Day:271, Words:271

The group of year 7s slept heavy into the late morning hours and it is no wonder. After dinner, a stock standard cabin feast of a mexican minced meat dish and cordial, the sauna group set about firing up the oven. It was important that the sauna wood oven was hot enough to produce a sweat as the intention was to take a dip in the nearby lake. Luckily someone had brough with them a thermometer to measure the water. The mercury struggled up to a fresh five degrees, which meant one thing, it was going to hurt. The first group of boys entered the sauna and planned their strategy. After around ten minutes of sweating it up, the brave lads tip toed to the edge og the jetty, had second, third and fourth thoughts and plunged into the icy water. Shrieks and gasps escaped as the boys made a quick 5 metre dash out to sea and returned just as the cramps were taking control of their legs. They stumbled back into the sauna and recovered before the next group arrived.

As the darkness set in over the valley, a confusing game of 'Zombie' began, involving all. I'm not sure of the rules but it involves lots of running, screaming and torches. As they started to tire, the crowd gathered at the campfire and began to toast marshmellows. Eventually, the group retired to their cosy cabin and became engaged in an intense game of Scrabble.

Today, the group returned to the metropolis of Øksfjord, having enjoyed a wonderful trip to Gardibu. It was a fantastic example of friendship and co-operation.
