Day:190, Words:190: Øksfjordians on holiday!

The temperature climbed up to mid 40s and like the numerous other families from Norway, the Øksfjordians chose to camp at the poolside for most of the day. This idyllic situation is really what the sun starved folk of the north need, at least a couple of weeks a year. Cultural experience and historical perpective is important, but the feel of sweat on the forehead and tropical nights is what keeps them coming back year after year.

The charter tour is enjoyed by some and loathed by others.The Scandinavians like to put their well earned kroner to good use and invest their trust in one of many tour companies that ensure that nothing is like it as home, meaning cheap drinks, continous hot days and endless sandy beaches. The option is also there for the all incluive package which means that as many drinks, food and ice cream can be consumed as humanly possible.

During some chater flights, the fun begins with drinks being served at the gate, followed by some more beverage service on the plane and concluding with a raucous applause as it lands at the sunny destination.
