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:




Break time




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

The final days in Paris

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 ...

Campervan Adventures in Iceland: Day 11 - Kerid Crater & Reykjanes Peninsula

Day 11 our first stop was Kerid Crater. This was nice, but nothing special. You have to pay to get in, you can walk around the top and then down to the water, but if you are going to be seeing other craters then this is an easy one to skip. Nice, but nothing special. 

Stupid Libraries.

So I only have six minutes left and just wasted a few seconds letting you know, but I need some assistance in getting things off our iPod onto the net. In the last town we were in, I came so close to getting it up only to be thwarted by the only damn cd -burner in the shop being broken. This is the problem: my iPod is mac formatted - the folks at Apple thought it would be hilarious to not include some sort of compatibility between windows and mac versions of iTunes to read the voice memos you record from any computer. If your iPod formatted on a mac (I believe it's HSF +), windows iTunes will tell you to reformat the buggar . And get this, the iPod records voice memos in old school PC style wav files. What the hell. Anyway, I can't test or install things on this library computer, but if someone checking the blog who is tech savvy could find a program to retrieve data from a mac formatted iPod from a windows machine - a program that doesn't use a god damn install ...
