Easter update...

, , ,

Hi All,

Well have more or less taken the easter off from Opera, mostly to spend time with Miss Duplo and some friends.

But here goes, the official Duploworld easter update:D

Thursday
Well we slept till late, had a easter lunch planned for 1400 hrs. at some friends house and wanted to be well rested for that. It was a great Lunch, good friends and loads of fun. what more to ask for:) but it was a long lunch too, we were not home until 0100 hrs:D
Friday
Friday was reserved for snowboarding, lots of excellent snow and laods of fun until miss duplo hurt her neck, had to take her home and lie down on the floor all evening, not much fun but she came out all right and that is what matters...
Still a fun day:)
Saturday
Well Miss Duplo had to work, so first chance I got I grabbed my gear and my board and rushed off to the slopes... and what a day:yes:
Beautiful high sun, blue sky and lots of crisp snow... met up with another snowoarder out there and even though he has been of the board for a few years he is light years ahead of me already in terms of jumping... but that was the target of the year geting better at that and well small steps but definitely moving in the right direction:D
We even got a few short "off-piste" runs squeezed in:up:

When I got home around 5ish and decided to grab the camera and go for a walk, just to walk the sore legs away kind of:)
Well here are a few pictures from the walk.
First off, is a new view at the lower half of the "Nuussuaq Staircase", my first attempt to picture it is HERE, but my 14mm prime gave a totally different view at it... much better, but still not perfect yet... anyway here goes:

Stairway to heaven - part II

And a two "townscapes to round up the pictures in this post:













Sunday
Sunday was easter brunch day at our house. had a round of good friends over for Miss Duplos special brunch, it was a very good way to start a cozy Sunday... Miss Duplo and I really just went lazy the rest of the day, not much to say:)
Monday
Well that is today and today has been all slopes again, miss Duplo and I went there early and around oneish a few friends joined in, they have just begun boarding and a still taking a lot of hits falling, but I think they are improving rather fast.
Miss Duplo achieved her first big success turning both heel and toeside... I am so proud of her and she looks soo lovely in that snowboarding gear:love:
this evening has been al slow and cozy, gathering strength for the upcomming days of worrk.

All in all an amazing easter:)

Take care you all:)

I'm glad that your Easter was fine!

These 4 days was only rain, rain and rain in Manaus! Oh my God! Never saw so much water before!!!

But the Sunday lunch was marvelous!! All the family together! And lots of chocolate! bigsmile

I love these moments!!!

Nice to hear, you and Mrs. Duplo had some nice and funny Easter-days, Thomas.
Your photo of the stairway to heaven is amazing and very good. up
Do you have planned some more photos of it? I think, it could be a preferred motif.

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Tuesday, April 10, 2007 11:29:43 AM

hungryghost Wednesday, April 11, 2007 11:36:32 PM

sounds like you had a pretty active easter yourself Mr. Duplo, even if you didn't have to climb 735 steps bigsmile bigsmile - unless the stairway to heaven has that many steps bigsmile bigsmile

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Wednesday, April 11, 2007 11:40:49 PM

Hi hungry nope never counted them but I know it totals out on the far side of 200... why I am actually going to claim to have climbed at least 1200 steps:D:D

Yep very active and such good fun too:D Nothing better than full speed on fast snow:D

Sprogger McSprogsprogger Thursday, April 12, 2007 4:32:15 PM

Great shot of the stairway to heaven up
