Hemsedal

Have returned battered and bruised from my extreme sports trip to Norway. Was a fantastic time. My first 3 days of snowboarding involved many wipe-outs and a lot of time on my ass. By the final two days j martin and myself finally achieved some semblance of mastery over the board.
This was also my first time a snowy mountain climate and I was constantly blown away by creation. One morning we took the lift as high as we could, took off our boards and climbed to the peak to watch the sunrise. I don't recall ever seeing anything as beautiful. Took some of the best photos I have ever taken but proceeded to erase the whole memory card by mistake (any computer whizz out there who can help??).


Can't imagine that a ski holiday can be topped. Physical exertion all day, relaxing in the jacuzzi and sauna then partying with great friends.

I'm hoping to spend a day or two with the Benedictine monks in Rostrevor before I go back to work.

Sing a new song in 2007.

Norway sounds great, but Sweden would have been even better!!!

Can't wait to go skiing in Italy in Feb. Actually Anna is there at the moment - apparently they have given her the nick name mad dog due to her mad antics in the slopes. Anyway I agree with you - it's the best kind of holiday!
