Friday afternoon Anna and some of our friends from the recue team drove up to Akureyri, North Iceland to go skiing. There is almost no snow in Reykjavik and tons in Akureyri. It is a very long drive on winter conditions. It is 380 km but it took us seven hours with breaks to get there on slippery roads. We had rented an appartment down-town for the cheap price of 9000 IS. Saturday and some hours of Sunday was spent in the ski resort of Akureyri. The snow conditions were perfect and we had great weather with temperatures between +2 and -8 and absolutely no wind. We ended both days by going to the swimming-pool to loosen up sore muscles and relax. Saturday we had a big dinner with lamb legs and a good desert of, ice-cream, bananas, strawberries and cream. Anna and I met one of Annas friends on a coffee-house before driving home to Reykjavik, which took 6 hrs 20 min including stops.

Ah, skiing - been a long time except for minor x-c. Bum knee - lots of trips from DLRH to the main road in MV days, though, with those old Kandahar bindings with leather toe straps that could go from x-c to downhill...
