Oslo, Norway!

Salut mon amis!

This week in the Amazing race, we went to Oslo, Norway! In this Amazing race, Rachel Dubois and I didn't stress as much in this one. It was a little hard, but not easy. First thing was that in Norway, Reindeer racing is very popular. We had to draw a labelled diagram of what we needed to enter a Reindeer race. Next, we had to find out what a Fjord was. A Fjord is a channel with mountains around it. After that, we found out that a Troll, is a Norwegian folklore. Then we had too do a Detour. We either had to play a game on the computer or hit targets and if we missed the targets, we have to run laps of the school. We chose to hit the targets and in total, we only had to run 2 laps. It wasn't that bad. After, we played a game on the computer where we had to guide the snowmobile to do 4 laps on the track. It was sort of hard because the snowmobile was slipping on the ice! We were tied with Team Bubble Gum Bling but then we pulled ahead and we were in 1st place! They were still very close!
Our pitstop was the Jukkasjarvi ice Hotel. It is the largest hotel made out of ice and snow! In the end, we came in 1st place! Yay! Team Bubble Gum Bling was 5 seconds after us and placed 2nd. After the race, Rachel and I went down to the harbour and we got a boat! We had so much fun! All I have to say, for now!

Au revoir friends!
