She's so heavy

Our cabin is small and dark. It feels like it is miles underwater but is actually above water and just on the inside of the boat. The consequences of booking at the last minute and taking the special 3 day return deal (with a guided tour of Bergen even), but it was significantly cheaper than normal one way tickets. Just kind of disappear after a while in Bergen and be on our way and nobody will notice, or probably care. I'm sure others do that a lot too.


No windows and almost complete pitch darkness at night makes it a little strange. The PA makes announcements occasionally, it is 8.30 and first breakfast is being served, it is 9.00 and the duty free shop is open. It adds some to the surrealness of it. Both are in English and Norwegiean. There is a slight twisting rocking of the boat. Not just back and forth but with a slight twist too. The room creaks with it. A few times last night it felt a little more bumpy but now is very smooth.
