Scandi, a blue wardrobe and the ultimate Australian himbo
Cam's bimbo moment of the week
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting the three other guys that Cam bonded with on his Contiki tour - and they were quick to inform me of Cam's tour nickname "the dumbest smart kid ever"
This name was then reinforced with no less than ten examples of classic bimbo Cameron moments from the tour - my favourite being the moment when he walked out of the Notre Dame in Paris and turned to Pete asking "hey man when are we going to that Notre Dame place?"
Since then Camo has managed to continue the tradition, and I thought that the blog would be a great place to post my favourite one each week. This week was a particularly hard decision to make but my absolute favourite occured when:
We had just arrived at Stanstead Airport, Camo decides to take control of the situation, pulls out our passports and walks over to the Norwegian Air check in desk
"Good morning sir and where are you flying today?"
"I'm going to Norway"
"Yes sir, we only fly to Norway, where in Norway are you going?"
turns around to Lauren - "We're going to Norway right?"
"Uh, yes Cam - we're going to O-s-l-o"
-----------------------------------------------
Well, here I am sitting in Børre's study in Norway, finnally (after 13 weeks) able to use the internet without counting the seconds untill I will be logged off!
We flew into Oslo airport yesterday and we're having an awesome time. Børre is the best host in the history of mates coming to stay - truly. He picked us up from the airport, brought us back to his amazing house with all of this Scandinavian design everywhere ( it's all sexy wood n stuff - so cool, and so BIG! There's like a fridge room thing and a sauna and a field outside his backyard. Cam and I just keep walking around like little kids and playing with things like the electric pepper grinder!)
so where was I? Oh yeah - recounting yesterday ...and then he cooked us this traditional Norwegian food for lunch - like these indigenous meatballs mmm so good.
And then he drove us into the city and we did the whole tourist sightseeing and photos thing.(Which reminds me I really do need to upload some photos...)
The today after waking up to have breakfast (bacon and cheese in a tube on toast anyone?) we all kind of dozed off into a little mid morning snooze.
We all woke up a few hours later, the cartoon network was still on and the breakfast stuff was all over the coffee table so we showered and dressed and hit the (raining) town.
We decided to hit the galleries as it was such a wet day, and of course in true lazy lau n cam style we punctuated the day with various cafe stops and snacks. The Edvard Munch museum was so inspiring, I can't wait to get back to London and do some sketching!
So the plan for tommorow is that we're driving to Børre's summer house (only 1/2 an hour away!) which is near the fjord in Oslo and we're going to hang out with his parents.
I seriously cannot believe how anyone with such an awesome house as this could possibly want to leave it for the summer to go and live in another house? Guess I'll find out tommorow!
In other news...
The other day Cam was feeling all domestic and decided to do our washing while I was slaving away at Subway. Long story short: my entire wardrobe is now blue (mental note to Cam - don't wash your new shirt from Amsterdam with the other light coloured clothes again!)
And a few days before that we had yet another weird "Are you Queenslanders (who won the triple j beat the drum comp) sure that you aren't following us around the globe?" moment, when Cookie n Shannon turned up just one suburb away from us in Leigh-on-Sea.
How weird is that, we met on our first day 13 weeks ago in an LA hostel room, (and discovered to our amazement that we have identical round-the-world itinerarys) then accidentally bumped into them and their equally "rad" mates in another hostel room in New York, and now out of all the towns in all of the UK they show up in the one just down the road!
So we've all decided we should stop relying on fate and start helping her out a little and we're all going to the Reading and Tomatina festivals together!
So as a tribute to Cookie, Shannon, Jacko n Alicia, and the fabulous Australians-living-in-the-UK bond that we have developed here are a few links to them
1. The triple J beat the drum webpage
2. Cookie's blog (that co incidentally is so well written that I'm ever so jealous)
And that's the reason why they won the comp - awesome hey?
That's QLDer ingenuity for ya ; )
Cheers for now guys!
