      February 27 in Norway ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C

      Vilhelmina ➡️ Bodø

      Ken je die grap van die ferry van Bodø naar de Lofoten?
      Die ging niet..

      Vandaag de dag goed begonnen met een klein hoofdpijntje van de biertjes van gisteren.
      Gelukkig verdween die bij de mannen als sneeuw voor de zon (pun intended) toen er ge-icedrift mocht worden op een dichtgevroren meer. Net twee kleine jongetjes.
      Na deze challenge weer een goede 8 uur gereden door een schilderachtige omgeving in zowel Zweden als Noorwegen.
      Tussen de middag pauze gehouden in een verrassend mooi wintersportdorpje, jammer genoeg iets te ver rijden voor onze skivakanties..
      Bij aankomst in Bodø werd helaas al snel duidelijk dat de ferry die we vannacht zouden pakken naar de Lofoten niet kon vertrekken door slecht weer.
      Zuur: het is daar schijnbaar prachtig.
      Minder zuur: slapen in een bed in plaats van op een stoel op een ferry.

      De statistieken:
      - potdorie nog steeds 0 rendieren
      - 1 bezoekje aan de kerstman op de poolcirkel
      - 4 uur lang stiekem de Kink top 1500 gedraaid voordat Sean begon te zeuren
      - 11 verdiepingen omhoog naar onze hotelkamer. Alaaf.
      - 1 Zweeds balletje op de valreep soldaat gemaakt

      Het plan voor morgen is nog niet gesmeed, maar dat het een mooie dag wordt dat kan niet missen!      Read more

      Bodo - day 4

      March 22 in Norway ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C

      Upon waking we looked out of our cabin window as we sailed past mountains covered in snow. We soon received an announcement to inform us that we would shortly be crossing the Arctic circle, which we did whilst sitting at breakfast. There is a metal globe on an island in the sea marking the position of this. However, we discovered that, apparently the Arctic circle moves 15 metres north each year - all due to the pull of the moon. The morning was spent at sea as we journeyed towards Bodo, our next stopping off place. We passed through snow-covered fjords - all very beautiful. Jo and Karen attended the Arctic circle ceremony. This involved a cupful of ice being poured down people's backs, followed by a drink of "pure vitamins" (a mix of chilli, lemon and grapefruit juice - quite revolting!).
      The ship meandered through the small passageways, which hug the coastline, giving us great views of the countryside with its smattering of local communities. At Ornes, the final stop prior to Bodo, a number of people disembarked the ship. We had planned on disembarking at Bodo to take a walk around the town. However the rain upon our arrival there put us off, and we opted to stay on board. We visited the bar for cocktails for the girls and beers for the men. We played cards (Barbu and Phase 10) - great fun.
      The night-time stop overs were in and around the Lofoten Islands, apparently a particularly beautiful part of the journey, Stamsund, Svolvaer, Stokmarknes, Sortland, Risoyhamn and just prior to breakfast Harstad..      Read more

      Dag 5 bootje Varen

      February 28 in Norway ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C

      Na een stroeve ochtend ( na een zeer soepel avond bier drinken met de teams ) een ontbijtje op met een prachtig panoramisch uitzicht over een bevroren meer.

      Daarna nog een legendarische moment op weg naar het ijs drifte aangehouden voor een alcohol controle. Ik blaze geen klik dus test ongeldig na 3 keer dacht die agent dus dat doet hij expres.

      Hij rommel aan zijn apparaat is i de afdicht folie vergeten hahaha daarna natuurlijk alles goed en door naar het ijs drifte.

      Met de Landcruiser helaas onmogelijk om de achterkant in de slipt te krijgen ( een geruststellend gedachten hier )

      Later een rondje met de Discovery gedaan dat ging veel beter een leuke ervaring.

      Na dit zijn we vertrokken naar Bodo om de Ferry te pakken naar Lofoten.

      Naar 8 uur rijden daar aangekomen helaas die gaat vandaag en morgen niet meer door slecht weer.

      Toen maar heerlijk uit eten geweest dankzij reisleider Popa vandaag en een Hotel gepakt.
      Morgen maken we een nieuw plan.      Read more

      Day 6

      Lofoten - Bodø

      January 6 in Norway ⋅ ☁️ -1 °C

      Heute früh ging es um 7.00 Uhr mit der Fähre wieder zurück nach Bodø. Diesmal mit der richtigen Fähre die nur 3 h dauerte. Angekommen in Bodø gab es erstmal eine leckere Zimtschnecke und eine heiße Schokolade zur Stärkung. Danach sind wir spazieren gegangen und sind zu einem Aussichtspunkt gewandert, von dort konnte man auf den ganzen Hafen schauen. Am Abend gab es in einem Restaurant am Hafen leckere Fisch Gerichte. Gegen 22.00 Uhr sind wir nochmals rausgegangen um die Polarlichter zu suchen und siehe da, wir hatten Glück. Heute haben wir zum ersten Mal die Polarlichter gesehen. Eines unserer Highlights dieser Reise!Read more

      Tschüssli Norge

      August 30, 2023 in Norway ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      Heute sind wir mit dem Speedboot nach Bodø gefahren. Mit dabei war auch Yohni, unser lokaler Opa auf der Insel. So viel der Abschied erstmal nicht so schwer, aber eigentlich wollen wir gar nicht weg.

      Die letzte Party im Restaurant fand am Samstag Abend statt. Schnelle Brillen, spontane Opernauftritte, geplante Irish live Musik und ein live Liebeslied für den Döner auf polnisch bleiben uns in Erinnerung. Snuze und selbstgemachte Bilder verkauften sich von selbst und wir hatten alle Spaß.

      Tschüssli, wir sehen uns bald in Frankreich.      Read more

      Balcony part I

      April 17, 2023 in Norway

      Today had a slow start, we ambled around town had some coffee and generally relaxed before getting down to business. First task was to drop the things from yesterday's storage clean out at the recycling centre. The centre in Bodø has a neat design with vehicles on a elevated causeway so it's easy to drop waste into the relevant bins; recyclables are free, but general waste is charged by weight which I also approve of.

      Then I got cracking on removing rust and flaking paint from the balcony rails, whilst Ross touched up some paint details in the apartment. It was about 5 or 6 Celsius out on the balcony and scraping off paint and rust with a screwdriver and wire brush was tedious, time consuming job so it was tricky to stay warm. Once I got to respraying it started out pretty well, until I finished with the first can and found the nozzle on the second can to be defective.

      Spraying completed as far as possible, tonight was lasagne night, so it was time to don my cooking gear. It was only when when Ross and Nina came back from finding more paint that I found out that my face was streaked with paint. Worryingly it had gathered around the nostrils, so I dread to think how much I might have breathed in despite the well ventilated balcony.

      It was difficult to get some of my usual ingredients up here, so the lasagne was a bit of an improv. I made a conventional roux based white sauce, with mushrooms, paprika and some vegetable stock in lieu of more typical flavourings like nutritional yeast and miso. The red sauce was a medley of vegetables with chopped tomatoes - probably a contender for the most nutritious meal my friends will have all year. Topped with sesame seeds and hot from the oven it was really yummy, and I was very pleased with it for a hack.      Read more

      Study part II

      April 16, 2023 in Norway ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

      After a late brunch of overnight oats, it's was time to press on with the study. We applied a third and final coat of paint, then tidied up and secured the desk wrap with our old and dear friend duct tape.

      Since everything needed time to dry, we headed down to the basement to help sort Nina's storage unit; a timewarp of nostalgia and final resting place of most Christmas gifts I have sent to Nina. It's an interesting development where each flat is provided a self-storage style unit on the lowest basement level. It also includes some communal facilities like the bookable guest rooms, where Ross and I are staying; it strikes me as a neat way to provide for visitors whilst keeping the development compact and economical with resources.

      We had an early (and delicious) dinner with Nina's parents. Fom their dinner table we saw a small parade of Bodø Glimpt fans (the local football team) marching to the stadium for the Sunday match.

      Nina's dad had kindly used the lathe in his workshop create plugs for the holes left by Nina's old lights. Having collected them, we headed back to fit them via copious sanding and just a dab of frustrated brute strength.

      Ross and I have both worked on the wiring in this flat before, but it was only now coming back to us how wacky it is (even before we got to it). The 'special features' left by the original electrician include sockets that are only powered up when the lights are on (Norwegians not sharing the British convention of lights and sockets on separate circuits). When I went to the breaker panel (upgraded since I was last here) I thought my Norwegian was much worse than I had believed - the breakers didn't control what I understood the labels to say. A quick check with my host though reassured me that my Norwegian isn't absent (just awful) and it's the labels that are wrong. We cracked jokes about 'how many lights do you see?' over the echoes of the electricians' spurs and managed to get the new lighting unit fitted.

      The now mustard and dark blue study was mostly back together in time for the evening. Only the carpet and a few finishing bits left now.      Read more

      Bodø

      July 23, 2022 in Norway ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Nach der Einsamkeit in unserer Waldhütte zieht es uns heute wieder in die Stadt. Wir fahren nach Süden in die Hafenstadt Bodø.
      Wir schlendern etwas durch die Straßen, sind hier aber eigentlich nur um uns das Stadion und Spiel des norwegischen Meisters FK Bodø/Glimt anzuschauen bevor es morgen mit der Fähre weiter auf die Lofoten geht.Read more
