Departure

I'm writing this early in the afternoon, as I want to upload it before I go. Updates are going to be spotty at best for a week or so, I'm afraid.

I don't have a van ... I travel by train and boat, so I cannot pack more than the essentials. The black suit, a few sets of socks and underwear, tootbrush and shaving gear, computer and cables, camera and cables, mobile phone and cables, a battery change for Cassie (and cables). Stuff like that. Umm, I'm leaving the 17" monitor at home...

I am not nervous, but try telling that to my digestion!

***

In Drammen, I plan to change trains ... there should be nearly an hour, but the Signatur trains are always 20 minutes or so delayed, so more like half an hour to catch the night train for Bergen. This should be plenty of time. Sadly, the train for Bergen is so full that I only got a seat in the smoker's partition. Luckily I am no longer allergic to tobacco smoke, and I cannot believe there will be all that heavy smoking in the dark of the night. People will probably try to sleep instead, which can be entertaining enough if I manage to stay awake myself.

I should be in Bergen around 7 in the morning, and have another hour before the boat goes to Askvoll. So basically, I expect ca 20 hours of travel. I'll take notes on Cassie if anything interesting happens, so there may be a journal entry tomorrow too. Perhaps. It will not have quite the same priority as it usually has, but I'll do my best.

Now it is time to upload, pack the electronics and get a slither on! :)
