Monday this week I went to work as I usually do. But after the normal work day we had a session where we were informed about all the stuff going on in the organisation and one session about stress management. It was interesting and inspiring. Then a bus came to collect us and took us to the ferry.
Once we got on the boat and had put our luggage in our cabins and then we met for a nice late dinner. It was a buffet with a lot of good food and drinks. It was time for a little drink and some entertainment before going to bed after a long eventful day.
The next morning we were up early ready for Denmark. More on that later. But after we came back to the boat in the evening we got dinner again and sailed away just as the sun was setting. So the view that came with the food was quite spectacular.
After dinner the waves started. Luckily I don’t get seasick, but it started to get so wavy that I decided to go to bed quite early. I did not get to sleep too much as I was close to falling out of my bed several times over the night.
It was early up next morning and the bus collected us to go back to the office for a new working day. I felt like I was still at sea for the rest of the day. And it even felt like I was still on a rocking boat when I went to bed that evening.
Oh, and today, just a few minutes ago my brother won Norway’s largest marathon!
Well done to your brother, Maja 👍
Thank you! He was well happy
Similar experience from Oslo to Copenhagen. I don’t get seasick either, but was surprised by how long it took to feel like I was on land again.
It is very strange how long it takes!
Oh dear! Those waves would have done me in. I would be dressed in a life jacket all night. 🙂 Sounds like the company is going all out here. Congratulations to your brother. That is quite a feat to accomplish!
Thank you. The trip to Danmark cost less than doing it in Norway, so they decided to do it this way this Year. It really was an amazing run from my Brother. Hope your weekend treats you well.
Fascinating to take an overnight boat to a meeting and back – your shot of dusk, with the reflection of the table in the shot is gorgeous!
Thank you! It was quite nice, we used to go to Danmark with the ferry more often when we were young, it was always a lot of fun
That reflection image is wonderful. It would be fun to work for a company that does things like yours.
Thank you. It is a good place to work!
Congratulations to your brother! And how wonderful you got to take this overnight boat ride to your meetings.
Thank you! We are very proud of him.
I was having fun reading this until the waves started. Oh, no!
Haha, I would have preferred it to be a little calmer. But I feel luckily to not get sick.
The boat trip you mentioned here made me chuckle a bit (no offense meant to you though). I have taken many a boat and ferry rides, sometimes on turbulent waters as well, but never got seasick. Yet I don’t know why I am afraid of boat or ship rides.
Will remember your recommendation and avoid taking any water route between Norway and Denmark
