We Tried Curling for the First Time | Bygdøy Curling, Oslo, Norway
Growing up in Norway, I was quickly introduced to most things related to winter, snow, ice and skiing - but never got exposed to curling. And so I've been eager ever since seeing it in the Winter Olympics in my childhood to try the activity.
While Norway is a winter nation, curling is a niche sport that you don’t easily get exposed to, but since I got Polly with me in Norway for the first time, it’s time to finally try this! Polly has assembled a team and so have I. Let's get it on!
Thanks to the instructor Lasse Vinje and Bygdøy Curling Club for this fun and relaxed activity. And thanks to Brønnøya Badstubåt for the fun (and cold) sauna experience!

SHUFFLEBOARD INFO
We mentioned we also played shuffleboard. In case you're curious about how to play that, we'll quickly introduce it: Basically, there are a lot of variants, but the objective of the game is to slide weighted pucks (also called “weights” and “quoits”) so that they reach the highest scoring area on the opposite side of the table without falling off the end of the board into the gutter. Players take turns sliding the pucks trying to score points, or bump opposing pucks off the board, or protect their own pucks from bump-offs. When all weights have been shuffled, the player with the puck closest to the far edge of the table takes points for all pucks that are ahead of their opponent's furthest shot. Then you rinse and repeat! And some table shuffleboard vary in what substance they use to decrease friction, such as wax etc., but the most common ones in Norway are sprinkled with sand. So, overall it mimics curling to quite an extent, but still quite different. Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_shuffleboard
