..It feels like an epic journey to get to this cabin. Two flights, a night in Bodø, a three hour drive, a ferry ride, a further half hour drive then a trek up a hill with suitcases.
And it is so worth it. When you finally get into the cabin (after half an hour of trying to contact the owner for the code) and dump the bags and take in the view. That feeling right there. It was an interesting drive this morning. We were aiming for one of two ferries...11:45 or 2pm. No pressure from Stu as he casually informed me on a number of occasions... "if we continue at this rate we'll miss the first one by three minutes". Or "if you put your foot down we'll make it with two minutes to spare". Etc. Well. We made the first one. With two minutes to spare. The temperatures are mad here. Throughout the drive the temps literally ranged from 0 to -20 ( I saw -21.5 but Stu didn't as he was checking ferry times...so I don't have a witness). We saw two moose en-route. One munching by the side of the road. The other dead...by the side of the road. We've not spotted any Moose or reindeer up here at the cabin yet. But there're plenty of tracks around. Last year we didn't need to light the fire. Not the same this time. That fire is roaring right now. So we'll be off to buy more logs and kindling tomorrow. Anyway. After a little snooze (me...I'm a lightweight), we've moved the sofa to the big window and we're currently sitting and contemplating the remainder of a gorgeous red sunset. A beautiful clear night. Fingers cross we have some green tonight! Today's iPhone pics: -20, Stu on the ferry and cabin views.
