I love Bergen

Hey!

Happy 1st, or now actually 2nd, of February! It's officially my favorite month of the year, I'm excited! I feel a lot better which obviously makes me even more excited. My headaches are so much better and I feel almost well again. I got well really quickly when I first started feeling better. I went to the doctors again yesterday and I'm going to take an MRI scan of my head since I've had so many headaches recently, I didn't use to have them much before. Sounds really scary, but it's just a "just in case" check. It's not likely to be anything there that shouldn't be there.

Ken was so kind to come with me to the doctor early in the morning and when I was done there we felt a little spontaneous and went to the aquarium in Bergen. That did the world of good, I'd say, I was so desperate to get out of the house after having been in bed for over a week. The aquarium was fun as always, I've been there a million times, but I always enjoy it. We were there just in time to see the seal show and the penguins get fed. They told us information about the penguins and the way they find a mate is that the male penguin sees a female he likes and picks a rock and gives it to her. Then he bows and if she bows back they become mates for life. During their time together they keep giving each other rocks and together with those rocks they build a nest. I just thought that was so cute, haha! We also went to my favorite music store in Bergen where Ken found his favorite guitar strings so now I have a whole new set of strings on my guitar.

The weather was really nice as well, it was sunny. I love walking to the aquarium because there are so many old beautiful houses and I love the really narrow streets that go in between them, you can always find different things there like really beautiful flowers or street art or just random stuff. All the streets are cobblestone which makes it really nice. They haven't made new roads since the olden days so they've kept the horse tracks on the roads as well. I love it.

Today we've just packed a lot. Official moving day is tomorrow so everything has to be ready. The whole house is pretty much just in boxes now. Ken is going to get a desk in our new room so he's really excited to have a workspace and to have all his stuff there so it's easier to find stuff. He always has a million cables and hard-drives and I don't know what lying around.

Phototime:

Had to borrow this photo from Ken. Love this shot, Bergen is pretty!

Supremacy

Hey sweeties!

Today has been really long. Pretty early (as in the afternoon, but you know how I feel about mornings) me and Ken went to Sea Life in Bray. It's a small building on the middle of the pier. I was really excited, but there wasn't that much to see, haha! What was there was very nice though. Pictures! I'm having a bit of trouble with my camera on my phone at the moment, I'm not sure what it is, but every photo gets blurry and if I use flash the whole picture just turns way too white. My digital camera has a little water drop in it's lens after I dropped it in the water while rowing so the quality of my pictures won't be really good, my apologies!



Cutest seahorse!

A tiny shark!


A shark egg! You could see the baby swimming inside the egg.

Ken and me in front of the shark tank.

Afterwards we went to get ice cream and coffee at my favorite place in Bray. It's Italian and the ice cream there is the best! 


I can not forget to mention that I got the new Muse album last night. After midnight Ken was so kind and downloaded it for me. So exciting! There was like making of the album videos and stuff with it so we saw them in bed before we went to sleep. It was so nice and hilarious. We kept pretending that we were stealing their stuff by trying to take it of the screen it made me laugh so hard! I can't express my love for the new album enough, I literally can't get enough of it. It's amazing!!


Here it is on my phone! Eeee!

Then I got a phone call from someone very important!
Aren't my shoes so pretty??

Later we were gonna go and see Burning Amber, our friend Eoin's band, like I mention in a previous blog. They were playing in the Harbour Bar in Bray. For pre-drinks we drank some very fancy champaign that was a gift from my mum when she here last time!


The band killed it at the gig of course, they were great and very funny! It was their very first gig too so it was extra special.
Ken doing some sound check


For 11 euros you can get this!! Haha!



I had a really great day all together. Right now I'm about to go to sleep at Mandy's house because we are going to Wexford tomorrow morning looking for a new house for Mandy. I'll take some photos and blog about that tomorrow.

We also have our final moving date. We're officially leaving for Norway the 9th of October. Very exciting news!

I'll see you soon:)

Lots of love xoxo
