Left Essti now heading West

Well last weekend in eesti was full of packing and sorting out which stuff to take and what to not. Pirets Dad came home on friday during Pirets High school reunion thing. It was kinda boring for me so kinda left them to it and watched Tv inside. Saturday the lawn mower kinda broke again so FINALLY they went and got a new one its wider than the old lawnmower by 100mm which is quite a bit and it also has some system that assist you to push it so when u move it forward it keeps rolling making it need no effect to push it around the lawns!!! so im still uncertain as to why they left it to the last day i was in eesti to buy it maybe it was some sort of test useing some shitty old broken lawnmower who knows!!!! So we left eesti at 1pm and flew from there to Olso in Norway, where we had to wait 4hrs in the airport intill the bus came which was to take us to Oringen. For those that dont know Oringen is the biggest oing event in world.
This year they have over 27000 people entered which when u think about it is a rather lot to have running through the forest!!! they have booked out over 3 Ski villages and still didn't have enough room so had to book out a few more!!! they also have busses going to to all the places and back to event center, Busses from each village out to the event there would be about 4 buses leaving every 5min from every village. they set up new shops for us!! the Organization is amazing would be so hard to try and get everything working together.
Anyways back to the bus ride, whilst waiting in the airport i was walking around to try and fill in time them randomly meet a NZ girl and turns out she was in charge of the Oringen bus which we were about to catch so that was kinda random. We stopped for dinner half way which was still in norway, Piret and i both got hamburgers pretty shit ones at that too cost over 50nz man norway is crazy expensive!!!! glad we didnt stay in Norway at all!!!

We arrived at our Hotel at 11.30pm then had to try and find our room which was kinda fun cos the office was shut luckily they left the keys in the letterbox!!! We are staying in this wicked Hotel right at the foot of the ski slopes. Our room has one double bed and then two bunks. Has Playstation 2 and also dishwasher so thats a added bonus. From our window we can see the Event center and all the sports shops that they had built for Origen so lucky for us we are smack bang in the middle of it all!!! Normally Oringen is kinda close together like where everybody stays normally they have a MASSIVE tent city but this year most stay in Houses so its way more spread out!!! which makes it feel not so big!!!
Yesterday we went out to a Model map was quite fun way different to other swedish maps i have run on in the past and i found it a bit easier than normal which is good thing!!! We spent the afternoon looking around all the shops buy a few things so credit card took a beating!!! Im staying with the eesti team and the Nz team have a room one floor above us so thats kinda handy. Nz has 3 men running so Ross and Micheal adams and me, They also have a few tag alongs in there room with Micheal parents and then Todd and martin so its kinda full lucky for me in my room we only have Piret, liis and annika so have a bit of room!!!
This Morning Ross piret and i went on the map of the ski slope above our hotel was a bit of a climb getting to the top of hill but once up there was ok. Now we just relax in till sprint tonight. Hopefully will report back some time soon to tell you how its all going!!
