Easter weekend coming up
Friday, April 10th, 2009Our friends Laurens and Mariska are visiting our Norwegian paradise this Easter weekend.
Laurens is an ex-colleague, who I really got to know when we went to Sierra Leone in 2004…an amazing trip, with a lot of hard work, and luckily still some time to explore the nightlife in Freetown. I wouldn’t mind going back there one day, good memories!
Spa & Sauna
Thursday, April 9th, 2009What better than to start the Easter holiday with a two-day visit to a Spa center? It’s an early surprise gift for my Birthday (two weeks from now)…I’m out; enjoying & relaxing!
Easter holidays
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009And…it’s time for vacation again, yay!
That is the best thing about taking a week off just before the Easter holiday week; I came back in an empty office, allowing me to catch up (both on work and on sleep 😉 ), and after only three days of work it’s now time to relax again…Easter holiday starts early in Norway; the country will be officially closed from tomorrow! 😉
Life’s good, eh? (although I have to admit, I *LOVE* my job, so it won’t be too much of a problem to go back to work coming Tuesday!)
Sushi & Karaoke
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009It’s sushi and karaoke night tonight at Willy & Katka’s place!
It will be great, as I know that the selfmade sushi (see below) will be DELICIOUS and with my stunning vocal pipes the evening will be funFunFUN! (hehe, I remember my straight win with Abba Singstar at the New Years party 😉 )
QOTD April 6 2009
Monday, April 6th, 2009Herbert W. Boyer: “Wonder is what sets us apart from other life forms. No other species wonders about the meaning of existence or the complexity of the universe or themselves.”
Back home
Sunday, April 5th, 2009It’s always good to be back home, even though I would have loved to stay longer in Trysil with this amazing group of friends…thx dudes & dudettes for a more than PERFECT week!
The proof of all the fun is in the pictures and trust me, they are all great…all, uhh, 1872 of them!! Sjeez, how many pictures can one take in a week? Organizing them will keep me busy for another week, ha! 😉
Last day skiing
Saturday, April 4th, 2009Time flies when you’re having fun; today was already the last day on the slopes… 🙁
Fantastic weather and some nice runs to end a perfect week with friends! Most of us were a bit quiet today compared to the other days, I guess we were still suffering from the party last night. (which finished around 6am…rock on! 😉 )
After-ski
Friday, April 3rd, 2009Some days the sun gets in the way of boarding and you just have to party ‘Norwegian style’; an after-ski party….it has been a long time since I’ve seen people party like this, GREAT!! Life’s grand… 😉
10 year wedding anniversary
Thursday, April 2nd, 2009Muriel and Marko celebrated their 10 year wedding anniversary with the other 12 happy Trysil dutchheads yesterday.
Kristel and I were masters of ceremony at their wedding a decade ago, so it was quite special to celebrate their 10th together again in Trysil. We made the day unforgetable, a sun-heavy day with the incredible dog sled trip and a nice dinner with my famous homemade semi-freddo to end it.
Most of us didn’t want to end the day and went to bed around 5am, a slow morning followed…;)
Dog sled riding
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009Everyday is a special day here in Trysil, and today was no different; we went dog sled riding…an AWESOME experience!!
It’s amazing to see these sled dogs being able to take two adults with high speed through the snowy lands, bringing us to parts of the mountains where no one has ever been before…well, today at least! 😉
