På Ski Tur

På Ski Tur (prounounced poor she tour, on ski tour)

Well on Friday afternoon (4th April, DADS Birthday.... Happy Birthday DAD) I will be heading on Cross country ski tour across 120km of the Norwegian Countryside. Quite different to most weekends away that I am used to in Australia. The Trip will be over 4 days so will be returning hopefully on the Tuesday evening. A little apprehensive about traveling 30km a day on cross country skis with close to no experience. Hopefully what I lack in Experience I make up in Equipment (ALL THE GEAR NO IDEA). I have for the trip New back pack new skis multiple new GORE TEX pieces of clothing, new Shovel (to dig a snow cave if all goes bad…… quietly hoping to be able tto say I have slept in a snow cave :).

I am all packed, just cooked a loaf of bread to take on the trip and had a beer with Joel and borrowing his GPS for emergency case. We will be staying in Huts along the way that are dotted over the Norwegian countryside and can buy some food supplies, so only taking food for during the days. My pack weighs in at 15kg and that is including the essentials such as Jagermeister….. Weather is looking pretty good with light winds and – 5 degrees so hoping it stays like that with maybe a bit of sun would be great Hope to have some great photos on the next blog entry (Better than These ones anyway).

Most essential (transferred to light weight plastic container of course)

Freshly baked bread to take on the tour

All packed and ready

Inflyttningsfest

Hello All,

I have been very lazy lately with the blog and have many entries to make including Windwarior Australia Tour, Skiing in Åre Sweden, Ice Hotel in Lillehammer etc. For now I will put up a couple of Photos from my house warming party that was held a few weeks back (called a Inflyttningsfest). Had a bout 30 people over for the evening and turned out to be a great night ending around 0400 am. I will let the phoos tell the rest of the story.

Words from a poor man

Hello all,

Well an exciting morning and I have bought a house in Stavanger. The suburd is called Våland and I will be living just around the corner from Emma and Joel, which will be great for the occasional dinner. Finding it a little hard to work today feeling a combination between sick and excited. Here is a grand tour of the house.

This is the lounge room, door opens to the deck in the bottom right corner

Viewing from the yard back up to the house, I am the first floor and the cellar

Here is the mamoth kitchen that you could cook up a storm for a whole cricket team (or more appropriatly a Ice Hockey Team)

The Bedroom which is pretty small but the living spaces are huge.

The entrance hall, the left is the lounge and the right is the kitchen

The entrance again looking towards the bedroom and bathroom

The Bath room which is very new.

Another shot of the kitchen

From the lounge looking onto the living and kitchen space, The door leads onto the deck.

The living space, looking from the kitchen.

The living space again and the kitchen to the right.

And to enjoy the sun when it is out is the deck

And looking back up towards the house from the yard.

I also have the cellar which is approximately the size of the house again below for bikes etc. Move in on the 1st of febuary so looking forward to then for the house warming.

Cheers
Ryan
