Ok so I've kept you updated on my trip here. So won't go into that. Very long journey but I didn't mind as this place is so beautiful. I will say though the guy I sat next to on the plane was from my hometown! What's the chances?
The people here are so friendly. I was on the train to Kristiansand and I met some new friends. The train was 5hrs but it seemed shorter as I was chatting to 2 guys. Both had never met each other but we all started chatting. Really pleasant and they were amazed at my choice to do this trip. They told me few places I should visit and gave me their numbers and said I'm welcome to stay with them anytime. Which was very nice of them. I must have took 100 photos on the train. Each bend was a new amazing site to see.
I also met 2 ladies, they had a dog and I stopped to play with the dog. They were getting off at my stop and offered to show me where the bus station was. One of them didn't just point me in the right direction, she walked there with me...
Then the bus driver didn't know the place I was going to so I called the Selma the farm owner and she explained to the driver where he should kick me off. That was a 2hr journey. I got talking to a girl on there (approx 25ish maybe) and she gave me her number and offered to show me around. So thats 3 new friends I have. Well 4 incuding Selma.
The farm!... Well it's not the ritz but it is so so beautiful. There is a ton of work to do which I am very excited about doing. She runs it in her own and realise on travellers help. I'm the only one here at the moment but she get up to 4 travellers to stay at a time. From all over the World. From the ages of 18 to the oldest she said was 67. So looking forward to meeting more travellers. Both Female and Male...
The Animals
She had 7 goats and kid which is currently in the living room. Which I found brilliant. Her name is Maaaaaaa  . 8 horses although one of them is very sick at the moment.  3 Cockerels which all sang a very good morning to me at 4 this morning. Something I'll have to get used to. Still singing now lol. 1 duck. 1 hen lucky thing she is with 3 Cockerels to choose from. Bit like Fab really... a Beagle called Sally who is my new best friend. Think that's all lol. I don't know how she does it on her own? Amazing. The farm is very messy which is understandable. But she has me here now. She amazed that wen she showed me the kitchen I just started to wash the many dishes she piled up. I felt at home instantly. Like I've lived here months. Totally relaxed and she made me feel very welcome. I told her about myself amd she loved the fact I like Animals better than humans lol.
It is very very very very very lol expensive here!!! You wont believe it. Train station.. 20kr for toilet.. £1.80. £1 = 11kr. Medium coffee 50kr. A sausage on a bun 56kr. I needed toothbrush and toothpaste 98kr for both. Need boxershorts 146kr for 2  . The wages make up for it. Average aroung 224kr (£20) - 280kr (£25) an hour. I got... what I thought plenty of cash saved but nowhere near enough. Norway is so amazing that I may stay here a while and find some paid work and save properly. Selma said all the other farms look for people to paint he barns etc and pay around 168kr an hour (£15) cash in hand. So maybe stay. Like I said before I had no plan and I have all the time in the World. I feel good today after a proper sleep and waking uo to the views. Not another house in site and I am about 10 minute walk from the beach which I will explore later. Who knows? I don't! Oooohh forgot about them! The Geese are singing now forgot about them 6 or 7 I think she said.
Thanks again to all who have an interest. I'll update maybe once in morning and once in evening depending how my day is and what stories I have. |

Sounds like a great start, and such a good way to get to know a country and people!
Are you up and working on the farm today or still settling in? |
