A year 7 class from Alta has written a letter of thanks following their four day trip to Nuvsvåg, across the fjord. It is fun to see the 'big city' kids enjoy the great outdoors. They were treated to a fishing tour and a hike up to the glacier. The kids and teachers stayed in the now empty Nuvsvåg school and were joined by the four remaining Nuvsvåg students who are now home schooled.
After a day spent mostly indoors, many Øksfjordians would have settled in front of the telly. One of the popular Sunday programs is 'Alt for Norge', which is one of the better reality shows that follows a group of Americans with Norwegian ancestors. The Americans travel around Norway, learning the language and culture through a variety of competitions. Tonight the contestants were in northern Norway and their initial perceptions were similar to my own. It was obviously filmed in summer and the yanks could not get over the midnight sun. They adored the scenery, the fresh air and the cute houses. To say that they were impressed is an understatement.
There was a small interruption during the evening. It appears that the notorious group of knick knockers have made their way to Vassdalen. Strange scratching sounds on the window was followed by running feet noises and laughter. They huddled around the corner before deciding on the next victim.
It takes me back to my youth!!
