1 Week On!

It has been 1 week since we arrvied back to gloomy Shetland! I can safely say we are all missing Voss very much!

On our last day in Voss we had a lovely lunch at Husflidskule - (Randi's School). They prepared a traditional Norwegian soup for us that I thought was quite similar to tattie soup - it was yummy! After that we had coffee, tea, along with plates of fruit and brownies. We discussed our trip, said our goodbyes (reluctantly) and made for our accomodation to commence the packing! That night we also went out to eat at the Park Hotel with James for a lovely farewell meal. We were up very early the next day for some last minute packing and to give our accomodation a bit of a clear up - we were all very sad to all hand in our keys. Our trip home went very smoothly. We got the train to Bergen in plently of time. We had time to spare in Bergen, however it was cold and wet so we decided to just go straight to the airport. We had a couple of hours spare in Aberdeen where a few of us did some shopping or got something to eat before heading on the boat home.

We would like to give a huge thank you for everyone involved in this trip and for giving us this opportunity, we had a brilliant time, it was a great life experience and we all miss it and have great memories of our trip. Not only that but we've met some wonderful people and made some new friends!









We all plan to come back some day!

GO GO POWER RANGERS! (Windtunnel)

We've just arrived back from the newly opened "Vossvind" windtunnel.  We got a group talk from an instructor who gave us a few tips and some advice before we went into the tunnel!  The speed of the wind tunnel was around 180km and we each got two turns in the tunnel with the instructor.  We all absolutely loved it, it was definitely the most exciting single 3minutes of the trip!  We're desperate to have another shot so it's a shame it only opened towards the last days of our time here!  The instructors were kind enough to take lots of photos of us in the tunnel, and here is one of us beforehand, our hair was slightly more volumised after the experience to say the least!  We all recommend the wind tunnel to anyone who gets the opportunity to have a go in one!
