Påsken [póskn] - Velka Noc - The Easter

Appelsin og Kvikklunsj [aplzín o kviklünš] - pomaranc a kvikklunsj. Bez tychto dvoch veci Nor na turu pocas Velkej Noci ani nejde. V Norsku je Velka noc spojena hlavne s lyzovackou a bezkovanim. A pomaranc a tieto cokoladove keksy su od velkonocnych sviatkov neodlucitelne rovnako ako zajace :-P. Tento tyzden ubehol hrozne rychlo a bolo toho vela, co sa udialo. Pondelok zacali prazdniny krasnym slnecnim pocasim. Najprv sme s Johnom a Atlem stahovali sedacku. Jedna isla k Evinej sestre a jednu z dolneho poschodia sme premiestnili hore. Takze mame teraz o sedacku menej a uvazuju o kupe novej. Okolo obeda ma John odviezol ku golfovemu ihrisku, kde zacina bezkarska trat. Za krasneho slnecneho pocasia som si odbezkoval 25 km a zviezol som sa s Evou domov, ked isla z prace. V utorok som siel s Linusom na lyze. Isiel som s Evou do prace, takze som musel hodinku cakat, kym sa spustia vleky. Ale oplatilo sa privstat. Slniecko, cerstvo upravene zjazdovky. Najprv sme isli lyzovat v Høgegge, kde su najlepsie zjazdovky. Nebolo vela ludi, takze sme si to mohli pustit celkom rychlo dole kopcom - uzasna lyzovacka. Snowboard je oproti lyziam velmi nudny - obrovsky rozdiel. Potom sme este lyzovali na roznych castiach hory a okolo 3tej som skoncil, aby som stihol odvoz domov. V stredu ma John vyviezol do Fageråsenu, kde som sa mal stretnut s jednym clovekom, co ma na starosti upratovanie chat. Dalo by sa este privyrobit nejake peniaze, kym som tu. Povedal mi, ze sa mam zastavit v sobotu a potom mi povie kedy by som mohol upratovat. Nakoniec vsak z toho nic nebolo, lebo Eva ma upozornila na to, ze si musim zistit info ohladne odvadzania dani a potom som si este uvedomil, ze by som potreboval aj pracovne povolenie od policie. A zaplatit 1000 NOK za pracovne povolenie a pracovat mozno iba dalsie 3-4 tyzdne, to nie je zrovna financne vyhodne. Po stretnuti som siel na bezky.


Zo zaciatku bolo dost zle pocasie, ale potom sa vycasilo ... a opat zamracilo. Ku koncu zacalo tak snezit a fukat, ze som bol cely zasnezeny. Z Fageråsenu som najprv siel okolo Skurufjelletu, taky maly kopcek vedla Trysilfjelletu. Ked je pekne pocasie, tak si ludia na bezky beru aj lopatu, ktorou si vyhlbia sedacky do snehu, a kotlik + jedlo, takze si mozu navarit nieco teple. A takto tam sedia, jedia a opaluju sa. Takze bezkovanie nie je len o tom aby clovek presiel co najviac kilometrov, ale tura na bezkach sa moze ponat aj takymto sposobom. Opat som sa s Evou zviezol domov. Vecer sme vyzdvihli Linusa a Eva nas potom zaviezla asi 30 km severne do Vidsynu, kde bola velkonocna party. Tam sme sa stretli s dalsimi spoluziakmi a spoluziackami a zabavali sa asi do 1 rano. A zistil som ze predsa len nemam rad tancovanie a dobrovolne na parket nejdem :-D. Asi to zavisi od momentalnej nalady... Naspat sme asi 12 isli taxikom. Je to fajn, ze tu maju specialne ponuky pre mladez, ked ste aspon traja, tak kazdy zaplati iba 50 korun a odvezu vas aj 30 km ako napriklad v tomto pripade. Na druhy den som siel na snowboard.


Takto to vyzera cez Velku Noc. Kopa ludi. Nastastie sa to rozplizne po celom areali, takze na vlek sa necaka dlho, niekedy vobec, niekedy max. 3-4 min.. Tak som si zasnowboardoval zo 5 hodin a siel domov. Vecer mala kamaratka Ane naroneninovu oslavu.

Boli sme asi 10. Elise napiekla brownies, ktore ale celkom nestuhli, takze sme to pouzili ako omacku ku boller (neviem ako sa to povie po slovensky, su to tie gulky na na tacke na fotke). Kusok pred 11 som siel domov. John s Evou mali navstevu a zabavali sa na starych videach, kde boli nahrate stare divadelne predstavenia o Trysilcanoch. Piatok bolo dost zle pocasie, takze som nesiel lyzovat (vynimocne:-P). S Johnom a Atlem sme isli k Engersjøen - jazeru asi 30 minut jazdy severne. Tam byvali pred tym, nez sa prestahovali blizsie ku centru. Je to uplne Bohom zabudnute miesto. John:,, No, tu nalavo je kulturny dom, tu napravo potraviny, a to by bolo tak asi vsetko " :-D. Den predtym boli na jazere, kde do ladu zapichli take pseudoudice a lanko s hacikom bolo pod ladom. Takze na druhy den sme prisli uz iba vybrat ryby. Bol tam asi 40 cm hruby lad, takze prepadnut sa nedalo. Dve udice sa nam nepodarilo vytiahnut v celku - lanko sa pretrhlo, ale na jednej sme mali krasneho velkeho pstruha. Atle ho doma vypytval - nastastie nebolo tolko krvi ako ked som kupoval vianocneho pstruha - a uz lezi v mraznicke:-P. Vecer sme boli pozvani na veceru k Johnovej mame - mali sme polievku:-D. Vybornu. A potom kopu kolacov, takze som skoncil s plnym bruchom. Vecer boli v TV Gangy New Yorku a potom som siel spat. Na druhy den bol Påskerennet - velkonocny zavod. Je to kazdorocna tradicia - take rodinno-kamaratske stretnutie. Vzdy sa zidu cez Velku Noc tri rodiny - Strand,Rustad a Holt niekde na chate v Trysile - tento rok to bolo o Johnovej sestry Anne - sutazi sa a potom opeka. Boli sme rozdeleny do 5 timov. Isli sme na bezkach asi 1,5 km dlhu trat a tam sme mali rozne stanoviska. Na prvom sme mali 15 obrazkov znamich osobnosti a mali sme napisat, kdo to je. Na druhom sme si mali vybrat otazky z oblasti sportu, ludskeho tela alebo novin a odpovedat na ne. Na tretom stanovisku sme mali zalozit ohen a na stvrtom uhadnut umelca a skladbu podla pocutia. Skoncili sme nakoniec na druhom mieste. Po navrate sme opekali. Tu som ja s Johnovou mamou Johanne a nad nami Magnus, Johannin synovec :-P


Vecer bola stretavka Nordnesovcov:-P. U Evinej sestry sa zisli jej druha sestra s manzelom aj jej brat s manzelkou. Bola sranda cely vecer, som ani nevedel ze maju taku zabavnu rodinu. Zase po styroch poharikoch nejakeho likeru samozrejme ze boli zabavni:-P Nemohli sme sa prestat smiat kym sme neodisli. Na druhy den som siel lyzovat. Nadherne slnecne pocasie, len troska chladno. Ale super svahy. Som bol skoro cely den iba v Høgegge. Po veceri som si pozrel Chelsea - Arsenal a potom konecne dokoncil ulohu z francuzstiny.
Dufam, ze sa vam moj påskespecial pacil a vela stastia zajtra pri sibani:-P


Appelsin og Kvikklunsj [aplseen o quicklünsh] - orange and kvikklunsj. You can not find a Norwegian on a cross-country trip without these two things. In Norway the Easter equals skiing and cross-country skiing. And Easter and orange and these chocolate biscuits are as inseparable as Easter and hare :-P. This week went really fast and there were many things that happened. Holiday started on Monday with beautiful sunny weather. John,Atle and me moved one of our sofas to Eva's sister and the other one went upstairs. So now we have one sofa less and have to buy a new one. Around 12:00, John drove me to the golf course, where the cross-country track begins. I went 25 km in gorgeous weather and then I waited until Eva finished at work. On Tuesday I went skiing together with Linus. I went a bit earlier together with Eva, so I had to wait til the lifts started. But standing up early was worth of it. Freshly prepared slopes, sun. We began skiing in Høgegga - the best slopes are there. There were not many people there so we could enjoy the speed. Snowboard is quite dull in comparison to ski, I suppose:-D. Then we skied in the different parts of the mountain and around 3 pm I went home with Eva, who finished working. On Wednesday, John drove me to Fageråsen. I had to meet one guy who is responsible for cleaning the cabins. I wanted to get a job there. He told me to come on Saturday because he did not know when could I work. But in the end it was nothing from it. Eva told me that I should find out about tax rules for me and then I also found out that I would need a working permission from the police. And paying 1000 NOK for permission and then working only 3-4 weeks, I think I would end up in red numbers:-P. After the meeting I went cross-country skiing.


In the beginning the weather was very bad but it became better after a while ... but then got worse again. In the end it was snowing ant the wind was blowing, so I was covered in snow. From the Fageråsen I went round the Skurufjellet - a little mountain by the Trysilfjellet. When the weather is nice, people take with them also a shovel and make some seats from the snow. And also a cauldron + meal so they can cook something warm. And they just sit, eat and sunbathe. So cross-country skiing is not only about going many many kilometres but you can make it also in this way. Eva drove me home when she finished at work. In the evening we picked up Linus and Eva gave us a lift to Vidsyn - 30 km north from Trysil. There was an Easter party there. I met there with other classmates and we were chatting and dancing until 1 am. Then we took taxi home. It is great that they have a special offer for the youth. If there are more than 3 people, everybody pays 50 NOK regardless of distance. I went snowboarding the next day.

This is how it looks like in Trysil during the Easter. Loads of people. Fortunately there are many lifts so you do not usually have to wait for a long time - sometimes not at all, sometimes max. 3-4 minutes... So I was snowboarding for about 5 hours and then went home. In the evening, my friend Ane had a birthday party and I was invited.


We were cca. 10 people. Elisa baked brownies but she did not succeed completely so we used them as a sauce to sweet buns. I went home before 23:00. John and Eva had a visit and were watching old VHSs with funny theatre plays about some persons from Trysil. I could not get a joke because I do not know those people. On Friday the weather was really bad so I did not went skiing (exceptionally:-P). I went with John and Atle to Engersjøen - a lake 30 minutes away. They used to live there before they moved closer to the city centre. It is a God-abandoned place. John:"Well, to the left, there is a cultural house and here is the grocery store. And that is actually everything." :-D. The day before they were here to stick some special fishing poles in the ice with hook under the ice and today we went to pick up the fish. The thread broke twice but we managed to pull out one pole and there was a nice big trout hanging from the hook. Atle gutted it and now it is resting in the freezer :-D. In the evening we were invited to John's mom Johanne for a dinner. We had a delicious soup and many cakes so my belly was really full when we came home. In the evening we watched The gangs of New York and then I went to sleep. On Saturday we had Påskerennet - Easter race. It is an annual tradition - kind of family-friend meeting. Each year during the Easter holidays the families of Strand, Holt and Rustad meet at a cottage in Trysil - this time by John's sister Anne - and we compete and grill. We were divided into 5 teams. We were cross-country skiing. The track was maybe 1,5 km long with 4 stops. At the 1. post we had to write down the names of people in the pictures. On the 2. post we could choose between questions from sport, human body or news and then answer the questions. On the 3. we had to set up a fire and on the fourth find out the artist and the name of song which was played to us. We were the runner-ups. We grilled when we came back. Here I am with Johns mom Johanne and her cousin Magnus :-P

In the evening we went to visit Eva's sister Marit with her husband. Also her another sister and her brother came with their spouses. It was a really funny evening and we could not stop laughing. The next day I went skiing. Lovely weather, lovely slopes, enjoying the sun and speed. Aftter I ate the dinner I watched Chelsea - Arsenal and then eventaully finished my French homework about the history of France after 1789.
I hope you liked my special påskereport:-D Have a successful following week.
