Today we woke up to clear skies and sunshine, so my mom invited us on a boat trip. We decided to take the boat across the fjord and we found this really nice area where we set up camp. We had a really good time, grilling and making bread on a rock we placed on top of the camp fire. We realized that low tide was coming up so kept moving the boat, but suddenly the water moved to quickly and we did not move the boat in time. No matter what we tried, the boat was stuck. I checked my cell phone and realized that the next high tide would happen around midnight. This is Norway mind you, so being outside at the beach until midnight did not seem tempting. After making a few calls, Odin said he would come pick us up. A trip that was not too far by boat was considerable longer by car, and we did not know exactly where we were. We managed a general description and then Geir, me, Celina and Troy went looking for the road. To make it exciting for the kids we said that we were super spies looking for the road in order to save Mormor, Morfar and great grandma. We had to climb a the cliffs down by the fjord, then walk accross a field, walk on a dirt road until we finally made it to a paved road. We then started heading for the main road. Luckily Odin found us before we had to walk all the way to the main road.
Troy and Celina thought that being stranded on a deserted island, and then being super spies was super exciting so I don't think they will forget this day anytime soon. It was not our (read the adult's) proudest moments, but I would say it was a great trip since the kids had so much fun.
