There is a billiards and bowling hall in the basement of the Radisson Hotel in the Bodø city centre. This evening my new buddy Leah and I decided to go down and play a round and quaff a beer / cider or two. This was the second trip to the ArkAden for the two of us. On our last visit we were intrigued by the giant table that is the one snooker table in the joint. Before returning, we each perused the rules of snooker until we felt like we had a basic grasp on the game and tried our hand at it tonight. And, in case you are wondering, snooker is a game that is played with 15 red balls and a few other balls of different colors. The balls are smaller than pool balls and the tips on the end of the cues are smaller as well.
As you can tell by the photos, the table is indeed big. Snooker turns out to be a game that is more challenging and less forgiving than pool. It was a good time and we are definitely going to go back for another crack at it before the summer is over.
