A trip to Norway

On the 10th of May, Estonian students and teachers took a plane to Norway from Tallinn.
When we got to Norway, the first thing we noticed in shops were the prices, because they were very high compared to Estonia.

We stayed the first night in a hotel in Oslo, which is a very beautiful city with many different people. People are very friendly in Norway, so it was a pleasure to be there.

The next day we drove eight hours with a bus to Stryn – the place our hosts live. The bus trip was very exhausting but actually not very horrible because the nature is so beautiful in Norway, so we just stared out of the windows and admired the mountains.
When we arrived in Stryn, our hosts were already waiting for us, so then we met them and went to their houses.

On the third day we drove around in Norway, near the Stryn, with a bus with all of the Comenius people. It was quite interesting, because we got to see more of the picturesque scenery.

The fourth day was very interesting because we got to see the school where our hosts go to. It is quite different from our school because there are fewer pupils, they have to bring their own lunch to school and in the breaks they have to go outdoors.
In the evening we all went out to the bowling alley and later to a place where teenagers get together and have fun. That day was very cool because we got to meet many new people.

The next day we went up in the mountains where we saw the glacier and when we came out of the car we could see an avalanche high in the mountains.
Later that day we just met some of the other people and went out.

On the last day we went to the guesthouse where our teachers were staying. We spent time in that house for a whole day until we had to go on a bus, which took us to Oslo again. This time the bus trip was kind of terrible, because everything was so uncomfortable and everyone except me were sleeping.

All in all, the trip was awesome because we had a lot of fun and it was very sad to leave. I already miss Norway, so I hope that one day I can visit this country again.
