I can has holiday (but not yet)

[nineveh_uk]

It is, however, in only 6 and a half-weeks time, which is terrifyingly close for the end of term and last week of March. I had better get to the gym.* It is skiing, Norway, and I shall be breaking exciting new ground in seeing the E6 road from the train, rather than the railway line from the E6, because I am getting myself to the hotel independently rather than having someone else do all the organising. This feels a lot more adventurous when it is 300km in Norway in winter than continental Europe in the summer even though it isn't in actual fact, despite the fact that I've been to the hotel itself before. I am even being sufficiently grown up that I am paying an extra £25 for the week to have a room with an Amazing View. With a view like this, it seems money worth spending.

(The picture is on LJ again. I must look up how to put them on DW.)

Possibly I should put it on my work computer desktop as an incentive to survive the term.

*I won't get to the gym.

The green is a lot of trees - March, so the snow had melted off them with a couple of sunny days. The skiing industry in the Alps seems to be having a very tough time this year, rather too many strips of artificial white across brown fields. I know these things are a bit cyclical, but it must be worrying people. Scandinavia had a late start, but there is now plenty of the white stuff about.

Compared to the usual Norwegian 3 - 4 hours in a coach, the train promises to be idyllic. Though as unlike the coach it won't wait for me if the plane is late, I chose to travel on the day when there is a later one in case I miss it...
