Kungsleden Day 7


We awoke on day 7 to overcast skies, but it looked sunny where we were headed. We quickly hiked down below the tree line again and into the sun! You could see the clouds still up in the mountains, but down out of the mountains it was sunny and great. It was also kind of boring as we hiked along a lake but couldn't see it at all because of all of the trees, and the past few days were absolutely gorgeous. We didn't go that far and stopped about 2 miles from Nikkaluokta - where we catch our bus back to Kiruna. We found a great camp spot near a river so we sat down by the river for a bit putting our feet in once and a while (the water was freezing cold), and playing cards until it was time for bed. I woke in the middle of the night and you could see the moon and it was bright, but it was still light out like the sun had just gone down. It is still odd that it didn't really get dark dark. Here are the photos from this days hike:

The lamest meditation spot - the last photo is the view from the meditation spot. You could only see those lame rocks, and there is a lake behind them











The moon late at night over the river we camped by - see how bright it was out

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. 

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. 

The end

So it started raining on us for days and we cut out to come back to Seattle for a few days and wait for it to clear up.....and then Raymond decided he really did not want to go back out. So I at first was pretty upset cause I really wanted to get to Canada, or at least as far as we could while the weather was still nice this weekend. And I was feeling really like we were giving up for no reason. Like if one of us were injured or if I was hating it or something then I would have been better about it. But instead it was like the forecast called for gorgeous weather this weekend and we were just going to sit at home. I figured we could have at least gotten to the next stop and then only had one more chunk to do next year, but Raymond really didn't want to go back out so we decided not to. But hopefully by this time next year we will get the last 2 sections done, and maybe go back and do the section from white pass to snoqualmie as we went RIGHT by Mt Rainier and it is supposed to be g
