Fires on the beach
11 January 2009 | Hello Johnny beach, Ostia Lido
Glorious weather
Monica and Ole-Jonny on 'Kyrah' had a bright idea to have a BBQ on the beach. We got to see a fire pit, Norwegian style, which is much the same as ours but with a hose that you blow in to keep the coals alight. No doubt necessary when you go camping in the snow in Norway. These guys had us rolling on the sand telling us about their camping trip that ended up at minus 20 degrees (not predicted before they left) and with a campfire INSIDE the tent, with much smoke and coughing. Anyway, it was a lovely night and rekindled Sam's obsession with fire. In the end, the boys needed their own fire each because neither was doing it right, according to the other.
