This weekend we went to the Red Cross-cabin in Reindalen, which turned out to be a rather large, and very nice cabin.
Reindalen is the biggest valley (widest/longest) on Spitsbergen, and it is huge.
Naturally, the valley being named "Reindalen", we saw plenty of reindeer.
We did a tiny bit of sunbathing. Here´s our visitor Hanne lounging on top of her snowmobile.
We went skiing,
And we built a snowwoman named Roberta.
Alas, only seconds after the picture above was taken, Thomas (by accident) pushed poor Roberta´s head over - the photo below shows the extreme makeover that followed.
She was better looking before.
This may have been our last snowmobile-trip to a cabin this season, which is a little sad. The weather is getting milder, and soon it´ll become more difficult to drive through the valleys filled with melting snow.
Anyway, on the 17th of May next weekend we won´t be allowed to slip away, as Peter´s class has responsibilites at school during the afternoon. But I´ll definitely get back to you on that!

Hi there, I just found your blog and it is so interesting, I spent the whole morning reading it. Being a girl from the "Deep South" Atlanta, GA USA, your pictures and your lifestyle is so interesting and so different from mine.
Thank you for writing in English.
I will check in often!!

Thank you! Svalbard is definitely different from almost anywhere else!
I write in English partly because it´s fun, and partly because I want to share all this stuff with a wider group of people than "just" Norwegians. Welcome back:)
