back to Bergen

As some of you already know, my travelling luck run out many years ago! So, this time the story is as follows.. I took the train to Bergen, and had looked forward to a beautiful scenery of snow on the mountains etc.. It takes approx six-seven hours and the highest trainstation is situated at 1222meters above sealevel! Anyway..

I sat down on my seat which was turned against the travelling direction which in turn I react to because I get travelling sicknessjust by sitting the right way.. In addition, the person sitting next to me smelled so badly of boose that I couldn´t even turn my head in his direction to look out the window without feeling really sick myself.. An everytime I tried I looked at him at was waiting for a firehose like puking cause he really really looked like shit.. I can´t complain too much about it because I explained the situation to the ticket man and I switched place so I could sit the right way. At that time I didn`t realise how lucky I was to still be seated in the same cart! I only noticed the three kids sitting next to me already bored out of their minds by sitting still for five minutes.. After some hours of trying to sleep (since I got up at 6.30 in the morning..) but failed because of their constant noise I found out that the smallest kid, the most annoying one wasn´t even part of this family! He was a kid, about five six years old, that found the only two kids in the train and decided that they should entertain him! haha, I laughed when I saw how much he was actually bothering them and then I just watched them pretending to be asleep and felt a little sad when they left me only half way to Bergen..

Next I felt a little hungry and went bacwards to the diningcart. As soon as I stepped through the sliding doors right behind my seat I was filled with joy that I at least had not been moved tothe other part of the cart! They apparently had a party going on! Drinking since we left i figured and already really drunk, they had turned on a radio for all and more to hear, more or less voluntarily! Poor people.. They started singing and laughing out loud and started to really really bug me when they finally left two hours before arrival in Bergen. =)

Then I noticed that the heaps of snow I just passed and wattched on the mountains, suddenly had changed into the typical western Norway weather of rain.. Yes, I was getting closer. I dozed of a couple of times before I reached my destination and could get out.
