Alice in Wonderland and other weekend treats

Yesterday, after a couple of scintillating hours in downtown Sandefjord and a very nice coffee in Etasje which is in the main square, we decided that we just had to do something different in the evening. We were both suffering from cabin fever.

A quick scan of the entertainment options came up with a movie or a movie....  To make it a real treat we decided to see "Alice in Wonderland" 3D which was not playing at the local movie house but in Tonsberg.  That is about 30 minutes by bus from our home.  Quite an exciting departure from our regular routine. Here is run down on the cost just for those who have no idea how expensive it is to have even a small life here:

Bus for two: 90 kroner each way = 180
Movie for two: 280 kroner
Grand total 460 kroner or just over $80.00

This is not counting the small bag of licorice or the two small cartons of apple juice which pushed the evening over a hundred dollars. So to compare with the $18.00 I am used to paying I can tell you I will not be doing this again any time soon.  The whole of life here equates to just about the same comparison of cost so for those who think they can live here cheaply think again.

The movie was very good and very entertaining, I would recommend it, but I believe the 3D was unnecessary we would have enjoyed it just as much without it.

Today we went for a run, cheap and nice in the current weather and about all we can afford now!
