When the Bergen ice2ice team (or should I say Kerim) decided after New Year that it was about time to organise something social and fun I suggested curling. Kerim his rather simple reply (Perfect Sarah! So, you will organise it then) was all that was necessary to have a decision. Curling it was! (Lesson learned: Be careful when you suggest something)

Nonetheless, a few weeks later on a rainy tuesday evening it was time to play some curling. Fourteen of our ice2ice colleagues, including a guest from Copenhagen (Markus) took the bus to Iskanten Ishall. Of course, after a long working day we were all very hungry and needed some pizza first. One of the conversation topics during dinner was that curling seems so easy on television, it can´t be that difficult. However, once on the ice it turned out to be slightly different. An instructor explained us the basics to play, the rules and some tricks on how to curl the stones.

Afterwards we played several games where the stones most of the times went to fast or too slow. And I guess it was the latter that caused the most laughter, because seeing your teammates swipe like crazy is kind of funny.
