A windy day

I think it always so cool to get windows covered with snow. Then I'm just feeling like to get a good cup of tea and have a cosy moment on our sofa.

It's always difficult to get out on windy weather, but when you finaly get out properly dressed it's not actually that bad. Then you can also see how beautiful it can be despite the weather.

Center of Longyearbyen, totally wind-blown.

A parking plot to our only grecery store was totally full. Easter is time for good food and there is always needed some ekstra for visitors and for to have a good cabin trip.

Easter under the blue sky

Little bit over five days in a cabin with blue sky, almost windless weather and pleasant temperature. What else you could be asking for an Easter celebration?

Our cabin we got on use was situated really nicely by it's own. 

It was easy to take some short walks around the cabin.

One of the best things on a cabin trip is late mornings with sunbathing - though inside a sleeping bag.

It's not getting anymore dark at night times. We had a perfect view from our cabin over the fjords. 

As you can see we weren't only ones who took a trip to the east coast.

Magnificent Hayesbreen. I think I'll never stop to admire those huge masses of ice.

A huge ice cave in a moraine of Rabotbreen.

Eskerfossen, a frozen water fall.

We had also good access for down hill skiing. From here it's about 7,5 km slope towards to a fjord. Not too bad to be skiing with this kind of view. We were using a snow mobile as a ski lift and because of that our dog needed to learn a new skill: to be sitting on the seat of the scooter. That was working just fine when he found out that actually it's pretty all right to be sitting on a scooter.

Usually we're transporting our dog with longer distances in a transport box on the sledge. I think that's safest for the dog.

Pyramiden

When we were already in Vindodden, was a trip to Pyramiden pretty much shorter than from the town. Pyramiden is a Russian ghost town, abandoned in 1998.

The centre of the town.

How you can guess we're in a Russian town...

Nobody is playing here again.

He's growing up beside the big (but empty) town.

Nordenskiöldbreen - the glacier you can see from the town.

Easter

We left to Vindodden on Wednesday before Easter. We drove with scooters, our friend used a dogsledge. It was really nice to leave town behind and enjoy the life in the cabin!

Vindodden is an area with cabins by Sassenfjorden.

We were pretty lucky with the weather, even though it got suddenly really mild.

We got some nice weather and small outdoor activities.

And some snow... Dogs totally covered with snow.

We were having good and relaxing time :)
