Paragliding

First try: I was very happy that the fence ended exactly where it did. 

Second try: I FLEW. And oh, my goodness how awesome that was.

This whole weekend has just been terrific. I have just been enjoying life with friends, not worried about one thing.

Voss is the place to visit.

Dancing salsa

This spring I have been attending a salsa course. Tonight, me and Åshild went out to try it for "real" - at Verftet. And it was awesome! :) :) :) Although I had some trouble keeping up with a couple of the guys, sometimes I just felt like "Hey! I am actually managing this!" And when that happens, you just have FUN. :)

Mountain climbing

It’s hard to describe what it feels like when you're far up some mountain wall, and you can’t see any way to get up, down, or anywhere really. You feel tired, helpless, and frustrated. You wonder why the heavens you put yourself in this position.

         Luckily, I had a guy on the ground that could pull me down. The problem was, he didn’t want to let me give up. I told him I really couldn't do this, and I was serious. My body told me so, and my mind told me so. But he didn’t take me seriously. He told me I would make it. He told me to just hang in there for a while and breathe. And so I did. And then I climbed to the top.

I think mountain climbing taught me something about life.

I think it is super important to continue trying new things, exploring the unknown, breaking some boundaries. That is why I start this new series: "Berit does new things" :) Haha. Or maybe I just do it so I have an excuse to brag about my accomplishments :)

ANYWAY:

My first new thing is:

Going "Vidden" alone

Pros:

• No awkward silent moments
• You can do anything exactly as you want to
• A temporary feeling of being healthier than all your friends :)

Cons:

• There is no-one to listen to all your complaints
• No people to pose in your pictures
• It's really hard to put sunscreen on your own back

Conclusion: Nice experience, but next time I wouldn't mind some company.
