TORs - August 30 - My last post

Dear readers,

the headline is correct.

This is my last post.

Sorry. I'm fond of you all.

It's been a blast.

But time changes.

I have been a blogger for one year Friday August 31.

Everything has an end.

I'm not able to change that.

My last story is from our Canoe tour last Saturday.

In the Wilderness and the sound of Nature and the paddles.

1) Friday, August 24 - 2007 - Norway, South East:

Radio/TV/Internet: Weatherforcast for Saturday, August 25: Variable - may be showers, may be Sunny, may be windy, may be chilly, maybe maybe maybe...

2) Still Friday early evening:

To cold to sit out at the Platform.

We lit up the fireplace - old newspapers and wood. Cold and humid. At least we tried to have a pleasant time in front of our tiny fireplace. But fire? No, only smoke. You know, not up into the chimney - but directly down and into our small "livingroom". Smokealarm - piiiiiip .

At least the 3 of them worked according to product descriptions. Not bad. But it's a hell for your ears to stop that noise ----

3) August 25 - Saturday:

4) 6 am: Sunny - 14 C

5) 7 am: Sunny - 15 C - some wind

6) 8 am: Sunny - 15 C - still windy

7) 9 am: Sunny - temp? We slept again

---

8) b11 am: Sunny - 20 C - hmm - what to do?

9) 12 am: Sunny - 20 C - Brunch

10) 12:30 am: Sunny: 20C - Canoe on top of the Car

11) 1:30 pm: 20 C - changing wind directions - Started canoeing in the wilderness - on the Lakes

Then: 4 hours completly incorporated with the nature. Only the sounds of birds, some amphiums - queck-queck, insects, jumping fishes - splash, a moose, flowers, waterfalls, wild blueberies, partridgeberries, cloudberries, crowberies, windsounds from the leafes of the different trees.....

12) and a beach for our own - skinny dipping - *giggles*

13) 6 pm: Shopping - the tiny grocery store did not have our cats fav's

13.5) 6:30 pm: 17 C - Time for Cat feeding and some moister lotion

That was the end of my year as a blogger.

Please enjoy our tour into to unknown:

Here you can see Anna's Croc - to the left. But where is Anna?

In the Lake of course. To cold for me to swim. Besides, if we both were in the water at the same time; who could take this photo?

Anna, prepared for the return to "civilisation":

Returning over the lower lake. Can you feel the silence and the sound of nature?


Well, this was my last post in my first year as a blogger. Goodbye.

PS. See you in my second year as a blogger, I hope. Starting August 31-2007

Destination Captain Lifecruiser - The real Cruise

When Cyber comes to reality - something happens - Part 1

My regular readers and A-team members may have observed that Anna and I wanted to visit our respectable Captain Mrs Lifecruiser. We did. This time it was not a cyber-cruise but a real one. This story starts with a cyber-cruise you probably not have enjoyed before. (The whole truth about this journey will appear as soon as my brain comes back to normal – I’m only a crew member – remember that). You may also recall my post from the Göta Channel with boats in the middle of farmland- here can everything happen. Enjoy the pictures and the fantastic fact bloggers from different countries can meet this way.

Captain Lifecruiser

Mrs and Mr Lifecruiser do enjoy their Vacation at Fårö – just North of Gotland, Sweden – an Island in the mid of the Baltic Sea. More to read here: http://lifecruiser.com/

They have enjoyed their summer vacations for years at Per’s Farm. And for years all personalities staying here have formed a wonderful friendship and society. I can confirm it's heartwarming - if you believe in friendship before "dead things".

Per looked at something (it was not my Car)

That’s too crazy, he thought - no channel, no WATER

But he had to look one more time - Crazy friends from Norway

Here is what he looked at - mr Lifecruise delivering something - for the cruise

A real cyber cruise - or a green cruise.... (Green thoughts to day of course)

With Champagne

Can we drink it as well?

At the green sea?

Well, the captain did cross The Green Sea with open mouth – that was what she did.

After the cruise - it was about time to do something else. Say hello to the Lamm. That's what's they are named here at Gotland and Fårö.

If you found this journey inspiring, well then we are inline. There is more to come. Our journey to and from was in it self, what most people would say, not piece of cake - so stay tuned. It's a matter of survival. hehehe. And Luck. And - stay tuned.

PS. Thursday afternoon we will pick up our friends from Holland. We met at Lake Tahoe, CA, last year. It's so wonderful to make friendship without boundaries - that's peace creation.

Post Scriptum: Mr and Mrs Lifecruiser are both unique, wonderful, giving people, with a sense of lifestyle and humour rarely found any longer in the western hempisphere. We learned to love them both.
