En viking er en hardhaus - en som tåler
mer av fysiske anstrengelser og er mindre frøsen enn folk flest.
"Laugarlaget" på Vea er garantert kvalifisert til en slik vikingtittel.
For hør bare her: Hver søndag i alle måneder mer "r"
i, dvs. september t.o.m. april, kaster de seg med overbevisning ut i Sævik's
kalde vann - selv når frostrøyken preger dagen - fordi de
mener det er bra for kroppen.
Haugaland.Net var invitert til besøk,
og fant en gruppe menn som nærmer seg livets beste dager - og som
forbereder seg ved å styrke helsen med et kaldt bad etterfulgt av
en salig stund ved peisen og god drikke i glassene. Det ble antydet noe
om hemmelige ritualer, men vi forlot dem før disse ble praktisert.
Se godt på dem. Slik ser trauste,
norske menn ut. Gid de lenge, lenge leve må !!

A wiking is known to be a rough guy -
enduring physical strain and cold conditions better than most people do.
"Laugarlager" ( the team of men washing their bodies once a week) on Vea,
mid western Karmøy are very qualified to be called wikings. Every
Sunday at noon in all month's including an "r" in its name (Sep-Apr) they
remove the winter cloths and jump unconditionally into the cold waters
of Sævik, even when the frost makes "smoke" over the sea. They do
this because they feel that this is good for their
bodies!
We met these brave men, a bit less than
middle aged, preparing themselves for the years to come with this cold
swim, followed by a good time in front of the open fire place where they
may have had some secret ceremonies after we left. At least they gave us
this impression.
Look at them. This is how rough norwegian
men looks. May they live for ever!

This week:
This week we have had heavy rain and wind.
Temperatures are fairly mild, and - christmas has arrived, at least for
the merchants preparing us to buy things for the happy time to come. We
will bring some pictures of the decorated streets and shopping activities
next week.
