Trond rented a boat (you cen see it in the foreground in the pic below), the FAST kind from the guy who is the father-in-law of the guy whom they bought their car from (the guy who they bought their car from also happens to be the nephew of their landlord). Down here, everyone is related to someone… It’s a 25 seater boat. Just for the 5 of us. Bcc, trond, frode (trond’s brother), pl and I.

Boat trips here means island hopping. Going from town to town to have drinks. Our first stop was to ???? (bcc, how to spell??). We went to a bar and everyone ordered an alcoholic drink and of course me being mentally allergic to alcohol, I had a soda drink. SOLO (so high, so low… arhahaha!!). Like Fanta Orange like that. Yah lah, like some underaged c gin na, gotta go to a bar to drink soda. After that it was off to Henningsvaer, for more drinks. This time I really had Fanta Orange. Then off to Kabelvaag where I had tea for a change. And finally back to Svolvaer where we went to Bacalao and I had tea AGAIN. So it’s 2 sodas and 2 teas for me and a whole lot of alcohol for everyone else.

joke of the day: So high SO LOW

Fast boat means fast boat ok, max speed travels up to 140km/hr, with the wind in your hair and in your face. We had to wear special suits, which I guess helps to keep you dry as well as to break some of the wind. Thank goodness it was a good day, bright and sunny. The boat was very much more stable compared to the whale safari boat trip the day before where people were practically puking their guts out. At those kinds of speeds, the boat just skims across the water. The best seat was in the front. A solo seat, which we took turns sitting on. It’s like sitting at the front on the top of the double decker bus and getting to see the scenery unobstructed by others.

We ended the whole thing around 1am. But the sky was still clear and of course as usual the scenery was fantastic. With the mountains in the far far distance fading into the horizon. The sun was pretty low and the sky was in shades of pink and orange. Of course it was photo photo photo taking!!!!!!!!!

all you sad souls in sg.... DON'T BE JEALOUS!!!! whahahaha!
