Acceptance

Day three started out really nicely. The view from my tent wasn’t half bad. 🙂 It was chilly but the sun was out, and I was excited to continue hiking.

Arriving at Singi

It’s about 15 km between Kebnekaise and Singi and it took me a good 7 hours orso to get to the second checkpoint. Once checked in at Singi checkpoint, I got my snack of souvas and mashed potatoes.

This time there was more snow on the mountains and heaps lower on those mountains as well. Makes for a pretty picture to see the snow dotted about, and just as long as I don’t have toContinueContinue reading “Snow dotted mountains”

Smile

When I woke up this morning and opened my curtains, I was greeted by a winter wonderland. Snow looks so pretty when you don’t have to go anywhere. And today, I was working from home, so I could stay in the comforts of my own apartment, all warm and snug. When I finished work forContinueContinue reading “Smile”
