Round the World

Roadtrip through England, and then... HOME!

sunny 20 °C

Yupp!

Came back to Norway the day before yesterday, and got off the plane in beautiful Lofoten yesterday. Kinda surreal in a way, but really good. Just sleeping in my own bed, eating mums food and drinking proper milk, aaaah.. :]

Had an awesome time in England though. Good fun hanging out with my crazy norwegian girls again. :] After 3 days in London with pub crawls and sightseeing (which means laying down lazying in the park), we decided to rent a car and drive up north to Blackpool (I know, this is the part where all you pommies ask "Why..?!"). What do you do in Blackpool? Well, cheap drinks always come in handy... :D

On our way back to London we stopped in Manchester. Even went to Old Trafford (Linn was too excited!). But yeah, Manchester got this really good place to go out; several rooms so you could choose the music kinda. :] Us like..

So all in all, England was a proper roadtrip: loud music and singing in the car, emergency-scenario; out-of-petrol, HUGE roadabouts that go the wrong way, getting lost, frustration over crappy maps and so on. Good way to end a long trip.

So this will be my last entry, with photos and all, in this blog. Hope you've enjoyed reading it, and even laughed a few times. I've had heaps of fun, and will never forget this trip.

Remember: There's no point being normal in a world that's crazy, so live life just the way YOU want, and enjoy every second of it.

Save water, drink beer

Costa Rica

semi-overcast 24 °C

Hola!
You just read one of the 5 phrases I know in spanish, so yeah, a lot of confusion and funny situations. :] Costa Rica seems nice enough, but the crime here is relatively high, so you really need to look after your stuff.

Planning on going out to the Caribbian coast, but need to get cash out of the ATM first, which is a lot harder than you think it ever could be. :]

I mentioned we were going to Disneyland; what a day! It's no wonder everybody in LA is driving instead of catching public transport: it took us 4 HOURS to get there, and it takes you 45 min with car. I can assure you there was an angry norwegian travelling on the Metro that day. Good thing Disneyland wasn't disapointing, cause that could've really unleashed great fury. :D

Fiji

overcast 20 °C

Jepp, saa va Fiji unnagjort. :] Hadde noen utrolie 10 daga me mye Kava, snorkling og soving. Folket e veldig vennlig. "Bula" - deres hilsen, blei du moett me uansett kor du gikk.

Reiste rundt hovedoya Viti Levu i 4 daga me Feejee Experience, definitivt aa anbefal! Va paa besoek i landsbya og barnehjem; bilibili rafting, jungeltur og baal paa stranda - heilt konge!

Etter det va det 3 daga paa Beachcomber, og det va meir enn nok! Beachcomber e den saakalte partyoya paa Fiji, men etter du har vaert rundt resten av oeya og opplevd verkeli Fiji-kultur e det ikkje akkurat det du e ute etter. Fiji e liksom ikkje sann, litt vanskeli aa forklar, men ja... :]

De siste dagan paa Fiji tilbrakte ae paa ei oey som heite Tavewa. Kjempekoselig betjening paa hostelet! 2 daga me rein sloeving. :]

Saa nu e ae altsaa paa Cook Islands. Lite me sol, men har iallefall leid mae scooter saa nu e planen sightseeing! :]

Taupo: Har hoppa i fallskjerm OG strekk!

semi-overcast 16 °C

Jepp, ae har endelig gjort det! (English version just under this)

Hoppa i fallskjerm igaar. Du e oppe i et fly 12 000 fot (ca. 3,5 km) over bakken ogsaa baere hoppa du ut! Va heilt sykt! (Ka slags sykt menneske fant opp det forresten??) Kunne ikkje stopp aa smil, og da vi aapna opp fallskjermen bynnte ae baere aa flir. Va i fritt fall i ca 45 sek, og den farta du dett i e heilt ufattelig!

Naar det gjeld strekkhoppet va det litt meir blanda foelelsa. Ae har fremdeles litt hoeydeskrekk, og maa innroem at ae ikkje va saa vaeldi hoeg paa paera der ae satt aa venta paa aa hopp. Plattformen ae hoppa fra e 47 meter over Waitako river, det hoeyeste strekkhoppet i New Zealand der du faktisk doeppa hodet i vannet naar du "landa". Et heilt sykt adrenalinrush! Har video av det og greier; baade foer hoppet (ae sett baere aa lura paa ka i fan ae har begjedd mae ut paa) og selve hoppet (mye hyling :).

Men ja, saa nu har ae gjort de 2 hovedtingan ae kom hit foerr (mamma, e du ikkje stolt? ;b), saa ae e klar foerr Fiji, flyg dit paa tirsdag! Sol, strand, dykking og kava - blir konge! (spess sia ae har prestert aa bli forkjoelt!)

Taupo: Bungy and skydive!!

sunny 16 °C

Yes!! I've done both! Was unreal! Did the skydiving yesterday, 12 000 feet and you're jumping out of the plane. (What kind of insane person invented that by the way??) Couldn't stop smiling while we were falling, and when we unleashed the parachute (is that correct spelling? Doubt it, but whatever! :p) I just laughed! Amazing..

Did a Bungy Jump today. Was shit scared, so that was more of a adrenalin rush. Got it on DVD, me screaming. :) The platform was 47 meters above the Waikato river, and you actually dip your head in the river when you "land".

So yeah, now I've done the 2 things I came here for, so I'm ready for Fiji. Flying there on tuesday; Sun, beach, diving and kava - here I come!

Now, I promise, I'll upload some pics! :D

Stay crazy!
