Charlie has his own personal website - very funny it is too, very swank! So Charlie, how long did it take you to learn how to code all that HTML?!?

Mike went on a slightly longer trip last year - site very unfinished, style very familiar ;-)

All pictures taken on Mike's brand-new, cheap, cheerful and unbelievably cute SiPix digital camera.

OK. What is there to see on Utsira? What would a *real* website show you? These chaps brought along a decent camera and made a decent website.

We flew Gatwick-Bergen-Haugesund courtesy of the lovely Braathens...

... stayed a night at the unfeasibly-named Crowded House hostel in Bergen...

... before taking the ferry, the MS Utsira, out to, you guessed it, Utsira. Here's the timetable. Say hello from us to the captain, Toralf, who also runs...

... Sjølyst. Congratulations, by the way, to Toralf and Irene, the youngest looking grandparents in town. A stay here is *highly* recommended, though the milk we left in the fridge may be off by now...

Don't be put off by the local weather forecast...

... but always remember the reason we were there wasn't to watch the birds (lots of twitchers on Utsira), but to research Charlie's forthcoming book on the shipping forecast

Enjoy!
