Haugsund

We were up at 6.45am. Scott got us some breakfast and we showered and were ready for the day. Last port today at Haugsund where we have been before and we didn’t particularly enjoy it then. We were in two minds if to get off or not but in the end we thought we’d best go do something.

So we were off the ship by 9.30am. We crossed the bridge, I was very slow with Georgia and those two steamed ahead, and we found everything closed for their national day. We did watch them do a parade but apart from that we didn’t feel there was much else to do.

We did have a walk though lots of the main roads and we didn’t have any cash for all the little stores they had set up outside the shops. I was starting to get a bit desperate for the toilet so either needed to get back to the ship or find a cafe.

We did have a walk on the water front but none of those lot seemed to be bothered for a cafe or pub so back to the ship we went. I found the toilet at the port which I was very thankful for, I’m not really sure hubby understands how it feels to walk miles when you need to go.

We went in the ports little shop and the kids got a magnet. I now do wish we hadn’t bothered getting off as it was quite pointless and just ended up causing me more bother.

We had a bunny towel waiting for us when we got back to the cabin. We didn’t know what else to do for something to eat so we had a buffet lunch which I didn’t enjoy at all. I had some chicken and chips. Did try a bit of a burger. Wasn’t great, but maybe I’m bias or picky I don’t know at this point.

I felt really rotten so we went back to the cabin. The kids played with their puzzle books and I was nodding on the bed as I do when I’m like this so Scott covered me up with my blankie (yes I fetch a blankie on holiday with me) and came to cuddle me but then accidentally fell asleep himself leaving the kids on their phones for an hour.

I had set an alarm just in case so we managed to get up on time for the evening activities. Scott decided he fancied some beer on the balcony rather than go out so since he had done the coffees the other nights then I went up to get the beer with Georgia. I did also try to get a milkshake but it was super busy I just couldn’t be bothered to wait.

The kids had booked in for Skating again at 5 so I took them to that as I had promised to while Scott had half hour off to veg on the balcony. He has a nice hour to himself and the kids did love the skating but I was really flagging and tried not to spoil it for those three. We did fetch some more beer down for him on the way back from skating as the bar wasn’t far between there and the cabin.

I was feeling really poorly by this point so I wasn’t bothered to do anything. I wouldn’t have left the cabin had that not have been the last day for skating for the kids.

So we had buffet dinner as I couldn’t muster the energy to get changed out of day clothes and I don’t think I could face three courses anyway. I really really dislike buffets, I don’t know how many times I can say this and i think if I could avoid them I really would have but it’s a means to an end. I ended up having some sausage and mash. It wasn’t great, but I was feeling too bad to be concerned. I actually have no idea what the others had. My brain wasn’t exactly firing on all cylinders. I think they might have fetched cookies back to the room.

We went back to the cabin and they played cards all night until 10pm.
