The story of a bored individual...

Got back from the camping trip about an hour ago. I'm rather tired, even tho we got to sleep this morning and I went to bed rather early yesterday compared to the other nights.
Belgua and my aunt have got the cold, my mom and I are starting to get it. Might be why I'm tired... don't know.

Anyways we had a nice time yesterday. Left early and drove for a while. Stopped in a little town and had a look in the shops. I just bought two tapes for my video camera, and a 5 pack of mini-disks. I was a nice day, the sun was shining and the temperature was at a comfortable level.
When we eventually arrived at the camp site we just took it easy. Beluga and I watched a little tv, there was an "Osbournes" marathon, so that was on much of the time. We also read our books.
In the eventing we went to a restaurant, but they didn't really have any food that Beluga and I liked, so after a discussion we went up to a diner at the other end of the grounds. Chicken and fries, always good. :)
After we'd eaten we returned to the camper van and watched some more TV, and read. Eventually Beluga and I went to look for the parental-units who were by the camp-fire. (It's a tradition in Germany to have camp fires at easter.) Found them, had a look at the fire, and returned to the camper van.
All in all it was a pretty easy-going day. I didn't mind it at all, and Belgua seemed happy reading her "Sharpe" book. (I'm still reading LOTR for the 3rd time.)

Today we got to sleep in, did me good. We just took it easy and got on our way after a while. Now we're back in Hamburg. Don't really have any plans for the rest of the day, might be just as well; give the sick a chance to get better. :)

Made it to Germany in one piece... almost. :p

Beluga came over Tuesday evening, to sleep over since we were leaving early next morning. We didn't get much sleep, I was tired, but my body and brain wouldn't listen + Beluga chattering beside me most of the night didn't help much. It didn't matter tho, got up in the morning without much trouble.
Eventually we got moving, and got on board the boat. We hurried to the seating area, since we wanted seats by the window. That didn't happen. We had reserved places in Captain's class which basically means we get a buffet on the 2.5 hour boat trip. Eat as much as you like.
Most people were finished eating before the boat left port, I waited a little while, but finally fetched some food.
Bad thing was that there would be about 1.5-2 meter high waves during the trip, something they mentioned after I had eaten. The waves hit us on the side on the back of the boat, so it was a pretty bad rocking motion. I sat with my eyes closed, just focusing on my breathing, and trying to zone out the people around me that started throwing up. After a while my mom got sick and started throwing up, which made it really hard to ignore. Didn't take long before I got sick as well. Beluga, and my parents thought I was sleeping since I had my eyes closed, but it was just so I wouldn't have to look at the pucking people. Sorry...am writing a little too much in detail about this... in short, my mom and I got sea-sick. Beluga and my dad din't.
When we eventually got our feet on land again I was pretty knackered, and was just happy that I wouldn't have to endure more waves for a while.
After an about 6 hour drive we arrived in Hamburg, and got a huge welcome from my family. It was great to see them all again, and I'm just happy to be here. When we got to my aunts apartment she gave us enough food to feed a small village. I took it as I had only eaten a little dry bread, and some gum since the boat ride.
We went to bed early, 21:00, took a while before I got to sleep tho. I was knackered. Beluga wasn't tired at all, poor thing, don't think I was pretty good company that day.

The next morning we had to get up at 09:00, which I didn't really mind. Would have loved to sleep some more, but I got up without much trouble. We went to a local mall, which is walking distance from the flat. Bought some candy. Then we went to a bigger mall called "Elbe". I got my eye on a "X-Men" game for Play Station 1, we'll probably be going there again, so I think I'll buy it. After wards we went to yet another shopping mall, I just bought a Coke, as the air in that mall was really thick and it didn't take long before I started feeling I'll. Helped with a little to drink tho.
The evening we just took it easy, think all of us were pretty knackered. Most of the grownups went to bed at at 21:00, Beluga and I stayed up watching Nirvana stuff on German MTV until 23:15. After that we just talked and had fun. Don't think we really went to sleep until about 02:00.

We had to get up at 09:00 again this morning, that was hard. I didn't get up more out of spite than the fact that I was tired. Ended up with someone letting the air out of the mattress we were sleeping on. I gave up in the end and got up. We didn't do much today, had a drive around the city, had a little look around. We saw the city hall, and the channel with the boats. Lastly we drove to the Repobahn, which is basically a very seedy area, with nudy bars, hookers, and such. Sad thing is that there's a police station in the same street, and a church at the other end of the street. We just drove through it, wasn't really tempting to step out of the car.
We were supposed to go to the "Hamburg Dom" this evening, which is a big traveling amusement park. But it's a holy day, so it's closed. Belgua and I have just taken it easy, spent some time reading our books, and figuring out what we can do while we're here. :)

Tomorrow we're going to a camp site, and will sleep over until Sunday. Looking forward to it. :)
