We were about half way through a movie when I casually glanced out the window. The sky was a vivid neon green. I double took and casually said to mum, "the lights are on." In an instant we had the window open and the chair half balanced on baked bean cans on the table; this was our makeshift tripod.
The nights sky was amazing. Neon green glows erupting from nowhere and gently spreading into bands and hooks in the dark sky above the snowy roof tops.
It was beautiful. Although I did get a bit nervous as I thought I saw voldemort's dark mark at one point. Poor old Harry's been through enough, he deserves a normal life with Ginny and the kids.
It was great to enjoy the lights with mum. Really nice to enjoy something so special with someone so special to me. We even skyped dad, woke him up and got him involved via Skype!
The next day we went out husky sledding.
Husky sledding was by far the highlight of the trip so far. There was not a fault to be had. The musher, Matt, was really nice. The dogs were beautiful, friendly and fun. We sat on lovley warm raindear hides and sledged through the gently rolling winter wonderland. With whispy clouds above us, picking colour from the slowly setting sun. There were snowy mountains in the distance as we quietly slid through woodlands, snowy meadows and over frozen lakes.
Magical.
We had now done everything we wanted to in the arctic so I got online to find a new adventure. The train from Kiruna to Narvic in Norway has been dubbed 'the polar express'. Due to the amazing winter scenes that unfold out of your window. That's good enough for me!
We hopped on the train the very next day to Narvik, Norway.
