(thank god!!! really i do.......... thank you so much for it not raining that day!!!)
looking at the timetable that i picked up from the tourist information (great place), it said there was a ferry leaving stavanger port at 13:30pm on mondays and wednesdays...................... now the thing was, on the return journey, it wouldn't return to stavanger but to lauuvik, and the only bus that i could catch to get back to sandnes was at 18:35pm, so essentiallly by the time i caught another bus to get back to stavanger, the time would realisticcally be about 20:00pm................. i was undecided if i wanted to go on monday or to leave it till wednesday because i was leaving thursday morning and was a bit worried that if anything went wrong then i would be 'up shitte creek'!!!.................... but then i was up early on monday morning so just headed down to ask last minute questions as to what bus i should catch from lauuvik, and then just waited down by the pier for the ferry to pull in...........................
being me, i asked about 10 different ppl as to where the ferry left from, just to get my bearings right and thankfully all 10 pointed out the same port for me so that was reassuring................... and yes i had to go alone on this but its not like that bothered me since i am more used to doing things by myself than with others........................... the thing is, i like to have company BUT sometimes i feel that i am obligated to talk and entertain ppl that i wouldn't really concertrate or appreciate the opportunity to examine or watch the environment that i am in......... OR i will simply just phase ppl out, not to be anti-social or anything, but because i know the reason that i am there is to make record accounts with my camera, and i will just not talk and basically ignore you on the whole trip.................. (really ....... if you ever go out with me and i don't make conversation, its not because i don't like you but i am just thinking and focusing on noticing things that ppl miss ...............it also makes a good defence speech if i really don't like you and so can avoid the whole futile 'chit chat' :-p)

hmmmmm.......
to be totally honest with ppl.......... it doesn't matter how many movies or pictures i take of this excursion, because nothing compares with actually being there............................ i love natural landscapes and to see it first hand and be in its surroundings is more valuable to me and probably the best type of souvenir that i can gain from visiting other countries........................ i like to take back with me things that 'cost nothing' but at the same time, 'more precious than money itself'................................
yes i probably sound barmy!!! but hej thats me!!! i am too sentimental about everything.................. for others they like to have a collection of tangible items BUT for me i like to carry with me things that cannot be seen physically................ memories locked away in my head and stories that can be told and lesons that should be taught..................... :-p (and bananas that are well hidden out of everyones greedy hungry eyes!!! :-p yes i am starting that whole 'banana fiasco' again in my blogs.............. the world should have its curency in bananas not silly promisory notes that 'promise to pay the bearer' the sum of something............ so please tell me mr bank of england 'how much is the sum of something'??? ) .......................
oh and thank you to the man who gave me a lift to sandnes!!!
i am sure you will make an excellent father!!!
(and if grandma sees this .......... errrr.......no i didn't catch a lift with a stranger in a foreign country again.................. and yes i am still alive)
that was very lucky indeed!!!
the guy was working in a power station at lysebotn and was catching the ferry to go home to his expecting wife after a nite shift and he knew that i would have to wait a long time for the bus so just offered me a lift since he was going in that direction anyway............. a very nice man who also told me that if i planned to come back to norway in summer then i should go on the 'hurtig ruten' cruise, norways most narrowest and most spectacular fjord ride!!!! and that i should also visit bergen, an architectural beautiful city..................... more things now to do on my 'to do list' for nx time :-p........................... oh thank you god for allowing me to get back to kjelldeberget earler than i planned!!!!!!
and i am so sorry to the crew BUT i took advantage of the fact that they thought i was really really young and so only charged me the fare of a child!!! i am so sorry!!! i know its daylight robbery BUT it wasa good feeling to know that the ferry ride was less than NOK150!!! and if its any consolation, i got alot of pictures :-p................. (i should stop abusing my asian genes!!!!......... maybe in 5 years time :-p)
the trip down the fjord definitely made up for the failed prekistolen hike yesterday... :-p
this one is actually finished buti thought i would just leave the bit i wrote below in since i thought 'wot the fook' did i write and then laughed at myself???
(you may joke about it but i have no life outside of internet................ lifeblood........... you might as well cut open my head and place my cerebral inside a computer that has a permanent connection to the web.......... lets face it i would be more useful to society that way :-p)
