2.5.hours.out in the snow. We started in fog and finished in the sun.

I had an awful night. Thought I was coming down with a great fever. Late dinner, hot hotel, chronic fatigue, too much coffee?

Anyway. I skied. The first wee bit felt so difficult but after two hours, yippee. Up hills. Whoosh downhills. Don't tell J!

Now resting. Did a bit yoga. Might go for a wander outside.

Cardamom bun time

Good wander around Lillehammer. Didn't make it up to Olympic Park. Saw the ski jumps from afar. No photo though.

Prepping myself for stupid long bus trip to Venabu Fjellhotel.

Just me in .y wee room. It's nice and cool. I have a view of the railway. Tomorrow morning I will be up for breakfast and out to the shops. Ski shops! Cinnamon bun shops! And maybe if I'm lucky I can find a tomte and possibly a pair of earrings.

I had a huge salad for tea. Lovely fresh and not too heavy. Couldn't face the bean stew. Others were tucking into meatballs. Jnwould.love the menu. I bet he would have chosen the moose stew.

R and I sat at the veggie end of the table.

I think it's windy out. As there is a gusty sound or it's Aircon. My ears are singing. I'm tired.

View from train. Snow and treesBaca lagi

Pengembara PS I went to the shop that sponsored my room. Gosh. The national costumes were gorgeous. The other things were so amazing, but pricey. I want a wooden cup...

Oslo Airport

An early start to avoid rush hour and angst. Had so much time at airport. Breakfast and meeting up with the other club members.

Flight was delayed slightly but not enough to ruin our plan of catching an earlier train to Lillehammer.

Flight was smooth. But hot. My sinuses dried up like on a long haul. Not to worry did some meditation. Which helped. Glad I ordered the stupidly expensive flight meal. Tasty and keeping me going until we arrive.

11 hours on the go.

Lots and lots of snow.Baca lagi

Edam, no cheese
18 November 2023, Belanda ⋅ 🌧 8 °C
Today we headed north to Edam. We got lost several times. Honestly, 2 geographers in the car, SatNav and Google maps, what a pair!

Anyhoo,.got there in pouring rain. Found the chocolate shop and bought treats for later. Had a nice lunch of dark bread an old Gouda and 2 cups of coffee. Good coffee at last. Then a wee wander. We found an amazing flower and plant shop. It was so beautiful and sparkly we could have spent a fortune on lovely and unusual ceramic pots. Instead, I bought E a sweet iridescent hydrangea candle holder and she bought me a pomegranate one. Birthday gift swap!

We then headed home, picked up vlai... At last! For tea with the girls. However trains are.up the spout so will see them tomorrow instead. Took dogs for a walk in the woods in the dark in the rain. Paths! No wet feet thankfully.

Time for prosecco snacks Nd a very long chat of sad, mad and hilarious times. Plus amazing samosas. I can't believe the tasty food here.Baca lagi

Utrecht

Crashed for 2 hours in the morning. So tired . Gorgeous walk in the woods in the afternyand then a short train ride into Utrecht for food.

We went to Gys a vegan restaurant. Best food in ages. Pilsner, now that's been a while. We did however turn up at the wrong restaurant. There are 2. Fortunately there was a table to spare so we didn't have to trog 30 mins in opposite direction.

Utrecht is lovely. A student town with no tourists. Just me.Baca lagi
