Hey guys, it’s Shauna from Without Bags. I wanted to film this because I’ve never had this experience before, so I wanted to share. So we just left the king of sheltered fjords of kind of middle-north Norway, and we are now in the open ocean of Norway, you know open waters and literally the boat is being thrown around like a rag doll. I can’t even stand, I am sitting to film this video right now, because if I stand I will fall over, that’s how much the boat is being thrown around, so I’m going to try and try and see if I can get you guys a view out of the little portholes here. Okay, let’s hope we don’t fall over.
I thought you guys might find this interesting. It actually looks super calm. Let’s see if we can get you a view here. So you see it actually looks super calm but basically every time we go over those waves that look nice and calm are actually not nice and calm, they said that there are probably about 3 or 4 feet tall at the moment, and they’re bumping the ship around pretty good.
Certainly … whoo … sorry. This has been interesting. So things I am learning on this trip. This is my very first cruise, if you guys haven’t caught on to that yet, and this is a postal boat, so there’s about 200 people on this boat. Things I’m learning about a cruise … I’m actually a little seasick. And so going up in the cold, so like outside on the decks outside is good for being seasick apparently, and it’s certainly been helping me, so that’s, that’s good. And sleep. Apparently for some reason I can sleep without a problem.
It is currently about 7:30 Norway time and I’ve been getting up about 4 Norway time. So Yeah, I’m gonna take a shower, and go to bed and hopefully pass this really super choppy water in open water Norway and get back to the very calm fjords and be a little more sheltered than, whoo, big crazy waves that just came in through the porthole, that’s so exciting. So anyway, I’m having a lot of fun out here in Norway, life is certainly an adventure and so this is Shauna, correspondent for Without Bags, coming to you from the open oceans in Norway.
Hope you guys are having fun. Tomorrow, I think tomorrow we are going to … no, today we went to Trondheim … okay, let’s see if we can make it over to the list of where I was at today without falling over, that would be lovely. Yes, today was in Trondheim, the Nidaros Cathedral and the Music Museum. Sorry, can you tell the waves are kind of knocking me off, knocking me off my senses a little bit here.
And tomorrow, I’m actually kind of excited, tomorrow night, I’m going like on a Viking dinner kind of thing, so that will be cool. And first thing in the morning, at about 10:15, we’re actually going to be crossing into the Arctic Circle, so very exciting for me, I have never been in that part of the world, ever … so Arctic Circle, gonna do some sightseeing, Saltstrumen, I guess, if anybody’s ever been there. And then in the evening there’s a Viking dinner kind of thing, so that should be cool.
So, anyway, I’m going sit back down before I fall over. These waves look a lot bigger than 3 of 4 feet now, so anyway, this is Shauna, signing off for Without Bags, hope you guys are having a great day. I’m going to try to not fall over in the shower. So I’ll see you guys later. Bye.
