Friday I travelled back home to Norway for 2 weeks, so that I can attend both my cousin’s bachelorette party and her wedding. I arrived quite late and just got a short sleep before it was up and get ready for an exciting weekend.
Friday was mostly spent on traveling, so not much to tell about that day. The only thing was that I arrived at the airport 1h earlier than I was planning to, but better too early rather than too late. Everything else went smoothly all the way home.
The big day was yesterday. I had to wake up at 7 am to shower and get ready for my mum to drive me and my sister to my cousin’s place. There we met up with all the other guest, and received a goodie bag with various items. We all got a nice T-shirt, a bracelet, a pink cowboy hat and some snacks and drinks.
After everyone had arrived it was off to Tønsberg and the house we had rented for the weekend. It took us about 1h to arrive to the house, and we had to leave as soon as we had unloaded the car. Our next stop was the trotting track where we had arranged it so that my cousin got try out trotting racing for herself (with supervision). We were a bit late, so the horse had been waiting for almost 30 min, but it went well and the bride to be enjoyed herself a lot. We stood on the side line with drinks and cheered. When they had ran a couple of rounds it was off and ready to head into the city for some lunch.
We ended up sitting in the park and had small games and quiz (which I did terrible on) before we ordered some pizza for lunch. We all shared stories and just got to know each other before heading on to the next activity.
Our next stop was Escape room. We got put into two teams of 6 and were given to different rooms. Our was about us being kidnapped on our way home from a night out. We were actually so bad that we needed several hints and even with those we barely made it out in time. We had like 1.5 minute left on the clock, but it was a lot of fun to try and fail solving all the puzzles. The other team did much better than us, but they apparently also had two members who were very excited and active.
For the rest of evening we just had dinner by the docks at a place called “Haveriet”, where I ordered a chicken tagliatelle with Smirnoff of Ice raspberry. My cousin even got a free beer from a guy at another table. We headed out to our last place for the evening afterwards. Where we played some shuffle board and got some more drinks.
My sister and I headed back to the house at 10pm already, because she had a headache and even though a part of me wanted to stay with the girls, I also wanted to make sure that my sister got home safely. We both went to bed when we got to the house. I did hear that the other girls were up until around 3 am just party and drinking.
Today we just woke up, had a small breakfast and then just prepared to leave. We discussed in the car about how the evening went, and we all agreed that even though it was a really fun day + night, the fact that one of the guest had her baby, dog and husband with her, which meant that she constantly needed to keep tabs on that. The fact that her behaviour made people a bit annoyed also kind of ruined the night. She and some of the guests just up and left earlier, without saying goodbye or cleaning up the room they had slept in. So we all came to the conclusion that she probably shouldn’t have joined or only joined for part of it and then gone home.
The bride to be did have a lot of fun, despite that little piece of drama.
After we got back to my cousins place, we just said goodbye to the remaining guest and my mum came and picked me up. The rest of the day we just went for a walk, changed some light bulbs, visited my dads grave and had a nice dinner. We were suppose to buy new ones, but forgot that things are closed on Sundays.
So that was the end of this weekend. Tomorrow we are planning on doing some tidying in the garage and then probably go for another walk. So far, I’m enjoying the trip.
