“The boat is about to go under a bridge across a narrow part of the fjorde.. the expedition busses will go over the bridge as we go under it. Can you stand at the front of the ship and wave a Norwegian flag for them?”
Um.. I guess? Sure! (It’s not like I have anything better to do, I wanted to watch us go through the canal anyway..)
I fought my way against the wind to the front deck and joined a ‘crowd’ of bemused people who were fighting the wind to stay on the front deck.
Then we received our flags..
..and waved them at each other and at the busses and at the world in general while the boat and the busses honked their respective horns (and the locals presumably hid).
And then we handed the flags back and went inside again.
And that was the end of another bizarre favour.
I have been asked to do some bizarre things in my ~35 years on this planet, but this, this standing on a fancy cruise ship as an unkempt day passenger in strong wind and rain, waving a foreign flag at a couple of tour busses has to be close to the top…
