Busy times,  busy times.   I'm finally back in Norway,  rafting and kayaking,  working my 4th season in this great country.   Sitting in a call centre in the UK I found my mind wandering to what could have been.  Why was I there, temp agencies, office work for an Adventure instructor, no thanks.   Ah yes, money.  After the Canyon that some call Grand trip,  I was running short of cash.  Beset by injury,  I became a slave to the monotony of existance living.  I took it upon myself to redirect my life,  and for the good.

 1 week later I was catching a ferry to the gusty green pastures Denmark,  18 hours on a ferry.  The entertainment must be exotic, beer cheap and the staff friendly.  Shorty after boarding,  we conduct the usual wander around the boat for 10 miuntes finding our cabin,  look around the cabin...bed,  fold out bed, light, exit map, coat hook, shower, sink and toilet.   Assured that I have not missed anything of importance in the cabin, I suggest we head to the bar.  

 En route to the bar we encountered theentertainment,  a high roller bringing in the big bucks I guess.   Super Mario himself, minus Louigi and a bad Italian accent.   The kids entertainment hour, superb.  Up the stair we go, to the bar.   A lofty barman appears,  lets just say customer service was not his  strong side.  A short argument and fresh beer later, the quiz starts. 

 Mario appear,  it turns out he was from Newcastle and works Kiel to Oslo.   We started as front runners for the prize...only people in the bar.  Suddenly there was a rush of old wine junkies,  the quiz was really on now.  We came a close 2nd after a tie breaker.  Not to sad to lose, the prize was beer tasting with the lofy barman. 

Anyway Im rambling.  After some skiing I am in Evje,  working at a rafting centre and chilling out.  Not much ecitment, just getting some cash up.  Next big adventure, Voss Extreme Sports week.  I'll report back when Im there.  If anyone else is heading that way, send a wehey.
