Chapter 219: Norway : words about Norway
Land of the midday moon. Up
north just a few hours of sunlight with a very low sun that annoys because it
always gets in your eyes. The sun is like a guest who arrives late, annoys you
and leaves before everybody else.
Norway is the land of the watch. Your watch tells you when to get, go to bed and when to eat.
Norway is the land that was flooded and infiltrated by the sea. Steep rugged hills surrounded by the invading water. Fjords and islands everywhere.
The sea is not warm, relaxing, full of coral reefs and full of pleasures. The sea is full of oil and gas leading to money.
Historically the sea resulted in skilled sailors and conquests far and wide.
The Vikings invaded England and left behind names such as Solomon.
The sea is also full of food. Every national dish we have had contains some sort of fish. We have seen many salmon, muscle farms and fishing boats.

Chapter 216: Norway : words about cruising
The cruise ship looks enormous. A giant
lumbering monster.
When aboard the ship it changes. It becomes your home which you carry everywhere. Like a tortoise.

The ship is immaculately clean and tidy. It should be. There are enough staff. They are all neat, tidy and pleasant. They all come from countries where a job on a cruise ship is aspired. None from Australia or Norway.
The passengers are mainly from the USA. Second place to us Aussies. Mainly retired grandparents who Face Time their grandchildren, count their steps, update their Facebook page and send vacuous emails.
On the cruise ship you submit passively. Your excursion are all organised for you. You follow a guide who shows you what he thinks is important.
Back on the ship you eat whatever food they have cooked. You eat everything on the plate and then say that was too much. You then blame the cruise for putting on weight.
