road trip to the mountains...

at 0500 hours we were up and ready to go to the mountains.........
(as if!!!, truthfully, we were awake and disorientated............... thank god i don't know how to drive, i think roads are much safer that way!!!) ...................

before i forget again 'tack sa jatte mycket isak' for lending me your goggles!!!
they did come in handy and i saved my precious face from pre-mature aging caused by the harmful UV rays as well as from getting sun burned too!!! i know i looked stupid with the goggles and the scarf over my face but at least i was protected!!!

1. in the morning...........





(and no this is not the razorlight music video!!! this is us in the car on our way................. you can't see it but there was a snowboard lodge inbetween me and isak so it was a comfortable journey indeed!!!)

2. the wait................

(waiting for the ferry since we arrived at the port quite early but a good thing at that, becuse it meant i had the opportunity to take 'sea view morning sunrise' pictures and to also get stuck on the rocks!!! whatever happens just save my camera!!!)

3. on the ferry................

(i can offer no explanation as to why i said i am inside when its quite clear that i am outside............. sleepy i guess)





4. first stop for rocks (p).........
(its strange how you can find beautiful views anywhere in norway, even on a layby on the motorway............ the pictures show a very good 'mirrored image' in the lake that if i had it upside-down it would still look the same.................. kool)

13. riding the chair lift.................





14. at the top of the mountains ..........





(i had never riden on a chair lift thingy before so excuse the childlike bewilderment!!!............. and i have never been at the top of a mountain before so again i was taking pictures and making silly vids :-p...... but i guess thats just me........... simple minded!!! and the only reason that i got to go up was because the lifts were free that day!!! believe it or not BUT it was the '30th anniversay' or something so thats why no one had to pay!!! that was lucky or else i wouldn't have gone up!!!)

15. the snowboarders.............













(utter irrelevance but i am not HELPLESS!!!............now the thing was............ at the end of the snowboarding , i had to try to get back down again and when i walked back to the lifts they wouldn't let me go back down them because of safety issues..................... so poor oskar had to escort me back down by walking!!! i felt sori for you BUT if you had abandoned me and made me walk back by myself i would have been 'pissed off', so tack sa mycket!!! it was not easy going back down because the snow was deep and also it was suprisingly slippery!!! but good thing i had something to errrrrr give me support???)

17. the perfect ending to the trip ........









(there was a really funny video that involved a conversation about 'skit' in the car but i hand to put it on private because the guys were embarassed by it :-p, i just thought it was funny!!! but i have a sick sense of humour!!! and yes....... thanks to isak we managed to get the memory card out of the laptop............ its a man's job!!!)

actually i set it on public now so you can watch the skit video... :-p
