Boat Trip med Buggene :)

On Sunday, I went with my third host family to their house and we went on a boat trip on the ocean (in the fjord)!!!  First, I woke up late, had a nice late breakfast, and then Harald showed up at the house around 12.00.  He then asked me if I would like to sleep over at their house and, of couse, I said yes!  So, he quickly called my host parents and they said that it was ok, so I packed and we were out the door!

Before we got to the boat, we stopped at their grandparents' house and sat, drank tea and coffee, ate some pastries and talked.  I also met their dog!  He is a little chiwawa namd "Toffee"! 

From there, we went to their house and got ready for the boat trip.  We got everything together, got in the car and drove the few minutes to the boat dock where they keep the wooden boat that Harald restored.  We unloaded everything at the boat dock and waited for everyone else to arrive.  All together, it was my host mom, my host dad, Charlotte, Ågot and me.  We went out a distance to an island with a sandy beach and ate a late lunch/early dinner there. 

Having this time with them helped me to accept that I would change host families at some point.  It helped me to understand different living styles instead of feeling nervous to move in with them.  I am happy they took me out!

Anyway - Harald and Ågot went INTO THE WATER!  It was so cold outside - and there are many jellyfish in the water here!  After we ate chicken, chocolate, and hot dogs, we went back to Larvik.

 By the way, the boat's name is TROLL.  Does that just about sum-up my exchange?  Yes.  xD

We went back to the house after that.  We also drove around and looked at Charlotte's Russe-bil (which was totally awesome) and bought some bread in town. 

Monday was fine...  But I had one of those days where it felt like everything was going wrong, although it wasn't.

It was the same on Tuesday.  We also had a spinning class during gym, which I didn't like, although I felt quite good after.  I started getting a really really really bad headache because of the class.  And then - I actually finally broke down on Tuesday, although I hate to admit it.  I think it was the combination of my mother being on skype and not sounding totally happy with stress.  I mean, it's been about 6 weeks now, so it had to happen sometime!  I'm quite happy it's over with, and I slept so well last night because I was so tired from being upset and from gym class!  Either way I wasn't happy.  But now I am totally fine!  So, no worries.
