A day out on Vengsøy

Today we went out to an island named Vengsøy. In Norwegian it means Wing Island as the island is in the shape of a wing. There are also hundreds of seagulls there. This morning I woke up around 8am and it was so nice to sleep in a bed for once. It will be quite the rare occasion throughout the next year as we will be staying in tents for most of the trip. After a little breakfast of yogurt and a banana, Tonje, Tarn and I walked to the grocery store she works at and we picked up some stuff for lunch. Around 9am we drove up north for about 30 minutes and then we met up with my parents. We took a ferry to Vengsøy and the views were gorgeous. The area we are in right now is made up of a bunch of different islands that are surrounded by the arctic ocean. The water is very, very, very cold. We had a bit to eat and we headed off for our hike up the mountain. I have put lots of photos from today on the photos page. The hike was quite difficult and it got quite steep at times but it was beautiful to see the mountains and ocean around us. At the peak it was around 607 meters and we had hiked literally from sea level. After three and a half hours we had descended back into town and we met up with Mom, Maria, Angelica and Nils-Jorgen. (Maria and Nils-Jorgen are the mom and dad and then they have three kids, Tonje (17) Sivert (15) and Angelica (11).) We hung out at their grandparents house on the island for the afternoon and had a good dinner outside. For the most part of the day it was super nice and sunny outside but around 7pm it started raining and then it kept raining when we took the ferry back at 9pm. The views from the peak of the hike today were amazing and make sure to check out the photos on the photos page!
