Mood: Good, but I’m sick, so pity meeeeee DX
Listening to: Some guy on Youtube making ghost videos with his friends. If he wasn’t a tutorial making guy of “how to make vids” and stuff it’d be a lot more believable. Gotta give him props for trying, tho.
So. I haven’t written in ages. I’ve been busy and lazy. I’ve also been to Kiel on a mini cruise with Jan. Of course we weren’t alone. Jan’s oldest sister came along with her two kids, Jan’s youngest brother came along with his partner and their daughter and her boyfriend, a friend of Jan’s who helped him with some stuff.. and he brought his wife, and a work buddy of Jan’s who brought along his wife and their daughter. Their daughter is just cute as a button, by the way. If I were to adopt anyone, it’d be her.
So we left on Saturday 8th of December, got to Oslo by train at around 11.35 or so. I hurried to the tourist office to visit Camilla and get the cheaper buss tickets for the buss to the boat. Before that, tho, I told them that they needed to go right to the buss platform…. keep this in mind…
I got the tickets and hurried to the buss platform. On the way I got a phone from Jan asking where I was. I said I was at the buss platform and where the hell they were. And he said “Oh, we’re going to the buss platform?”
So I had to guide them from wherever they were to where I was. They finally made it… and I was stressed. But we all got on the bus in time and got to the boat. Well on the boat we found our room and settled in, somewhat. We had a room at the very front of the ship with a view of the “King of the World” spot. So, I sat in the window as the boat left port and Jan went out on deck. After that we hit the first nice bar we could find. This was around 2:30 pm… and we kept it going till around 2.30 am. No, I wasn’t drunk. I wasn’t even tipsy. But I did have a great time.
The only down side to the trip was that all the stores in Kiel were closed because it was Sunday. There was a big ass shopping mall there which was open, but the stores in it were closed. So we wandered about for a bit and found the railway station… where there were some stores open, luckily. We also found a Pizza Hut where we had pizza. I also got to try out my German… I found out that I could fool the locals, but when they started responding in German I was stumped :p
But it was fun while it lasted. We got back to the boat again and shopped and everything one usually does when one has access to duty free stuff. But we did see that a lot of the things there, although the packs of the things were larger, it has about the same price as in Sweden. The only thing that is way cheaper in Germany is booze. I got three bottles of Captain Morgan “Spiced Gold” all brought into the country legally. Two bottles brought in by Jan and myself and one bottle brought in by Jan’s brother who didn’t bring in anything else.
But now I should start to get ready for work.
If I remember anything worth mentioning about the trip, I’ll do so when I remember.
