Utakleiv

Today I went to Utakleiv! I went to rent a car but I hadn't made a reservation so... no car. I took a bus to Leknes and from there I walked....a lot, but it was well worth it.

There were sheep on the beach! Sheep! So I walked down further away from the two people on the beach, the only other two there, it was so silent and serene. I put on my suit and went to swim in the Norwegian Sea. I was up to my waist and had to run out it was so cold! I laid on the sand and warmed up a little while taking photos of the sheep and the lucid blue water. Then I decided there was no way I could come all this way and not go swimming so I went in and went swimming, all the way, over my head and all. It was freezing and invigorating and wonderful! I loved it. Soon thereafter I saw a jellyfish and bolted out of the water. I changed out of the cold suit and walked back. Passed a good deal of cows and more sheep (the sheep were everywhere!) By the time I had reached the bus stop I had to wait for three hours for the next bus to come, with nothing around at all. Things get interesting when you stare at clouds for three hours.
