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.

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

Hello:)

I've been feeling completely under the weather lately. It's probably been just a week or so, but it feels like forever! It started out as a fever and constantly freezing and sweating, now it's a horrible headache constantly and loud noises in my head. Yesterday was the worst, I had to only lie inside the room in complete darkness and have it as quiet as possible. The fan in the bathroom sounded like a jet and the light on the phone looked like the sun, haha! Even when someone talked to me the buzzing in my head would just be louder with their voice. I threw up yesterday and everything, not cool!

I went to the doctor today and he says it's some sort of infection, but they can't locate it so if I feel any worse I need to come in straight away, if I don't I still need to go in Thursday morning for a check up.

Such a bad timing as well! We're all packing to move, we're going to move to my mum's old apartment. Ken and I are going to move with my dad for now as it seems to be tough finding an apartment. It's a bit weird, it looks like there is plenty of apartments on the market that look nice and are within the price range, I've written to at least 20 apartments, but they just don't get back to me so I don't really know what to do. Only one got back to me saying it was taken. I think they just go really, really fast and I have to just be quicker at calling or writing for the new ones! I'm not going to lie, I'm not excited to move again, we've done it way too much the last few months.

On a more positive note, my phone company keeps sending me 300 kroner gift cards and candy for no reason. I don't really need anything phone related so my dad has gotten an iPhone case and today Ken got the new apple headphones, EarPods, and a game-gun thing that you put your iPhone on to and use the gun to shoot things on the screen. It's really cool and fun, he seems happy!

As this isn't a very exciting blog I decided to make a collage of lovely photos I found on Pinterest. Enjoy:)

That's about it really!

Take care:) xoxo

Beetles

Hei!

I've been tied to the bed the last few days because of my cold. Not cool! The only interesting thing I've really done outside the house apart from a few errands is going to a car gathering with my grandpa. I've wanted to for a really long time, he's asked me several times to go, but I've never been able to. He's been going to meetings for years. He's had a Beetle for as long as I can remember and a motorbike with a side wagon. He takes apart the motorbike every winter to make sure all the parts are in shape and stuff and puts it together for the summer season. He parks his car for the winter too and can fix it himself if it's broken, I think that's really cool.

When I was little he would take me out to his back garden with my bike and we'd take it apart and polish it and put oil on the parts that needed it and really do it up. He also brought me big pieces of chalk one day and together we picked out fossils, it was really exciting! I still have the ones we found, he gave me a book too so I could try to figure out which kinds I found. He'd also take me fishing, mushroom picking, hiking, bike rides and motorbike rides. I feel so fortunate to have done many of those things. He's really interesting, he'd know way more than my school books and has had the most interesting jobs like gold smith, sailor and marine biologist. We always have something to talk about which is great! 

Back to what we did! It was a VW club who hosted the meeting and they were turning 25 that day. There were 25 cars who showed up mostly beetles, some busses and two really old Volvos. We drove all together for little over an hour before we stopped. We were gonna pick up some pizzas, but they weren't ready like they were suppose to even though they had ordered them three days in advance. We left and drove for another 15 minutes till we came to an old school. It was a big yellow building on top of a small hill. It looked a very typical old school. Some guy had bought it and turned it into a museum. He had bought really old cars that were gonna go to waste so he got them really cheap. He put them in the schools old gym which was downstairs in the building. There were toilets in the hallway, a food hall and another room which I'm guessing was the classroom. They had filled that room with typical sixties things. They had made two living room looking corners and in the middle there was like a big glass shelf with old car models and other things that was typical sixties style and wooden skis. 

When we had seen everything there was to see someone had picked up the delayed pizza and we all went to the food hall to eat and watch old movies from Bergen and how the rode we drove there on was made. The atmosphere was in general very nice and people seemed excited to be there and see each other. It was very lucky that it was sunny that day, we got to see so much nature on the way and it's especially beautiful now I think as everything is yellow, orange and red. It was a really cool experience and I was so happy to see my grandpa again, I don't see him nearly enough. 

Here we are right before we left from Bergen. 

My Grandpa's beetle. I think her name is Dolly.

Me and my grandpa, Kjell. Ken's photo.

Ken had this cool idea,  love this photo. 

Grandpa and Ken in the small beetle. I had to sit in the back as usual because there were less space there. Lame! I think the boys just want to stick together!

Typical sixties living room in the old class room.

An old gas tank! So cute!

He also had some old motorbikes

It was made to look like an old gas station, cute! There's my grandpa and some of his friends.

I loved this one

Oldies

All the cars were really big

One of the beetles were an old police car.

Ken is busy being handsome in the food hall.

Old Pinball machine

Here's me and Ken. We tried to take a photo of us in a hurry with all the cars in the background, but failed.. 

Beautiful scenery on the way back

Pretty, pretty!

It was a great day, I had a lot of fun. I'll have to link you to Ken's page again as he's got some awesome photos of for example all the cars on the road and things like that. I feel very lucky that my grandpa took us, I had a blast!

I'm still inside with my tea, but I'm ready for some action again now, I'm pretty soon over my cold. Ken has got a bank account opened now, that's pretty awesome and he's started working too. I'm very proud and excited! 

Love

I just ride

Yesterday afternoon I suddenly felt awful. I must have caught a bug or something. It came really quickly, I guess it didn't help that I went out earlier in the day wearing only a dress either. It looked so sunny and warm outside and it was, in the sun. We went the only place in Bergen where it wasn't actually sunny so it was pretty cold after a while. I just thought it was my last opportunity to wear a nice summer dress this year, but I suppose that wasn't very wise, I'm paying for that decision now!

My dad is really interested in street art and knows pretty much everything there is to know about that stuff. Ken is interested too so my dad decided to take us down to an abandoned factory building with huge rooms covered in lots of graffiti and street art. It looked like the perfect location for a horror movie. It got darker and darker the further in we went. Apparently it used to be a paint factory.

My pictures don't even kind of do it justice, it was pretty cool. My dad takes photos of street art and posts it on insragram and he's got like over two thousand followers. Oeyra is his instagram name if you want to find him. Ken has proper photos on his Facebook and you can probably see some of his pictures on is next blog, it'll be posted on Tuesday, you can find his blog here!

My first days here in Norway has been pretty uneventful so far, I seem to have no choice with this silly cold! I'm just in now with my tea trying to be better. I'm loving the song "Ride" by Lana Del Rey right now. She posted the video on YouTube a little while ago.

Lots of love!
