Corn Bread and Oslo Winter Park ..Holmenkollen 2018

13th September
The caravan filled with the Aroma of fresh bread and Coffee.
Since Denmark we have varied our normal fruit and Museli breakfast this is fun and taste great.😊
Simon did his thing with the dough and made corn bread againπŸ˜‹
Fresh corn bread with butter ..amazing πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹
Kathie loves her plain bread with butter and strawberry Jam..Hmmm😊


We did a bit of broad planning for the next 4 weeks so that we can see ourselves in Stockholm meeting Chantell and Simon. I think I need to create a map page with places we have been and where we plan to go. The plan is to head west toward Bergen with a couple of stops and store the Caravan there for  aweek or so while we drive by car North . Basically the roads are so Narrow and winding that towing the caravan through these roads is a real Pain.. so lets do it a bit easier.

After a lovely lunch of whatever is in the fridge with Fresh bread and coffee.
These days we make Coffee the danish way a big thermos of filter coffee in the morning, and any time we want a coffee during the day it is already made..and tastes greatπŸ˜‰ One of my delicacies is Curried Herrings in a bottle.

Off up to the ski jump area which is on the hill just above our camp ground.
I feel as excited as Eddie the Eagle.😊😊

The Atmosphere is incredible , There is a train which climbs to a station nearby and I can imagine it discharging thousands skiiers and spectators  heavily wrapped against the cold ...onto the snow clad paths to the ski fields ..
There are about 10 cross country ski fields to be enjoyed here
 There is a beautiful Restaurant nearby with fantastic views over Oslo and the Fjords around 
I would love to return  here when snow is on the ground πŸ˜€

Holmenkollen ski jump built in 2010 filled with spectators would be incredible
Beside the ski jum is a Biathlon training centre they ski for about 3 km around an up and downhill track and shoot targets ..about 50 m away ..target is only 110 mm dia so you have to be fit and steady.. its very popular here



Turn The corner and

over the top of the hill

round the corner

and fire off 3 rounds


The Young lady repeated this cycle for about 3 times while we watched captivated by the enthusiasm and energy they put in
