Nordicbet Head of Poker Jostein Grødum was one of the couple of dozen Cash Game Festival attendees to explore a bit of the Meditteranean Sea on a VIP catamaran trip. His face was a little red, but this is natural as he is from Norway. He assured PokerNews he was not sunburned.

Everyone that we asked about the trip said it was amazing. Grødum was no different.

The trip began out of Sliema before heading northbound on the east coast up to St Paul's Bay. Many on the ship went swimming and diving from the boat into the pristine waters.

Grødum shared with PokerNews that instead of swimming he like many others decided to relax and keep drinking from the free open bar on the catamaran.

Grødum shared that from there, the boat continued north to Mellieha where many enjoyed more swimming while others stayed on the boat to continue to soak in the sun and enjoy the drinks.

While some of the players were quick to return to the casino, some are yet to be seen. It is possible that they are resting and enjoying the town. Grødum fell somewhere in the middle where he didn't sprint to the casino but wanted to get here in time to play Sviten Special, which is expected to start momentarily.

"We were all having beers and wine all day in the sun," said Grødum. "While it was fun, it also was a bit tiring. I found time for a quick nap and am soon to get busy playing poker with my collegues."
