Trip to Jotunheimen

Heeey! 

I`m finaly back from School trip to Jotunheimen with my class. We went to some different places in the beautiful country, Norway. We started the trip at 08.30 from Re on Tuesday, and drove bus in more than three hours to Lillehammer. Here we got time to eat at Mc donald`s and shop dinner, breakfast and lunch for Tuesday and Wednesday.   

Then we drove further to a place called "Helvete". Here we first stopped and watched and learned about the puthols. Puthols are BIG holes in the ground that have occurred because of the ice- age. After "Helvete" we drove one more hour and tok the third break at "Kvitskriuprestinn". Here we watched columns of glacial material, whitch are the only columns made of glacial material we have in Northern Europe. Then we drove straight to the camp "Heidal", where we sleept in tents.

Day 2. we woke up early and dressed up i wetsuits. We went to a river called "Sjoa" where half of the class tried rafting. It was sooo funny!! After rafting, several hours in bus passed until we finaly arrived the place where we visited a 6000 years old icedrift. We also went to a museum, were we learned about animals and the ice-age. The last 2 days we stayed at "Bøverdalen Vandrehjem".

Day 3. We spent whole day 3 at the trip to "Galdhøpiggen" Norway`s highest mountain. The mountain is 2469 meters above sea level, so it`s pretty high. I think I never been so tired and exhausted before in my entire life.  But it was totally worth it!!
All in all, I think we used 7 hours up and down the mountain, but it was 7 hours of my life I`ll never forget :)
