Sorry folks. There will be no pictures from the cruise for now. Only a screen and a keyboard here, no usb, no cd-rom, no nothing.
We started out from Bergen at 8pm yesterday. Had a fantastic dinner a little later and then I went to bed, absolutely finished after a long day. To flights, first to Oslo and then to Bergen. For some odd reason we had to fetch our luggage and go through customs in Oslo. Took some time and out flight was delayed leaving Copenhagen.
The taxi I had ordered never arrived, one that could take all of us plus the wheelchair, but I spotted another big one from the same company and he saved us.
We are here now. All is well and we are sailing on Geirangerfjorden at the moment.

IF WAR IS THE ANSWER, THEY ARE ASKING THE WRONG QUESTION
MY TIME
Interesting
Reading
Just finished: 'Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann' (Jonas Jonasson) The present time story is often funny and I did enjoy it, but the stories from the past ..simply too much. As so many people enjoy to listen to their own voices, he is one of many writers that enjoy seeing words, many words, come on the screen/paper. Less would most definitely be more. 'The Children's Book' (A.S. Byatt) Stunned. Byatt is without doubt one of the world's finest writers. 'Igelkottens elegans (Swedish translation of L´élégance du hérisson' (Muriel Barbery) I don´t mention all my "reads" here, but I should have mentioned this one last year. Fascinating characters in surroundings I gather are disappearing. The "too many words" writers could learn a lot from Barbery. I repeat, less is more. Sekwa, a Swedish publisher of french books, impresses me. Good work.
Reading now: 'Grand Final i Skojarbranchen' (Kerstin Ekman) Kerstin Ekman seems to have done it again. I am enjoying this book tremendously and reading very slowly. But I can say this, many writers and critics should consider reading this book, and read it twice. 'De svarta tangenternas planet' (Niklas Rådström) I loved 'Drivved från Arkadien' and this one is at least as good. 'A Place of Execution' (Val McDermid) She can do so much better. I really don't like it when I can figure the plot almost at once. I hope to be wrong. But I am bored.

Sounds lovely! Good that there's no usb, cd-rom, etc. Concentrate on the scenery and family and enjoy yourself away from the computer. But remember to update your blog whenever you can ;-)
