Today we took the road along Pokka again. This time is was cleaned of snow and the sun was shining. A big difference with last time we were here. Now we could see how beautiful it was. Offcourse we visited the little petrol station in Pokka again.
Same road different day
We found out that we left our drinks in the car overnight and as it is still freezing they all got totally frozen. So we had to find ways to defrost them.

These guys use the same roads
The second part of the road was also easier than last time because someone else removed the snow for us.
Today we had three other teams as company
Before we went to our cabins we visited snow village, a hotel built from snow and ice. Always amazing to see and Tanguy lives the ice slide, feeling a kid again.

After we saw every room in the hotel we had a very good soup there for lunch and then we went to the cabins.
Our cabin is really tiny, my feed are almost in the kitchen when I am in bed. But it had a private shower and toilet so that is nice for a change.

We had a delicious dinner made by the teams from Delft and after dinner we had the save drive drink at the campfire.
After the drink I decided to take a shower and go to bed early as I am still not feeling great. I just got out of the shower when I got a message “Aurora outside!”
So I jumped into some clothes and saw the Northern lights for the first time this trip. The picture is from a fellow raider because it’s hard to capture Aurora with a phone camera. But I did see it!

After all the excitement of the Aurora I am in my bed now and soon going to sleep. Tomorrow we have the pool circle ritual planned at Santa Village, so I need to be rested.
Good night.
