Høst ferie!

Straight after the Autumn meeting in Hamar, my host parents and the US exchanger headed off on Autumn break. We travelled North up to a place about an hour South of Trondheim.

On the way up there we drove over mountains. We were above the tree level. It was really amazing scenery. The high mountains were snowcapped. It was so beautiful! We stayed at this little old school that had been converted into a little hotel.






Then we drove to Trondheim. We spent a few hours wandering around Trondheim. We first looked at Nidaros Cathedral. It is a really amazing cathedral. We walked around Trondheim for a while, then went and got lunch.

Then we headed for Hell! There is a place in Norway called Hell. We went down to the train station and got pictures in front of the sign. So I can now say that I've been to Hell and back!




After a short stop in Hell we drove to Åre, just over the Swedish border. We stayed in a really nice spot by the river and surounded by mountains. The first day we went for a walk halfway up on of the mountains. It was pretty amazing scenery!




The next day we climbed to the top of a mountain! 986m above sea level! It was so amazing! It was really beautiful from the top. The next day we went out to the biggest waterfall in Sweden (which quite frankly, wasn't particularly big!).



The next day we went for a forest walk by the river. It was quite pretty because the Autumn leaves are all out. The last day we were there it was bad weather so we headed to the pool. There was quite a large pool area there and saunas. The sauna part was good. They had all different types of saunas. We went in one then went up jumped in the ice pool.



We went a different way home. It was forest most of the way. It was a really good week, but the traffic home was pretty bad!
