Day 1 Departure

After sleeping for less than two hours,  we left Murcia to Alicante airport at 4 in the morning on Saturday. Our flight departed at 7 in the morning and we arrived to Norway around four hours later freezing but feeling well. We had heard people say that cold in Norway does not feel that cold but the minus seven degrees that awaited for us at the airport made us think that probably that was not going to be the case for us. At the airport our dirver Jan was waiting for us. He is also a teacher at the High School in Askim because apparently in this country teacher do not devote theselves only to one job. He drove on the school bus (I didn't know that schools could own buses too) and took us safely to our destination. On our way we got to see the beautiful landscapes of the region and we even took a ferry to cross a fiord. It was really pretty and definately worth it despite of the terrible cold.

We finally arrived at the High School around noon. Our guests were waiting for us and they gave us a warm welcome to contrast the below zero temperatures that we were about the suffer for the rest of the week (it doesn't like we are going to reach a nice temperature, and by nice a¡I mean above zero, any time soon).

 The students had a free afternoon to get to know the area where they were about to spend a whole week and they enjoyed with their host families a weekend in the happiest country on earth*. (how lucky!)
