Let it snow, let it snow


Since I've been back from Rjukan we have had plenty of snow, which makes sledding 'interesting' and gives you a nice snow face pack.  

Between flurries and dashing after the needs of tourists, I took a few shots of the place, some taken from the back of the sled (my passengers snug in their reindeer skins and blissfully unaware!).  Guiding is fun, but hours here are long and ardous. We seem to work 15 h days - not easy.  But hey, it is Norway In Winter.  A great place to be, knackered out or not!



Tromso in the far distance, beyond this team (photo above: click on the image to see it!). 

The drive home...

Hey Helen,

It's Marc (the Canadian you worked with in Tromso) I somehow randomly found this site. Nice pics. Do you have any others from our days at the Villmarkssenter? If you do could you send them to cram94@yahoo.com. It seems like you are still living an adventure. Looks good.

I hope all is well.

Regards,

Marc
