Woody Toy Story Blueprint

WE Lofoten (Part 1)


Each semester ( Quad ), International Student Union ( ISU) organizes a trip to the Lofoten Islands and according to witnesses, travel not to be missed for anything! But the task was not easy, because once registered, a lottery would determine who would leave or not. There were only 44 seats, fingers crossed! Yeah I paaaaaaaars J

Lofoten Islands are apparently a must to discover during a stay in Norway . This archipelago of ten islands located 200 km north of the Arctic Circle. I also found these few words on the Internet is a nice description before you show my photos end of the article:

"Over there, brightness arctic landscape gives a special glow, blue water is comparable to that of the sky, red fishing huts competes with deep green meadows and mountain slopes. Even more surprising in this chart , the presence of the white color, not just snow in the winter but it's long sandy beaches. "

Thursday, September 20, go to 19h. All Aboard for 16h bus to Skutvik to take a ferry towards Lofoten ( Svolvær ). And during the trip, to 2 am, while I was sleeping peacefully, guillaume woke ... "Look at The sky, Rachel! "There were several Aurora Borealis, too too good, it was the first time I saw here J


Friday, September 21, after a night the bus, we arrive with more 2hours in advance, we're free for a little walk ... The scenery is beautiful and the sun is there, ask for more?!?! The ferry is there, on board for two hours on board for the picnic, the sky is covered, it is gray and the wind blows, but this does not prevent us from staying on deck to enjoy the view and possibly why be a whale. Unfortunately, I have not seen me, by Richard cons (Brazil) he saw some dolphins! Around 14h, we finally win the mainland, Lofoten Islands us here! This aprem , visit the Viking Museum ... First, we embark together a Viking aboard a Viking ship where we are 'guests' rowing as true Vikings! Not easy, the train is rather heavy but the songs are there to encourage us especially that it is not hot! aaaaaaaaaaaahiiiiiiiiiiiii aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahooooooooooo ! After crossing the lake, we reach the house where a Viking guide awaits us, the visit is enjoyable and ends with a 'Viking Dinner'. Everyone is dressed in a cape, and we eat like real Vikings, a kind of stew cooked over a wood fire with mead!

After this long day we finally win our cabins in a small village, (pronounced 'o'), we left in several booths, I'm in the largest, a whopping 18 people! So much safer for the evening, everyone joined us, music and beer, the atmosphere Erasmus is here!
