Hello All. We have arrived in Norway after a chavy North Sea. Thankyou all from the comments they are great and we enjoyed reading them. Hopefully you will see some photos we have sent home shortly . All doing well and enjoying the experience. We have even learned some Norwegian from a nice old lady on a bus eg Hi , Ya and Nae , they mean Hello , Yes and No . Everyone is keeping a log of the trip and there experience here are some extracts from the log .

I was sick and a bit of pie came oot ma nose.......I could not eat anything....I went bonkers when i arrived it was magic.......I caught a purple fish ( anyone have any idea what kind of fish it could have been) ?.....we went to the zoo in Norway ,Hamish was excited seeing the 2 humpit camels there was massive goldfish and the water park flumes were magic
Tye
I was sick in a bucket for 2 days but got my sea legs now.....i saw heaps of dolphins swimming with the boat for ages it was magic and cured my seasickness..when we parked the boat Danny caught a weird purple fish......we went to a magic park in Norway there was a scary ride iwas scared but still went on twice....I am trying to catch a fish for bar b q.
Logan
In deep sleep after leaving Peterhead , woke to Tye spewing and a lifeless Shaun....managed my first watch with Danny who spewed on and off.....the rest of the crossing was a blurr of excitement ,fear , laughs ,sick , dolphind , pot noodles and bowls of beans......A magic sunrise approaching Norway although sleep deprived very happy delighted.
On arrival had Discos fine mince n tatties .......upand away to zoo/park an ace day highlights camels and hot tubs
Shaun
Not alot to say I was in bed suffering badly , i was feeling seasick , home sick and down but everyone in the boat was supportive and helped me get through it ...thanks guys.
Had shower in dark by tourchlight! We went to the zoo liked seeing all the animals.....Hamish tried to speak to a Norwegian wifie in the bus about camels it was funny.....water park was ace.

ReplyDeleteAndrea has a few typos there I've have to get her telt :) Nae good about all the spewing but its good to hear you've all got your sea legs now. So jealous about the water park and zoo, can't wait to see all your photos! I can just imagine the conversation that went on between Hamish and the Norwegian wifie, bet it gave you all a few giggles. Enjoy every minute of it guys and remember to think about us poor souls slaving away back on dry land :) Kimberley
ReplyDeleteTye,
ReplyDeleteI'm curious - how do you park a boat?
Sounds as though you're having a brilliant time. Also sounds as though Hamish has had a deprived childhood given his excitement about the camels. Hamish, given that I sometimes struggle to understand your dialect - which I admit is a bit rich coming from a weegie - but that wee wifie on the bus was surely just being polite and making you feel welcome!!!

Whats the deal with all this camel chat?!!
ReplyDeleteLoved reading your blogs and had a good chuckle to myself!!
ReplyDeleteDanny -Have tried googleing purple fish found in Norway and haven't a scooby what it is, put me out of my misery if you know (Pie coming out your nose....gross!!!)
Tye-Hows the fishing going you managed to catch something for the barbie?? Glad to hear you have found your sealegs.
Shaun-Showering by torchlight now that's commitment to cleanliness!!!! I have a sneeky suspicion you will be the best groomed member of the crew ;-)
Logan-Pot Noodles,Beans and sunsets what a combo!!
Stevie- This is the filing cabinet wifie in case your not sure who's messaging, sounds like your a top notch sailor.
Davie-Sounds like there is tea and munchies in abundance, I imagine your a popular man on Windshift!!
Hamish- Camels what can I say....
Take care guys and keep blogging
