Easter

Last night I returned home after a terrific easter holiday. I had divided my break into two parts, spending half of if up north in Troms, and the rest in Røros. Both idyllic spots for enjoying lazy days in the sun with skiing, good food, cold beer and good company.

In Troms there was beautiful weather all week long and I got to hang out with my family, and in particular my nephews. Sliding downhill, roasting hot dogs on an open fire in the mountains, eating ungodly amounts of candy and of course skiing. My nephews are actually far better skiers than I am. Here is the youngest one, who is an absolute pro. Until there is a slight turn...


While in Røros I took a trip into town. I've been there before and I enjoy walking around in the streets. It is a small town with just over 5,000 people, and it is actually on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list for its authentic old wooden buildings and history. There are plenty of odd shops, cafes, museums and stores that show the history of its industry, mainly coal mining, which has lasted for over a hundred years. It is a lovely place.
