Kirkenes Part 3

After the snow hotel we headed on down the road towards our stop for tomorrow to fid somewhere to spend the night and man it was gorgeous. We stopped at the rest stops to spy and take photos, stopped at Skoltefossen which was so loud! So much water!

The photo after the waterfall with the picnic table was probably the most beautiful stop of the day. That photo does not show at all how gorgeous it was! Oh it was amazing! And when we were at that stop I was like we didn’t see any reindeer today! Then I realized we saw the ones at the snow hotel, not no wild reindeer…and as soon as we headed on down the road we saw two different groups of them!

The last 6 photos are where we are camped tonight which is so nice! Like we got here around 5, sunset was just after 6, and it stayed light until 7 so we had lots of time to relax and enjoy the views! It is weird as by 4 it felt sort late and like the sun was going to go down any minute, but once it actually did go down it stayed light forever! I know the sun is going to rapidly start setting earlier and earlier so it will be interesting to see how the light changes through the day (ands if it still started light at long after sunset). I remember last time by the time we were heading home it felt like it was almost dinner time at like 1pm which was so strange.

Today was such a great day. I love love loved driving around here! I still can’t get over how gorgeous it is. Just unbelievable and my photos really do not do it justice at all. Plus the weather was perfect and i got to pet all the pups! Tomorrow we head on to start driving one of the national scenic routes which were all super nice last time so I can’t wait to see what we see!Read more
