Continued to Bergen and boarded Norröna for
Iceland. We are now outside of GSM coverage and left the civilized world for a
while. Our reporting plan is to sync the blog during our short visit to Faeroen
Islands on wednesday.
After a good nights sleep in an excellent cabin
at Geilo we started towards Bergen. The scenery was so bad it forced the
navigator of Subaru to tear up the road map and curse loudly on video tape...
Anyways, despite of being in a hurry (the ferry to Iceland goes once a week) we
had to stop a couple of times to rest our eyes. We hope to spend more time on
this leg on our way
back.
Our
tight schedule didn't allow us to look around Bergen at all. There was just
enough time to sort up the mess with our ferry tickets before driving in
Norröna. However, sailing out Bergen looked Very
Nice!
Vode
appreciated anything that resembled Ann-Bente even remotely... ;
)
Btw,
we are also carrying some cargo -- Hannele is expecting us to deliver her scuba
tanks to Shetland tonight. It remains to be seen who is going to wake up and see
that the tank get there. Or stay
up.
It
is almost two days worth of sailing to Iceland. In the mean time we try to spend
our time in Norröna as comfortable as possible. We lack good music and
especially the means to play the music loud (fortunately). Ville feels to be the
minority as his only digital device is GPS receiver where the rest of us have
our laptops, several cameras, cam-phones, PDSs,
etc.
