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 Bavaria: Eibsee & Bremsee & Fungi

The next day we woke up and it was quite cloudy, but we still headed off to hike around Eibsee. 

Colmar, France Part 2 - All the museums!

So when we were wandering around Colmar and spying on all the things we saw a sign that we happened to be in Colmar on a free night at the museum! So most of the museums in town were free from 7pm-11pm/midnight (depending on the museum). So we of course had to go check them out! There were only four in town so we were able to go to all of them, though by the end we were so tired and our feet were so sore from a long day of exploring and long night of museums.  First up was the Museum Bartholdi, but I didn't take any photos in there (I wasn't sure I was allowed and it was super busy, so many people!). It was super tiny, but interesting. There were a lot of models of ideas he had for different monuments and then what he actually ended up using. The one room was just ideas and designs for the Statue of Liberty which was cool. There wasn't a lot there, but what there was I enjoyed.  Then it was over to the Natural History and Ethnology Museum Cool bugs

San Francisco Part 1

  Oh San Francisco. What a wonderful time I had there. It was absolutely beautiful the entire time. Sunny, warm, gorgeous. Plus getting to spend a few days with Jacalen and Patricia = So much fun! We definitely need to do more girls trips! This will be a mostly picture post   I arrived late afternoon and the bus dropped me off near Fishermans Wharf and I walked over to where we were staying. Oh, it was gorgeous outside, but with my bags and such I was a bit warm. Not expecting that in February! Patricia arrived a bit after I did and we had the evening to ourselves to do whatever we wanted! It was so nice out and we were staying in the Marina District so it was just a short walk down to the water. Beautiful!   After wandering along the waterfront for a bit it was time for some dinner! We happened to find the Plant Cafe and I got a plant burger with fries and a salad. Really tasty! Afterwards we went to get a drink and noticed the bar had trivia on Tue
