15th February, as my
friends and family know that date is my birthday, but for me was also the day
we went to skiholidays, so that day we woke up very early to take the ferry
from the south-sjælland to Germany, we were together with other 5 families where
we had breakfast and I got presents, my family surprised me because they had
Venezuelan flags for me, we arrived to Germany in the morning and braced
ourselves to spend quite a long time driving to Austria.
I knew we were in Austria when I
started to see mountains, we arrived to our first hotel at night to eat dinner
and sleep it was snowing so it was really beautiful , I spent the whole day
sitting in the car and sleeping so it was kind of a fast day for me. Next day
in the morning we drove to Wagrain, we arrived to the hotel and left our
things, rented our ski equipment and went up to the mountain. Over there, the
others started going down and up while my dad was showing me the basic tricks
to learn how to ski, it was very frustrating at the beginning but my dad gave
me 15 minutes to think and I said to myself “I can do it” after that we
continued practicing, went to eat lunch and practiced a little bit more, I was completely
tired just as the other so we went back to the hotel to relax where we enjoyed the sauna, the pool and for me and the children the snow also.
Next day was my first day at the
ski school, I was of course in the beginner’s
group and we had a Danish teacher so it was nice to speak Danish with him, I was
together with people from Germany, Holland, Russia and Denmark, we started
learning the basic things, after two hours was lunch time where we had lunch
together an after two hours more practicing, It was a god day I was starting to
really like to ski.
After the third and last day at
the ski school I was ready to be together with my family, So we went to another
mountain to spend the day, it had snow the night before and the tracks were
full of little snow’s hills so it was harder to ski that day but the good thing
about that was that I made a good effort so the next days were easier and
funnier, we were finish everyday around 3 o’clock and we took to afterski,
places where the people can go afterwards, have something to drink, listen to
music and just have fun, that was amazing, you can forget you are tired and
just have a great time with your family and friends in an Austrian style.
The last 2 or 3 days the sun was
shining and was an awesome experience, even when it was cold you could feel the
sun in your face and it made the snow look like glitter, we had also a picnic
with the people from our same hotel, most of them from Denmark where we had
food and many dances and games in the snow. The last day I skied down with my
parents the whole mountain, it was hard and I got pain in my legs but I was too
much happy to feel it. We had dinner with
the other 5 families every night. 
Our return home was hard and long
because of the bad weather, it took us 17
hours to arrive home, when we finally arrived we packed out all the things from
the car and cleaned it, we were really tired and my dad’s mother (vores dejlig
farmor) invited us to have dinner at her place, we ate and told all the
experiences we had in our ski holidays. I can not describe how awesome
that holiday was for me, the best I have had in my life and I'm really grateful
with my Danish parents to gave me that amazing experience and have that great
and “hyggelig”time together that I will not forget.
