Third day at Härnösand




This day was very wired. We knew we would drive to a place called "Boda Borg" (speak: "buda borje").

Hans welcomed us with the words "Now, we are taking you to the right place for you: a mental hospital!". Boda Borg was once a mental hospital, but was closed years ago. A few years ago unemployed people invented an adventure track. It is very crazy! The three levels: Green, Red and Black. Green for thinking, red for thinking and sports and black for a lot of sports. Every track has several rooms. If you enter a room, you have to find out what the inventors want you to do. You you find out, the green light above the door to the next room lightens. If you fail, a red light lightens and you have to exit and begin again. If you fail in the second, third or what-ever room you always have to begin at the first one. This is very hard! First we started the track called "Cave". There was a gollum from "Lord of the rings" painted at the wall, several silver and gold bars and a tunnel. We crawled through that tunnel und came into a small room with a silver and a gold bar each with a button and a counter. We tried the buttons and the counter were incremented. But we did not enter the right numbers, so we failed and had to leave through the exit. At the second try, we got the idea to count the silver and gold bars of the whole cave and used the amount of bars for the counters. And the green light for the second room lightend!! The second room was no room. It was a long but tiny tunnel we had to crawl through! That's nothing for claustrophpicals! I had several problems, because i am so tall. The tunnel led us upwards and we entered a room with a globe and several buttons, each with a flag... we made a lot of tracks and solved hard riddles. Some we did not solve. But Joana, our leader, has never given up so we had to do the exercises again and again until we solved the last room of a track were we unlocked a lock to a stamp. Our group was named "bodaborgs tomtarna" what means "Elves of Boda Borg" and our motto was "Allihoppa" what means "All together". At the end of the day, we had 6 stamps! Hans told us 3 or 4 would be normal. So we won the "competition", but at least at was a great fun.
Now there are 9 Boda-Borgs all over sweden, but we were at the original one. But that is nothing for export to Germany, because it would be too dangerous for secutiry loving Germans.

After Boda Borg we drove to a water powerplant where salomns jumped out of the water. In an aquarium they had really big salmons. I can never imagine any rope of the world can stand them.

You can see all pictures of this really crazy trip at EILC2006 site

In the evening Joana and Inga had the great idea to make a dinner party. Joana managed the kitchen. She's a genius while managing up to 4 pots, cutting vegetables by herself, taught untrained men like me how to cut vegetable and was making jokes at one time! She never made a break and after two hours dinner was ready for being eaten. The party gone till four o'clock in the morning, but because of the hard exercises at Boda Borg i was so tired i went to bed at "klockan elva på kvällen" (11 o'clock at the evening).

I will survive

Wow. I did it! I survived surströmming! At least it tastes better than it smells, but that's not difficult. I don't need that taste again in my life. Bäh.... But from the beginning: they day started with practicing for the surströmming-party. My group trained a pantomimic performance. Every group had to present their results from their surströmming-investigation. The first group presented a Talk-Show, the second was my own group, the third had a very funny surströming-commercial performance, the fourth has covered the beautiful song " Vem vet " (engl.: Who knows) to " Vem äter " (engl.: Who eats) and the last made a TV-Show. It was a great fun. After the introduction we were seperated into groups again to prepare the party. I decided to help the entertainmentgroup. We exercised a song, almost one hour. After that, Nicola and i decided to make a few scetches as serving couple. Because of this we went back to the hostel to change our dress, but when we returne...

Fourth day at Härnösand

This was used to be our free day. Somehow the sunday passed by quicker than the days before. After the party at night i left already at 11 o'clock i walked to the universitiy for internet. But when i arrived, the internet was down. I have waited for 2 hours, but it didn't come back. So i had to walk 15 minutes back to the hostel without having done anything usefull. When i arrived i heard the internet was up again. Arg, why didn' stay in bed before?! After my second visit at the u niversity (internet was realy online), it was afternoon and Jana, Klara, Katerina, Denis and i decided to walk to the east coast of the island to see the open sea. On our way we met Phil who joined our trip. We walked about an our until we arrived at a small village "Gånsvik" at the east coast. We climbed on several rocks. The landscape was great. After four hours at all we were back at the hostel. Nothing more happend and i was realy tired from walking so went to bed early again.
