Lighthouse Hike

Today a group of us took a hike to a lighthouse on another side of the island. It was a beautiful day--blue sky and sunny--perfect for a walk through the woods and over the rocks that are so typically Norwegian. It was great to see a different part of Flekkeroy; of late, my outings have consisted of walking down to the grocery store with Gunna to buy chocolate :-). Not to say that we haven't been running, but that's a different type of outing... Anyway, about 10 of us set out on our adventure around 2pm, led by Elisabet, one of the students in my school (the SOI) and a Flekkeroy native! It took about 45 minutes on the trail before we arrived at the lighthouse. One of the amazing things about the trails here on Flekkeroy is that you'll be walking through the woods surrounded by trees, and then all of a sudden, the trail will open up to a clearing overlooking the sea! Once we arrived, we hung out for about an hour, scrambling around on the rocks, taking pictures, and enjoying the gorgeous view. I've attached some pics below. It's been a while since I posted any photos, so I thought I'd make up for it, by adding more than usual :-). You'll also be able to see some of my other friends here at the base--proof that I hang out with people other than Gunna!
