"40 days, 40 nights" Volume 1.

When I woke up early that morning I thought I was going to have the time of my life! I´ve always wanted to go snowboarding, it looks so cool and fun, also I love the snow! Also it was going to be so much fun because Carolina had never really seen snow, she hadn´t experienced it up close before!! I guess carribean islands doný have it all after all!! Who would of thought at the same time us Europeans are dreaming of the sun, or anything remotely warm, like a small badger, there are people in the world on hot sunny beaches wishing for snow, snowmen or even just a small snowball or something even a little bit cold like a frozen pea!! So everyone was excited including me! But.......blah, blah, blah (cut to the end)..........Carolina broke her wrist inthe first 10 minutes on the way down the slope! Despite only being 10 minutes down the slope the start of the slope seemed miles away especially with two snowboards and wearing big fat heavy boots, that were probably used before to sink ships or for those really old diver suits with the big helmets!! I can´t believe someone did a marathon wearing that kit!!! It took him like 3 days!!! Can you imagine the staff for the marathon who give out the medals at the end!!! Guaranteed they were pissed!!! Unless they were getting paid, then they´d be loving it, do those people get paid?? I have no idea... Anyway, so we headed up the mountain, me with two snowboards and climbing a mountain, in the snow, did i mention it was a steep mountain, and that there was the added peril of crazy ass skiiers and snowboarders coming down towards us!! Another thing, only one more, there was this death drop to our right, but that was ok because it had a waist high little plastic fence to prevent any danger, hmmm... but eventually we did get to the top, Carolina was in pain by this point and I was sooo worried, but I quite enjoyed the ´journey of shame´ on the chairlift down!! So after this, her wrist was getting worse so we settled down for fun in the best busiest and only restaurant on the mountain. Here we wined and dined on the worst hot chocolate ever created by man and a nice sandwich. Possibly the worst meal I´ve ever had, apart from the first and consequently last chinese school dinner I tried in China. So we spent the rest of the day knocking about the ´ski lodge´ safe in the knowledge that we couldn´t break any more bones and that I there are worse things that could happen 10 minutes into a snowboarding trip, but we couldn´t actaually work out what they might be, but there must be something, somewhere. Mo and Liam finally caught up with us 3 hours later and said they were ready to go because they felt tired, and little Pauli was having one last run down the mountiain. I never moved so fast, knowing that Carolina would be in safe hands, my chance to have one go down the beast was too much to pass over. I caught up with Pauli and had the time of my life on my first time down. This would have been the perfect time to have somesort of horrific injury but it wasn´t to be the case. I felt somewhat of a natural att he wholething, even if I did fall over every 5 seconds. I was natural at falling over, what can I say... So I got to the bottom of the run, covered in sweat, snow and 3 more layers of clothes than I needed. We then travelled home peacefully to the safety of Gijon. 5 hours spent in the hospital the next day reveled a breakage of the radius, a love for the hospital kiosko and a hatred of other people who get to go before you when they arrived after you!!! 1 more week and having a friend as a doctor revealed that the plaster had been put on wrong, so they very painfully rebroke Carolinas´ wrist, which Carolina didn´t even feel due to the exessive amounts of painkillers given to ease their pain of fucking up the plaster!! It wasn´t obviously fun and games a little less than 3 hours later however when the painkillers slowly wore off. I ran into town as quick as I could to get painkillers as I couldn´t stand seeing her in pain, after this started the 40 days and 40 nights....

There she is...
