Tuesday September 2nd

Mixed day
Tina had to start work today at 3pm. So we had a bit of a sleep in and left at 10am for the mountain again. Plan was to hire sledges and go down some hills. *gg* And we did! I haven’t done that for about 15 years now. Much much fun!!! Neither of us knew how to steer it so we just learnt by try and error. *gg* I had a lot of error in it. =P I managed to go against the wall about 5 times in a row. =P Everytime it would push me out of the sledge so I was sitting in the snow, laughing my ass off. At least I was sitting on my ass all the time…Tina managed to stop laying on her belly, snow in her face. =P
After that we got a lot better. We still would not go down in straight line but more in a zigzag as if drunk but we didn’t fall out anymore. =D One of the older people who were there with grandchildren said „oh watch out, the big kids are having a go now“ when Tina and I got up the hill again. And that’s how I felt like…just a big kid. =P (We just forget about the fact that Tina and I are both closer to 30 than to 20, okay? At least she will hit it two years before me. =P)
The weather was kinda patchy, cloudy indeed with some sun every now and then. So we forgot to put on sunscreen. Big mistake for me. =S My face is burning…
We got back, being soaked with melted snow. And quite sweaty. =P So I hopped under the shower…or intended to. It didn’t work. Quite unpleasant really. But they fixed it so it’s all good. The next thing…my boots are soaked. They’re the only shoes that I brought. *lol* I hope they’ll be dry again tomorrow as I run around in Tina’s jandels right now…being rather cold but feeling like a real kiwi. =P
Afternoon was nice and relaxed for me. Wrote postcards, caught up on my diary, read more in my book, listened to music. But I missed two things: chocolate and the internet. =S My two admitted addiction. It’s really hard to go without them…=S So I try not to concentrate on not having them at the moment. Which doesn’t seem to work but that doesn’t stop me from trying.P.S.: Tina is teh awesomeness. She organized some chocolate for me, got dial-up internet for use and gave me a panorama poster of the three mountains in national park. =) *hugs for Tina*
