- 3:00Speaker 1: Well, they love to hike, by the way. Of course,
- 3:02Speaker 1: because it's mountains.

- 3:03Speaker 2: I felt like a Viking there.
- 3:05Speaker 1: I felt like Lord Ragnar. That's how I lost weight.
- 3:08Speaker 2: We're just like hiking everywhere. And we went to this
- 3:11Speaker 2: crystal clear lake, right? I think, I don't know if
- 3:15Speaker 2: you saw the pictures where, and you drink that water
- 3:18Speaker 2: and you've never felt more refreshed in your life. It
- 3:21Speaker 2: just felt like, Water from the gods.
- 3:24Speaker 1: That's amazing. Oh, my word, that was stunning. All of
- 3:28Speaker 1: this sounds incredible. That just sounds incredible.
- 3:31Speaker 2: And then the dog sled one with the huskies. Yes.
- 3:34Speaker 2: So you go in and you can play with the huskies.
- 3:36Speaker 2: And then you can pet them. And there's like about
- 3:38Speaker 2: 200 of them. And then they're like, okay, this is
- 3:40Speaker 2: your one. And then there's eight huskies. I'm like, we're
- 3:43Speaker 2: going to need 12.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Was that your first thought?
- 3:46Speaker 2: Yes.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Are you sure these huskies can carry.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Me, dude?
- 3:48Speaker 2: I was so nervous because I was like, I like
- 3:50Speaker 2: weigh 100.
- 3:50Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 3:51Speaker 2: My husband's like 98. I don't know what's going to
- 3:54Speaker 2: happen here. And this guy, his name was Liam.
- 3:56Speaker 1: He was from Australia.
- 3:57Speaker 2: No, New Zealand. He said to us, are you guys
- 3:59Speaker 2: from Jamaica?
- 4:00Speaker 1: We're like, South Africa. I was like, oh. Then I said,
- 4:01Speaker 1: are you from Australia? He's like, New Zealand.
- 4:03Speaker 2: I said, same thing. And he was like, no, don't worry.
- 4:05Speaker 2: These are the strongest dogs in the world. Watch, dude,
- 4:10Speaker 2: as they pulled off. It was just like being in
- 4:12Speaker 2: a jet. And they just take you and you're like
- 4:15Speaker 2: snow sledding, snow sledding. And then, oh.
- 4:17Speaker 1: It's incredible. It was just incredible.
- 4:20Speaker 3: And.
- 4:21Speaker 2: I was warm this time because remember Switzerland, I almost
- 4:23Speaker 2: lost my toes?
- 4:24Speaker 3: Yes.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Oh, I was so prepared, babes. So you had the thermals.
- 4:26Speaker 2: Oh, babe, I went to Cape Union March. I had
- 4:31Speaker 2: thermal socks, thermal underwear, thermal pants, thermal perl neck, thermal everything.
- 4:36Speaker 2: If I could have found a thermal handbag, I would
- 4:38Speaker 2: have bought that baby as well.
- 4:39Speaker 3: All right. Well, those are the details, right? Because a
- 4:41Speaker 3: lot of people are asking.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Flightcenter.co.za.
- 4:44Speaker 3: You can obviously speak to your consultant there.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Those guys know how to travel, right?
- 4:49Speaker 2: They absolutely know. They'll know where you fly. Like I said,
- 4:52Speaker 2: it was easiest. KLM to Amsterdam and then an hour
- 4:55Speaker 2: and a half flight to Bergen in Norway.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Easy.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Easy.
- 4:59Speaker 2: I mean, for instance, we came back on Saturday, right?
- 5:02Speaker 2: We left Bergen Saturday morning. We were, in the evening,
- 5:07Speaker 2: we were landing in Joburg.
- 5:07Speaker 1: That's amazing.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Yeah, like just, none of that like half a day, no,
- 5:11Speaker 2: like literally left in the morning.
- 5:13Speaker 1: One day travel, done.
- 5:14Speaker 2: We were in Joburg and that was it.
- 5:15Speaker 1: It was amazing.
- 5:16Speaker 2: To go to the most northern place in the world
- 5:20Speaker 2: and you see the northern lights, I've never experienced anything
- 5:23Speaker 2: like it.
- 5:24Speaker 1: I've always felt like it's unaffordable. No, it's absolutely affordable.
- 5:28Speaker 3: But now looking on a flight to the side, I
- 5:30Speaker 3: was like, no, you can do this.
- 5:31Speaker 2: And also the Norwegian currency. One to two, eh? Oh, really? Yeah. Strong. Yeah.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Okay. No, we felt strong there. No, and that's what
- 5:39Speaker 1: I'm saying. We were balling out of control.
- 5:41Speaker 2: I was like, I'll take 10 jerseys. I know, Frankie,
- 5:45Speaker 2: you and I thought the best hot dogs we had
- 5:47Speaker 2: were in Germany.
- 5:48Speaker 1: At the Frankfurt. The airport.
- 5:50Speaker 2: The airport.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Scratch that.
- 5:52Speaker 2: There's some place, they're called three warnings, three something, three something.
- 5:56Speaker 3: I saw you post it and I was like, this
- 5:59Speaker 3: looks amazing.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Dude.
- 6:00Speaker 1: It's the best you've ever had, eh? I had four. Four?
- 6:03Speaker 2: Yeah. But I walked around.
- 6:04Speaker 3: But that was also the last bread you had. The
- 6:08Speaker 3: last carbs. Because from there it was salmon.
- 6:10Speaker 2: It was salmon. Also the best salmon sashimi I've ever had.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Because think about it.
- 6:15Speaker 1: I mean, for them, it's to catch the fish.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Literally. You catch it, you slice it, you serve it.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Oh my word, it was delicious.
