When we met her - the Captain

Sunday a week ago

Anna and her chauffeur wake up in the office of a Youth Hostel (scroll down to my post below) - had breakfast and found their way to the Car Ferry. We were not alone. So to speak, to cross the sound between Gotland and Fårö - home of Theater and Movie Ikon Ingmar Bergman, who died to day.

When waiting for the next ferry - I took some photos and also observed a Bankomat. I told Anna to go there - to have some cash. She did. While there, all the waiting cars for the ferry suddenly started to move - an extra ferry was put in traffic. I drove slowly - did not have any cash to pay the tickets - to bring Anna into the Car again. 10 meters before entering the Ferry, Anna jumped into the car.

But where to pay?

Certainly on board - of course. But no. Well, at Fårö, you sooner or later have to go back - pay on return. Easy? Right? (No - it's free - like a road - this is considered a "water road" in Sweden)

Then, we were heading towards Captain Lifecruiser. We had an obscure idea where mrs and mr Lifecruiser have their summer paradise. Obscure, of course, after sleeping in an office - we had had night work to do *giggles* - -

We followed our Captains road description - butt stopped at 11:30 am. And called. This is a very short extract from our 10 hour call - no 10 minutes ---

- Hi, it's Tor

- Oh hi Tor, so nice to hear your voice - he he - where are you, Mr Lifecruiser said

- We are just outside ---- Said I

- That's very close- we are not dressed - at all *giggle* - Reason? Read 4 yourself.

- I don't care if you are dressed or not - save the planet *giggles* he he

- OK - you are very close - just drive very slowly.... He continued

- How far is it? 100 meters - 200 - 400 - 800 or 1 km?

- In between

- What shall I look for?

- A grey building

- Most buildings here are sort of grey. What colour of your car do you have?

- it's ----

- Good - then I'll find you

We of course did. After about 10 hours (no it felt like it - only one minute) Mr Lifecruiser arrived. And gave us a heartly welcome hug.

Then who else but Captain Lifecruiser stepped out of the Summerparadise house?

What a first time meeting. Unforgetable. What a welcome. Meeting the Captain on our Cyber Cruise in real life. What a blast. We felt immediatly as real old friends.

After the welcome, Mr Lifecruiser drove us all to the North Beach of Fårö. Went for a long walk in the corall sand. Barefooted.

And talked and talked.

And sat down. In the Dunes

Thereafter we went to a restaurant we do recommend. Read more.

It was a windy evening - butt there is allways solutions. Or shelter.

We sat down in the wind shadow - The Farmer himself to the right.

Did we enjoy our selfs? We tested different kind of Wines. Even --- no, can not reveal everything. *giggles*

A wonderful first meeting with a pair of the most wonderful people we ever have met.

The Captain became hungry - and tried to catch some healthy insects.

Anna as Camera hog

Great, friendly people.

We preferred "Fait Trade" Wine. The more we consumed, the more help we gave - *giggles*

In spite of this years summer weather - what a blast of an evening.

It's to early to go to bed - mr Lifecruiser said - and Anna agreed.

It will be a secret at what time we went to bed - In Norway we say: You shall never sleep away the summer nights.

- The Caravan was fixed and ready for the Norse (Norrbaggar) cruisers. We slept on wheels.

A dream of a first time meeting. Thanks to Mr and Mrs Lifecruisers.

Destination Captain Lifecruiser - The real Cruise

When Cyber comes to reality - something happens - Part 1

My regular readers and A-team members may have observed that Anna and I wanted to visit our respectable Captain Mrs Lifecruiser. We did. This time it was not a cyber-cruise but a real one. This story starts with a cyber-cruise you probably not have enjoyed before. (The whole truth about this journey will appear as soon as my brain comes back to normal – I’m only a crew member – remember that). You may also recall my post from the Göta Channel with boats in the middle of farmland- here can everything happen. Enjoy the pictures and the fantastic fact bloggers from different countries can meet this way.

Captain Lifecruiser

Mrs and Mr Lifecruiser do enjoy their Vacation at Fårö – just North of Gotland, Sweden – an Island in the mid of the Baltic Sea. More to read here: http://lifecruiser.com/

They have enjoyed their summer vacations for years at Per’s Farm. And for years all personalities staying here have formed a wonderful friendship and society. I can confirm it's heartwarming - if you believe in friendship before "dead things".

Per looked at something (it was not my Car)

That’s too crazy, he thought - no channel, no WATER

But he had to look one more time - Crazy friends from Norway

Here is what he looked at - mr Lifecruise delivering something - for the cruise

A real cyber cruise - or a green cruise.... (Green thoughts to day of course)

With Champagne

Can we drink it as well?

At the green sea?

Well, the captain did cross The Green Sea with open mouth – that was what she did.

After the cruise - it was about time to do something else. Say hello to the Lamm. That's what's they are named here at Gotland and Fårö.

If you found this journey inspiring, well then we are inline. There is more to come. Our journey to and from was in it self, what most people would say, not piece of cake - so stay tuned. It's a matter of survival. hehehe. And Luck. And - stay tuned.

PS. Thursday afternoon we will pick up our friends from Holland. We met at Lake Tahoe, CA, last year. It's so wonderful to make friendship without boundaries - that's peace creation.

Post Scriptum: Mr and Mrs Lifecruiser are both unique, wonderful, giving people, with a sense of lifestyle and humour rarely found any longer in the western hempisphere. We learned to love them both.
