Winter Break

I've just got back from Skeikampen, near Lillehammer. We had a week long holiday for winter break. It was a great week. We went with some of the cousins.

The first day we got there in the late afternoon and unpacked. The second day the fun began! In the morning we were just sledding down a small hill. In the afternoon we went for a short cross country ski just near our cabin. It was a bit difficult, because at the start there were no tracks. We had to get through big piles of snow. Everytime I went to stick my poles in they would sink!

The next day we went into Lillehammer. We went to a ski resort there and had a great view out over the mountains. It was spectacular. Then we went to Peppas Pizza for lunch. Its a chain thats in Norway. After lunch we headed to the olympic stadium. We saw the Olympic torch and the ski jumps. Lillehammer is such a cute town.

The next day we drove to where some good ski tracks were. We packed our lunch before we left. When we stopped for lunch we built a fire. As we were about to cook the polsar (hot dog sausages) we discovered that we had left it at the cabin! We ended up having kvikk lunsj (chocolate thats like kit kats) in the polsar buns.

The next day was so much fun! Downhill skiing. It was heaps of fun. The second last day we went cross country skiing again. Mina (host sister), Morten (Host Dad), Jorunn (Host Mum) and I went for an 11.6km ski. It was quite fun.
