Taking the long way home

Tuesday was such a nice day that after work I decided to make a detour instead of going home by the shortest route. Heading roughly northeast, I reached the park, and turned in a more northerly direction, arriving at the same destination as on my No day off.

Most of the snow has gone, but there was still a ski track circuit passing close to the café there, obviously maintained by the local authorities, and quite a number of skiers still making the most of it (I'd already hung my skis up long ago!).

The paths in the park on my way home were mostly snow-free, if a bit soft in places where there was run-off from snow melting beside the path, and once or twice a patch of rough snow to plough through. Apart from that it was a very enjoyable ride!

Heippa!
Varovaisesti siellä liikenteessä varsinkin kun on perjantai 13. päivä! On muutenkin lähiajan kokemusta liikkumisen vaaroista, kun eräs laskettelija broke her wrist at Easter!
Nice Rides!

hi uncle phill!
just looked at your blog looks good! In answer to your question the water when snorkelling was very warm. The sea around the islands in southern Thailand was so warm it felt like a bath sometimes! Sounds like you enjoyed Venice!
