Calvin Gillian didn’t believe that Norway was the place for an adventurous (惊险的) holiday.
However, his brother and some friends told him to go there and he enjoyed it.
“I’m an extreme sports ( 极限运动) lover. I have traveled to many different countries, but I didn’t expect Norway to be a good place for an adventurous holiday. People usually visit Norway to go fishing and boating to enjoy a relaxing holiday, or to go climbing to enjoy the beauty of nature. But I didn’t go for them; I wanted adventure.
“Skiing (滑雪) is the most unforgettable thing I did in Norway. I went skiing in Svartisen. I had to wear special clothes, because skiing there could be very dangerous. Svartisen is a very special and beautiful place. The ice there is not the usual white but blue, like the sea.
“I also visited the Holmenkollen Ski Jump in Oslo. It was fantastic to look from the top of the ski jump (滑雪跳台) and the ski museum was very interesting. I wanted to try a jump but unluckily, it didn’t open when I visited. Anyway, I was very tired and needed a break, so I went back to my hotel and got some sleep.
“Next year, I am going to take my sister to Norway, too. She is having her holiday with our parents in Australia now and she wants to have a different kind of adventure next year.”
