Everything on the island was simple. The land provided some of the bare necessities, fruits, herbs and the peppery, deep green olive oil that was the basis of everything. It wouldn’t be hard for a time to want to pursue a life like this, unhindered, unassuming and particularly stress free. Evenings bringing visitors: parents, friends, neighbours bearing syrupy cakes; All cooling off in the Mediterranean night, by the quiet hum of ageing ceiling fans or the lacy mantília that the smattering of local assorted widows and older women in general used to fan themselves. But all here for one purpose only; to eat, laugh and talk well into the night.

7 September
Bette was amazed when she stepped inside the Viking ship Museum in Oslo and came face to face with a ship that looked almost ready to set sail again.
It was near closing time and the place was near deserted save for a few staff members scattered around the exhibits in the large room she had just entered.
She couldn’t have timed it better herself. Her plan had been simple, get off the plane in the Norwegian Capital head for the Museum and if her search was to be fruitless, her plan was to catch the very next flight back to Athens and Tina on Antikythera.
She berated herself one more time for stupidly overlooking this wreck. Tina had urged her not to worry and stop fussing over leaving her behind ‘as it would be possibly simpler’. Travel was easy enough these days to allow her to rectify her omission easily.
The last European ship on her father’s list happened to be on dry land and really was more a grave than a wreck. A farmer had found this Viking longship about a 100 years ago under a ceremonial burial mound on his land at the Oseberg farm.
The soil that had covered the Oseberg had kept out all the air, which meant that the vessel’s timbers were exceptionally well preserved. Inside, archaeologists had unearthed a real treasure trove of decorated objects buried with two female corpses.
The fact that the wreck/grave had already been studied did not give Bette a great deal of confidence she’d be able to find anything herself. But once again, her father would have come across this ship in the very same state as she herself was now looking at.

Hi Kins,
So glad to see this story! It will take some time to read it and i will leave a comment after i finish.
Hi, welcom back, Kins!
Thank you for finished this story! Ok, now i’m going to read it.
Hi, Kins
Oh my God, Kins, welcome back, after almost 2 years, it’s been a long time, but reading the whole story now I feel, the wait was worth.
You have given us a quite wonderful and interesting story full of adventures and riddles and full of love of my favorite couple Bette and Tina.
You ended the story in a very good way, but I feel as if I want to know more about them, if Bette gets the funding for her project in Mexico, the wedding, their partnership, what Tina does for a job… and many more things.
I hope we could read more new beautiful stories from you; I like very much your style.
Thank you very much and please, post other TIBETTE stories

Ok, i read again this story, this time the whole and i’m ready to leave another comment.
First – thank you again for finish the story.
Second – happy to see happy final -treasure was found, bitch Kelly got lost. And i must say i like how you got rid from her – like in life we can say with 100% probability what happened – or she sank or she was killed by shark.
Third – i like how you described Bette and Tina and love between them. I like it in all your stories (maybe with one exception – in Frozen beginnings i don’t like your Bette during the story, but in final she corrected :) )
So, welcome back and maybe in the future we can see another great story from you? I really hope so.
Hi Kins,
Really enjoyed the read, thank you so much.
A great Story and I loved reading it in one post. As an English Lady I really enjoyed your explanation of Cricket!
I would love it if you would now consider a Sequel with these two characters.
Thanks again for posting.

Welcom back, Kins!
I was a silent reader a long time, but after you finished this story i must register to say – “Thank you for fantastic story! And i hope this story won’t be your last on this site!”
Totaly agree with MissOne – i hope this story won’t be the last from you too!
Hi Kins,
You took us trough a incredible journey! Full of adventures, little clues i tried to catch to find the treasure, the background on the history of those ships and of course the love between Bette & Tina.
I really hope you will continu with a sequel or a new story.
Thank you so much for posting the whole story after two long years!
In-cre-di-ble! Kins, thank you so much for returning to this story and for giving us such a glorious and sweet ending. You’re such a talented writer. What a wonderful plot with astonishing details to the treasure hunt.
I second the previous comments and hope you’ll find the inspiration (and time) to work on a sequel. Maybe Bette’s project in Mexico with a twist with some unexpected traces of a legendary Aztec treasure ;)
Well ive read it at last.So pleased you managed to finish this story.I know how long it was in conception and all the research you did for its authenticity.
A great read.Loved the shark sequence.Found it quite thrilling.
