Hej!
By now I have guided for the first time and it went pretty okay. Last Thursday I guided one German group in the morning and one in the afternoon on the Atlantic Street (where the bridge ends in heaven…). I guess I could have told them more, but as usual I explained one thing with two sentences while others managed to fill 5 minutes with the same story. The people were happy and I got as much tip as the others, so I guess it was alright. The second tour felt already better and now I have read a bit more about Norway and the region in general, so that I can go more into detail next time and it is material I can use on almost every tour from now on.

On Friday I went for a training to the famous Geiranger Fjord, Dalsnibba and Trollstigen. It is really amazing and I am looking forward to the first tour over there. There is still so much snow and one part is a summer skiing place.
Besides I am still waiting for the stress to begin. I guess I should have come here at least one week later…
This morning we left the house at 5 am to go to Ålesund for some tours. When we arrived there at 7.30 we saw the big ship at the wrong place in the harbour and were making fun of the captain who had missed the dock. Well, 10 minutes later it turned out that the captain had decided that it was too windy (hmm… we noticed hardly any wind and compared to Gbg there was no wind what so ever!) and that he would not stop in that nice little town at all!!! So, we took a walk for an hour – at 8 in the mornings! - and went back home.
Tomorrow are only tours in Italian, French and Spanish, so I’m hoping for some guiding on Wednesday.
I might go to Trondheim on Thursday and Friday for some “vacation”.

Lille: ja, das ist bzw. war der Stuhl!
Selma: Believe me – I would have loved to join you! You should have tried the “Uppswinget” though… it’s really cool! Next time… without all those men who are only good at winning chocolate!

Hej Bettina! Det är kul att höra att du äntligen fått börja jobba, snart slipper du kanske vara uttråkad... :) Kommer det att bli mer guidning senare i sommar?
