I am crossing Greenland on skis in May, pulling my sled to raise money for "Right To Play" and "Children in Crisis". These charities help children in the most traumatised regions of the world. I strongly believe that the world is a community and that children are our future. So for me, it is absolutely necessary that children all over the world acquire social skills, team spirit and an education so that they can respect themselves. I will face extreme cold, howling winds, fatigue and icy snow. I will have to carry everything I need on my sled and back. I will sleep in a tent in the middle of nowhere. I might even encounter a polar bear!! I am really super excited but terrified!! It is a minimum of 3 weeks so I think that my limits will be thoroughly tested.

Biking instead of walking..


I had decided to train by walking along the path which goes from Sperone to Ciapilli. It is a stunning path right above the sea, and meanders through rocks and flowers, being quite steep at some places. Here are some pictures.

Looks like Shrek

Even the weeds are lovely here...

 But I saw a snake as I was walking and I totally freaked out! I HATE snakes. For me they represent death! So I ran back home and went on my exercise bike on my terrace and trained for an hour. Later I went to town and this was what the sunset looked like on Bonifacio:
