Nordic Adventure

I realize it's a bit late to tell you about the trip we did during Easter to Sweden and Norway, but the reason is that I didn't get the pictures until recently. I didn't wanna write and write about what we did and how much we enjoyed our time over there without presenting you some photos.

As many of us are working already and now free days start to be rare, we need to use every holiday to get out of Pamplona. So that's what we did. We took three days off and made a ten days vacation. I'm not gonna go into much detail about the itinerary and what we did in each place, just mention. However, I really want to comment a little bit about the highlight of the trip (there were a lot of anecdotes, like when we almost got arrested, but those are not as important as this one), which is the three days we spent in Kiruna.




Kiruna is a small town in the Northest part of Sweden. We went there by plane and then came back by train (in which we had a rave, I mean, we didn't sleep much because we kept meeting crazy people ready to party). Anyway, the thing is that up there we did an excursion to a remote area by both snowmobile and dogsled. We spent the night near a frozen river in a small hut and living next to a pretty weird Inuit (I believe that's the right name for the native people of that region). He was in charge of the tiny camp and cooked us reindeer twice. Well, it was an unforgettable experience I'll always remember. Oh, and I almost forgot, we also visited the Ice Hotel, which is located near Kiruna and which is astonishing.







Before we had been in Stockholm, really beautiful city. And there I met up with Marie, my Swedish friend whom I hadn't seen since our last reunion in Vienna. After Kiruna we headed down again and visited Aitor, our friend who is studying over there his master degree. He is living in Gavle, a small and nice city in which the party is granted, even in a dorm basement, hehe. And from there we went to our final destination, Oslo, which is also nice but I just didn't like it as much as the others. For me, personally, Sweden was better than Norway, but that's just my opinion.
