Nordlys
9. März 2019 in Norwegen ⋅ ☁️ -3 °C
The Northern Lights put on a presentation for us and I was finally able to get them on camera. Not the best shots but these are the best so far. It’s not easy to capture them on camera from a movingWeiterlesen
Honningsvåg
10. März 2019 in Norwegen ⋅ ☁️ -4 °C

Go south!
11. März 2019 in Finnland ⋅ ☀️ -19 °C
We left the north and Norway behind this morning, docking at Kirkenes (and probably as close to Russia as we ever need to be - just 57km to the nearest border station) and travelled into Finland. TheWeiterlesen
Light show
11. März 2019 in Finnland ⋅ 🌙 -16 °C
An amazing light show last night and we saw it all from the comfort of our beds inside the glass igloo. They came and went, waxed and waned but show up they did. Hard to capture on camera as I’m noWeiterlesen
Kakslauttanen - Finnish resort
12. März 2019 in Finnland ⋅ ☀️ -18 °C
Today’s snow adventures have already included a husky safari, having frozen nostrils (because it’s so cold at -25c this morning) and sore ear tips. The snow resort is made up of an east and westWeiterlesen
Getting better and better

The amazing Aurora Borealis once again showed us her lights. This time we were prepared and were able to set up the tripod. Using a Gorillapod in below freezing temperatures is quite difficult. ItWeiterlesen
Rovaneimi - Christmas Kitsch
14. März 2019 in Finnland ⋅ ❄️ -4 °C
Greetings from Rovaniemi, where it’s still Christmas or maybe it never stops. Wherever you go in this little city you cannot escape Christmas! It’s the official home of Santa. Just out of the cityWeiterlesen
Finnish forests
15. März 2019 in Finnland ⋅ ❄️ 2 °C
From Rovaniemi to the SnowVillage in Lainiotie, for a night in a cabin, and we are so glad that we did not spend a night in the oh so cold Ice Hotel! Instead we opted for the warmth of a cabin butWeiterlesen
Äkäslompo
17. März 2019 in Finnland ⋅ ☁️ -3 °C
Day 2 in Äkäslompolo has brought us snow. It is so quiet as it falls. I am still surprised by its stillness. I woke up to find the cars outside completely covered in snow. I am also beginning toWeiterlesen
Ice fishing and cross country skiing
18. März 2019 in Finnland ⋅ ❄️ 0 °C
There’s always something going on in Äkäslompolo! Yesterday it was snowmobiling and ice fishing - neither of which I am giving up my day job for. This morning it was cross country skiing with aWeiterlesen

Cabin fever
21. März 2019 in Finnland ⋅ ☀️ -1 °C
After a day staying in as I was not feeling up to it, we set off for a trip to visit a reindeer farm owned and run by a Sami family. It was so good to see that pulling tourists through a forest is notWeiterlesen
Back to the city
23. März 2019 in Finnland ⋅ 🌬 3 °C
It’s funny how you get used to a place so quickly when you are travelling and you develop small routines the longer you stay. We had grown so used to our cabin in Äkäslompolo and it felt a littleWeiterlesen

28. März 2019 in Island ⋅ ❄️ -1 °C

The North - to Akureyri
28. März 2019 in Island ⋅ 🌫 3 °C

Iceland has impressed! All I had to say this morning was ‘WOW’. I’m not an easy flyer, but our flight back to Reykjavík this morning was simply spectacular. This little country has the mostWeiterlesen
The Blue Lagoon
30. März 2019 in Island ⋅ ⛅ 0 °C
A trip to Iceland just wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the iconic Blue Lagoon. It really is that blue! The algae and minerals in the water add the colour. It was a very strange feeling to beWeiterlesen
The long way home
31. März 2019 in Norwegen ⋅ ☀️ -5 °C
As the lava fields of Iceland disappeared behind the clouds we began the long journey home, leaving behind Iceland and its 130 volcanoes. With a couple of hours layover in Oslo, we feel sad that ourWeiterlesen
