Grøtfjord picture post!

Today was our last trip we all did together as this year's group of international students of the University of Tromsø, and it was an amazing trip! :D

We went to the Grøtfjord beach to barbecue and you could go hiking or fishing if you wanted! I did actually go hiking and it was so much fun, and the nature was soooo beautiful, but it was pretty exhausting, too, which is the reason I'll just dump some photos here, and maybe don't write too much about everything! :)

At first you cross a forest which is really pretty.

Photobucket
We were quite a lot of people.

Photobucket
There was water running down the rocks just about everywhere!

Photobucket
You could pick blueberries as you went along. So many blueberries! :D

Photobucket
View down on the beach where we barbecued! :)

Photobucket
We saw reindeer just running about. :D

Photobucket
View from the very top of the mountain!

Photobucket
View of the lake from where we clmibed all the way up!

Photobucket
Cooling of our feet in the sea afterwards! xD (It was so cold, it hurt! I don't know how some people could actually swim in it!)

So, that's about it. It was really cool. Want to go hiking again soon! :D

Reindeer are SO COOL ;-; And that beach looks beautiful! <3 Ha, I love how deceptive the water up north can be... You look at the beaches and think "Ooh, that looks like it could be tropical!" and then you get in the water and almost die XD

EDIT: Whoops! I replied to a comment instead of making a new one XD Sorry!

I love reindeer! :D I hope I can go to the Sami festival in winter when they are having reindeer races and such! :D
Yeah. xD When we were on the mountain and really hot and out of breath, we thought about going for a swim once we were down because the water looked really nice and blue, but once we got our feet in, we instantly changed our minds. xD
