Well, it was soon time for afternoon tea, well we had to have a bite to eat before we braved the cold.
We then went back to the cabin to add the multiple layers needed to keep warm. If you even venture to this part of the world in winter the investment of good quality warm clothing meant for these climes is well worth it.
It was then time to go ashore to board the coach that would take us to our adventure
As we left the dock,the sun began to dip towards the horizon, and we began our short journey to the Wilderness Centre.
As we arrived and alighted from the coach, we were greeted by the howling of the Huskies, as they knew the arrival of the coach meant they would soon be on a run.
We were then split into groups, and taken to where we would board the sledge for our ride
Then we were off !!
It was at this point that I realised that I had the biggest smile in the world on my face, and it would just not go away :-)
If this activity is not on your bucket list, then stop reading this blog at once, and go and write it in your list now.
And so the 20 minute ride ended too soon, and it was time to alight the sledge, and say thank you to the dogs.
We were then given a talk by one of the staff, on how their dogs do not have a pedigree like the Huskies we know, but have a working blood line that goes back generations and generations .
It was then time for the Oo's and Ah's,yes it was puppy time , and I think the picture below says it all.
By now the sun had set, and there was a bit of a nip in the air, so all retired inside for coffee and cake.
And so to today as we sit in the Crows Nest as we sail in to Alta, you can see that we were treated to a snow fall overnight
