Holá!
The whole international team went to Sverige, so I didn’t want to miss out. I’ve been training yesterday, will go on a MTB-Trip 2morrow, so today was a good rest day…
I’m sooooo lucky that I’ve got my car here!!! That gives me soooo much freedom. You just have to get used to the SLOW driving, maximum speed is 100!!!! at the highway… Most of the time it’s 70 km’s/h… But that’s okay and I know that you should be within the speed limits otherwise you have to pay a huge fine!!!!
I met the others @ 9 a.m. at the harbour in Sandefjord, about 40 km’s further south from Horten… All in all we were 20 people, Katie organized everything and I really felt like being a tourist! I haven’t had this kind of holiday trip for ages… The past few years have just been sport holidays… But for one day being a “bus tourist” was okay…
When we got on the Ferry we couldn’t believe what we saw! The Ferry was huge and inside it was like a big shopping mall!!! Tax free shopping is very common here and u safe some money – still, Scandinavia is VERY EXPENSIVE!!!! 🙂 but beautiful… We went shopping on the ship and it was sooo funny because the ship was bouncing all the time, you felt like a drunk person, whenever you wanted to grab something from the shelf you lost balance…
2 h ferry to Sweden, shopping and sight-seeing there, back on the ship in the late afternoon… and OH NO I got sea sick:-( and that just feels HORRIBLE!!!!! I wouldn’t be the person to spend my life working on the sea… But I was not the only one… A lot of people felt the same way like I did… People sitting on the floor, in the toilet next to the sink, being ready to have something close to when they have to through up;-)… I don’t want to go into further details…;-) Oh, I was just really happy that we had land underneath our feet again…
Back @ my car, I had a parking-ticket on the front-shield saying that I didn’t pay the fee… (which I actually did but the machine just withdraw 1 kr (10 cent) from my credit card… instead of 5 €…) 35 € fine!!!! hm, i guess sh…. happens…;-(
