It has been about 2 weeks since i last post.
I came back from Norway-Oslo this afternoon. The plane landed at 12.15pm and the duration of the flight is less than 2hs! I had an adventurous 3 nights stay at the snow cabin. This is how it happens:
The First Day:
My mother's boss drove us from the airport to the snow carbin. The journey is 3hs! (so long!) I slept a lot on the car and my youger brother vommitted at the car! It was snowing at that time and that it was very misty, making this journey diffcult. When we arrived at the snow carbin, my mother's boss show us everything and she left. We settled everything and went out to play snow. We played snowball and decided to make a snowman. After a few mins, my father ask the 3 of us to go in and have dinner. After which, our father helped us in drying the things that are wet from the snow that we played earlier on. While my older brother washed the dishes and my sister and i helped in drying the dishes. As for my mother, i did not notice. (Opps!) After everything, we sat down to watch television.
The Second day:
It has stopped snowing by the time we wake up and it was misty outside. We had waffles and hard-boiled eggs for our breakfast. After which, we went to the Thorn Hotel to looking for taxi and buses to take us to the airport. After everything is planned, we walked back. The distance is neither too near nor too far. After we had our lunch, we went out to play with the snow. This time, my brother and i make a slide. We were sweating and exhausted. After making the slide, we took out boards and we played with my whole family including my parents and my younger brother! Then, we went in to have lunch. After which, we went back out to play in the snow. After playing out in the snow for the second time, we went in to have our dinner and do our routine.
The third day:
As usual, it was snowing. But for today, the sky is clear. We had our breakfast as usual and went out to play. Then, we came back for lunch and we went to the skiing area to ski. My parents and my elder brother ski, taking turns because the rental only starts on 1 dec and we only have 1 pair. We brought another smaller pair to the ski area thinking that my sister could fit on it, but it couldn't. My father bought a ticket for an adult and a child, thinking that my sister could fit in the shoe, but she couldn't. So we wasted the ticket. After 1h, we went back to our cabin as our hands and feets are cold and afraid that we might get frost bite. We went back to have our dinner.
The fourth day:
We wake up at 5:30am in the morining to get ready to leave Oslo and return to Holland-Amsterdam. We took a taxi and alight at a bus-stop where there is no shelter or anything. The bus driver was kind and drove us to another bus-stop free-of-charge for the rest of the journey to another bus-stop. But my father still paid him some extra money. We alight and walk to the only shop that poens so early and have our breakfast there. Just as my mother is going to the toilet, she saw the bus came and my father, brother and i went to the bus-stop and load all our bags. My father said wait for another two and after my father left, the bus drove off even though the time is not up yet! My brother and i were panic-striken and i told my brother to tell the bus drive about it. The bus driver told my brother that they will have to wait for another bus. My brother told the bus driver to let us down now but he don't allow! When we are at the next stop, we wanted to alight, but we dont know how to walk back. So we continue sitting and ask passengers on bus to ent us a cell phone. None of them lent it to us and we dont know where to alight so we need to call our parents! When we reached the railway station which was athe last stop, everyone gets down and so do us. We took down all the bags from the bus and went to borrow a cell phone. At last someone willing to lent it to us. After which, we waited for our parents. At the airport, something went wrong and we took a long time to solve it. After which, everyone is safe and sound and we came back together.
It was lucky that my brother was with me. If not, i do not know what to do. I must really thank him for saving me.
The incident that happened on the 2nd night:
As for this time, my father said that he does not want to help us to dry our things as it is tiring for him. So, we did it ourslf. As for my sister, who was watching television non-stop, my elder brothet help her in drying her boots and told her that she need to come and turn the shoe for every 5 mins until it is dry. My sister said "Yes" and she continue watching the television and totally forgotten about it. After my brother had done his and i had done mine, we went to watch television. When my brother wanted to put more logs inside to keep the fire buring, he took off my sister's shoe as it was on the door the funnel. It was extremely and and my brother throw it on the floor. He saw my sister's boots burnt and have a big hole. He quickly went to look for my sister who was atill watching television and told her about it. After which, she sat down and cry. Luckily, at the cabin, has my mother's boss's son's boots and ,my father ask her to wear if it fit.
Thats all for the trip:)
