There's a lot more green than I expected. No snow as we landed in Oslo :( and also the predominant colour is grey - the sky in particular. It's dark and it's 3:30pm. It's also very Christmassy feeling. The airport had Christmas decorations and there are Christmas trees growing everywhere!!
Got to the arrivals and no one to meet me :( they were getting the cars! Felt a little lonely but I soon got rescued and was reunited with the girls and coaches :)
It's not too cold. About 1degree Celsius! Positively warm ha but I do have about 4 layers on and a huge scarf/rug. Luckily I'm not driving the cars to Lillehammer which is about 2 hours away. We worked out the sat nav, how to get out of the car park, what side of the road to drive on etc and we were off.
There's an element of tension and anticipation amongst the team. More so than Bath. It feels different, like every man for themselves. Not in a negative way. It's just a feeling and it's true anyway. This is crunch time. Not all of us are going through.
We've moved in. We are staying in lovely albeit small log cabins. I'm sharing with four others; 3 of whom are in the same room - cosy. Dinner not so great. A strange creamy sauce with some frankfurters in, chips and salad... Seconds consisted of hot dogs. Not quite the nutritious meal I'd hoped for. The GB Europa cup and ICC teams are here racing. It was so intimidating walking in with them all sat there. Such newbies!!
After a helmet fitting (!) we were done for the day. So we've just been chilling (I've actually unpacked). Chat has inevitably led to boys and Alice shared this gem which has become my quote of the day...
'He put his hand on my leg and it was so massive I was like oh my god this is amazing' LOL
And on that note, goodnight x
