A
Calvin Gillian didn't believe that Norway was the place for an adventurous holiday.However，some friends told him to go there and he loved it.
“I'm an extremesports maniac.I've traveled to many different countries，but I didn't expect Norway to be a good place for an extreme holiday.Tourists usually visit Norway because of its old viking history or to go fishing and boating in the famous fjords(峡湾) to enjoy a relaxing holiday，or to go climbing to enjoy the beauty of nature.But I didn't go for fishing; I wanted adventure.”
“Skiing(滑雪) is the best thing you can do in Norway.Svartisen，the Black Ice glacier，is wonderful.The ice is not the usual white but a deep blue color，like the sea.However，you have to wear special clothes，because skiing on a millionyearold glacier can be very dangerous.”
“Then，there is Hunderfossen Family Park or Troll Park.You can go water skiing and ice skating.It is certainly a beautiful place but it is more expensive than visiting other parts of Norway.”
“I also visited the Holmenkollen Ski Jump in Oslo.The view from the top of the ski jump was wonderful and the ski museum was very interesting.I wanted to try a jump but unfortunately，it's only for professional(职业的) skijumpers.Anyway，I was very tired and I needed a break，so I went back to my hotel and got some sleep.”
“Next year，I am going to take my girlfriend to Norway，too.She is having her holiday in Australia now and she wants to have a different type of adventure for next year.”
