one big tree and the southern ocean

Another busy day in touring world. Today I climbed up treetop lookout it was 75 m high and there was not a lot holding you there. Incredible view.
I also swam in the cold waters of the southern ocean- probably about UK temp in the summer

2 days until new Zealand x

What time is it........?

What time is it? It's BLOG time Hey hey The blog is back you lucky, lucky people. Grammar, punctuation and spelling mistakes galore, as I head off to the land of Vikings, Trolls, Moomin a lot daylight and no doubt many surprised responses of What time is it?! This time I have the power of 3, not the charmed witches 🧙‍♀️, but my two intrepid running explorers Fi and Lindsey. Willingly (or foolishly) signing up to a marathon in the sun 🌞.........well the midnight sun! Our summer holiday with temperatures not quite so reflective has begun.  Destination: Tromso, Norway.....you may well be putting your geography knowledge to the test and dragging yourself on Google maps to one of the extremities. If in doubt ask my neice Willa  she's really good at geography   Greet by what would probably be described as what passed as the UK winter I felt right at home. With the power of three Lindsey charges ahead with apps for bus tickets while Fi's phone says computer says no and I ...

Ambling and absorbing

With the power of 3 the faffing and forgetting  time is also somewhat trebled....After scrambled eggs and marmite on toast....yes I brought marmite with us.

The appartment upgrade....is an upgrade as its nearer the town centre which is only about 15mins in any direction. If a little cosier, bed sharing required but not all 3 and given we'll be inside a tin can for the rest of the holiday, we are easing ourselves in gently. Sightseeing abound after Fi required a change of clothes having decided to wear her coffee rather than drink it!

Tap tap..... Hmmmm...... Was that someone knocking on the van? I was half alseep in some wildly crazy vivid dream as we all semi woke up hot as hell to a 'stern' Norwegian lady. Why are you parked in two spaces? Our jaunty angle not sounding so fun I will have to fine you 600 kronas way too early to vaguely contemplate the maths or formulate a response but Lindsey diplomatically replied that it was slmeone elses fault and we will move cue some shuffling around in pyjamas and we were off to the capsite we had spied as we were also reaching a critical situation with toilet onboard. Campsite flakstad was a great location at the other end of the beach and had the toilet emptying facilities but the grumpy man wouldnt let us even pay to do it....day not starti g well. We paused made a cup of tea in bid to improve our day in search of a breakfast spot. I closed the sliding door with the window still open on its hydraulic arms and they detach. So while i climb ...
