Oslo Trip - Day 1

Hei Hei! 

The NLC class got home from a 3 day trip to Oslo! It was fun and we were lucky enough to get sunny, crisp weather. Last Wednesday we got up bright and early and took an 8am train to Oslo. It was a beautiful, cross country trip. Super fun actually! I slept most of the way so it went by quick. We got off the train in Oslo central station and began making our way to the hostel we were staying at. We stopped at an Indian restaurant for a buffet which was delicious. After a quick walk through the sculpture garden next to the royal palace, we arrived at the hostel and got settled into our rooms. We met at the National Theatre at 3pm to see a play/musical. It was fun, but made for kids so not super entertaining. But the actual building is really cool and has some crazy paintings in it. Pictures to follow! 

There is a small sculpture garden in the park surrounding the castle. Each of the sculptures was drawn by a k

After the play, we were able to explore Oslo a bit. There was a Christmas market nearby, lots of pretty lights. It got us in the Christmas mood!

Northern Trip Days 3!

 Hello again! Let’s talk about the next day of the trip. After the overnight train from Trondheim to Bodø, we went to breakfast at a little cafe inside the train station. We reserved a little room in the cafe where we were able to leave our big packs while we looked around the town. Some people stayed back with our stuff, while a group of us wandered a bit. Marlene, Helena, and I walked along the harbor, played on a strange playground, explored a church, and then went back to meet the rest of the class.  Here is the Sami museum in Bodø. I only brought one pair of pants so I just wear two pairs of long Johns most days :) Weird playground?  At noon we walked to the harbor and boarded a ship called Hurtigruta. That’s just the name of the company, the actual ship had a name but I don’t remember it hehe. These kinds of ships sail along the coast of Norway stopping at one or two cities/towns a day. It’s basically a cruise ship, but relatively small. I wish I had a picture but I don’t. If you

NN days 9 and 10!

Hello Hello! I found that blogging while traveling that much was kind of overwhelming, so I decided to restart once I was back at school. And here I am! Now the school is on break, so it is just me and a few other NLC students at school. I finally have some quiet time in one place to tell you all more about the fantastic adventure! So let's pick back up on day 9. The last time I wrote was about day 8. At that point, we had just stayed with the other students at Pasvik Folkehøgskole. Lots of fun. On day 9, we woke up early, caught an 8am bus, and drove back into Kirkenes. This day was by far one of my favorites of the whole trip. We wandered around Kirkenes for a while more until getting picked up in a fancy van that would take us to the Kirkenes snow hotel. On our way there, we stopped at a famous cave where Norwegian people took shelter during ww2. We got a quick tour of this interesting area, and overall I felt like I learned a lot about ww2 during the northern trip. The northern

NN Days 6, 7, and 8!

Hello again! I took a couple of days break because we spend 2 days on the coastal ship. During those two days I hardly got out of bed. Not because I was sea sick or anything, I was just having some lovely sleeps in a real bed 😴🥰. But let’s go back and I’ll do a quick recap of everyday and share some pictures!  Day 6 was our first full day on the boat. We got to eat a lovely breakfast served by the ship. It was maybe the best I’ve ever had!!  So many options!  I’m looking a little tired here 😴 Here is the ship! Polarlys is the name of the boat, it means polar light!  I spent literally all day in bed up until the boat docked in Tromsø. We ate some “American” style pizza and then had a few hours to wander around. It’s a pretty little town, but it was dark and chilly so we didn’t really get the full experience.  Here is our tiny, messy little cabin. Three of us in one cabin.  We had to provide our own lunches so most of us just made ramen. But we all had to share on water boiler. So I m
