Kungsleden Day 6




Day 6 we woke up to overcast skies and you could see the snow line on the mountains around us (the first photos is from the night before, the second from when we woke up in the morning). We only had a few miles to go on day 6 to get to Kebnekaise cabin. When we lazed around forever since it was windy and cold, but once we packed up and got out of the windbreak of rocks we camped by it was WAY windier! It almost knocked me over a few times while hiking. We got to Kebekaise and decided to stay the night in the cabins since I didn't sleep much, it was raining and super stormy and it was only lunchtime. We sat inside most of the day playing cards and watching the helicopter fly down the valley and back. It came a few times and droppes off large boxes of stuff it was carrying below it. The helicopter goes back and forth all day and you can ride it down to the 'town' where the trail ends. Kebnekaise is very popular to climb so it was like a hotel with cabins and was very busy! So many people and we are definitely getting towards civilization as they have electricity and such (the other cabins don't). It also had wifi and a large lobby sitting area so there were tons of people on their phones and such using the internets. We didn't bring any with is so we just played cards. It was nice having an electronics/internet break. On to the photos from day 6!




We could watch the clouds coming down from the valley we walked down the day prior. They just kept rolling through

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Final Thoughts

That is it for our Iceland adventures! I wanted to post one last wrap up just to say a few things I didn't put elsewhere, or organize my overall thoughts in one place. 

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Ferry home - Tórshavn

The boat home was just as smooth and uneventful as the ride to Iceland. We left Iceland at 8pm Wed, Thurs at 3pm we arrive in Tórshavn and had a few hours to wander around, then back to the boat for the night, Friday was at sea, and Saturday we arrived in Hirtshals at 11am. 

Krabi Town, Thailand - Day 2

Our second day in Krabi town was just a half day. We had until 2pm to hang out and explore before we headed off to Phuket. We got up early and went in search of breakfast hopeful that some of the places that were closed the night prior would be open - and luckily they were! Well a lot were still closed, but the best looking place was open so it was perfect. Raymond's plate of food   And mine - only $1.25! Such a steal and super delicious. We both had rice noodles and yakisoba and ham log, and Raymond got some greens and I tried a curry looking thing with lots of weird vegetables I had never had before. It was pretty tasty, but it was a fish curry with mock fish in it and well I have never been a seafood fan so probably not my best choice. I just went by what things looked like since I don't read Thai.  After lunch we went to explore Wat Kaew Korawaram up on the hill.  There was this abandoned park along the stairway up to the temple with wild animal statues
