Weekend trip to Kapp Laila


This saturday, Karoline, Rico, Lisa and I decided to go to the UNIS hut at Kapp Laila just to get out of town and relax. We arrived on saturday evening & had a good dinner before we visited our neighbours in "Bikkjebu", a hut about 900 m away. On our way we saw great aurora!!

Fireplace

Rico, Karoline and Lisa gathered around the fireplace to get warm (it was rather cold with -20 deg outside, and at this point maybe -5 deg inside).

Even though it might not look that way - I did actually sleep really well :p

On our way back we checked Rico & Karoline's the foxtraps, but besides from one who had been driven over by Store Norske (THANKS!!!) they were still all standing and we did not get any foxes :S


My scooter :-))

On our way home



View of Longyearbyen from the top of Longyearbreen

After we came home, Lisa and I wanted to take some more pictures of Hjortfjellet, so we walked up to the top of the childrens playarea.

The hill of the playground was basically covered by pure ice with loose snow on top which did not exacty made it really easy to get back up once you slided down :D


Lisa in balance

Whops!

And down she went...


The reason for why we bothered sliding :-)


After we came home we were rather tired and chilled out a bit before we went to Jeffs to have Tacoes :-)) He REALLY knows how to make food!! To finish off a perfect sunday we had whiskey at Karlsberger.... Hmmmm Caol Ila :D
