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.

I think £25 is a small price to pay for an Amazing View.

"Only" six and a half weeks still feels rather like an eternity some days.

One day, I shall have a holiday. (Yes, the view is money well-spent.)

I'd pay £25 for that view.

Is all that green indicative of a shortage of snow or just a lot of trees? We've had a very snowless year here (yet again - I'm not sure how the skiing industry is going to survive if the pattern continues).

I'm sure having a Norse adventure to look forward to will make the 6.5 weeks fly past, and train journeys are far more enjoyable than coaches. I'm jealous!

How far north are you going? I went overnight by train from Oslo to Trondheim years ago, never quite asleep and never quite awake, so all I really learnt was that there is a *lot* of Mjøsa, and then still a lot of everywhere else. It could be interesting to do while awake!

This looks like great fun! I tend to think of skiing in Norway as being on the flat, rather than downhill. Is that right?

Hurray for forthcoming holidays! :-)
