Weekend in a cabin

We're not owning a cabin, but it is possible to borrow them, if you're living here. For us meaning to be staying here in Svalbard is to enjoy nature around us. So, we like to borrow different cabins around and spend some time there when it's possible. A cabin we borrowed doesn't have electricity or water, but we needed to carry with us wood to warm the cabin up and we also carried some water, so that we didn't need to smelt that from a snow. It took about three quarters to walk to the cabin from the car, so that's actually pretty reasonable distance to carry things. We haven't yet taken our scooters on use - there is a risk to break it when to snow cover is that thin as it's now - so that's why we needed to carry our things to the cabin. Later, when we will have our scooters on use, trips will be much easier.

It was really nice weekend. We had around -14 degrees and the sky with bright stars and northern lights was just fantastic. And as we turned time to wintertime between Saturday and Sunday, we got an extra hour to sleep. That was nice too :)
