Kungsleden Day 6

By



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

Fall is here!

So not a whole lot has happened since I last posted. On our anniversary we were going to go on the boat tour of Berlin, but it was rainy and overcast so we decided to wait for a nice sunny day to do that. We had a few errands to run in the morning and then Raymond said about going to a museum. I saw the natural history museum and since I loved the one in Denver we decided to go there. You walk into this big room with lots of fossils and Dinosaurs! They didn't have a lot of things - this was the main room and is maim attraction of the museum. It was a tiny place, and they were doing renovations on a lot of the other exhibits. Apparently it is famous for having the largest dinosaur skeleton in the world! They also had these fun viewfinder things you could look through and if you point it at a dinosaur it would show this animation that filled them in and then showed them running around or eating or whatever. I thought it was fun. There was also a large room of rocks and m...

By
Our last day in Den Haag we wandered around just a bit more First stop - the Antique and Book market The ground was all seashells Mondrian on the water by the government buildings We decided to get lunch at Cafe Zeta which was in Grote Markt where they were having a free music festival, Sinester. Though we were there on the last day which was the kids day. It was fun as we were sitting outside and at the stage people were teaching kids how to play things and DJ and stuff.  I got the Hippie Buddah Bowl (Bulgur, sweet potato, bald, roasted chickpeas, tahini dressing, avocado, black sesame seeds) with the Fennel mint pear juice And Raymond had the Apple Pear Ginger juice and the Veggie Roast Bowl (mushrooms, red onion rings, rocket, Parmesan cheese, olive oil).

The final days in Paris

By
Our second day of our museum pass we used to go to the Louvre. It so huge - we spent from open to close there and just managed to see everything. It is also very confusing how to get from point a to point b - so many stairs and up and down floors just to see the one floor....good thing I had Raymond or I would have wondered aimlessly forever (but by the end I had the hang of it). We started with the medieval Louvre, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Egyptian Antiquities. When we first walked in we were right behind a few tour groups, but somehow we lost them pretty quick and we able to walk around and brows without tons of people. I cannot imagine going during the summer when it is super crowded. I liked the different colors of stone on some of them After that we got some lunch nearby then headed back to look at the paintings Then my favorite part - decorative arts. So much fun pretty things. Replica of Napoleons apartment. Then ...
