Stuga Fever

The next week of our journey we spent staying in a cabin or "stuga" in Storlien. This is a little ski village and apparently where the Swedish royal family has their ski stuga. Ellyn and I went snooping around one evening trying to find it. ;-) Our stuga was very cozy, right on a little pond. Farfar took off a few mornings (once with Linnea) and caught us some little fish in the surrounding lakes. We spent much of our time outside enjoying the beauty of the mountains.

All week we took off on daily outings. Our biggest day was back to Norway to visit Trondheim for the day where we visited the Nidaros Cathedral and for dinner that night Matthew had whale steak!


Many of the days we went hiking in and around Storlien. We also visited the popular ski town of Åre where we took a gondola up to the top of the mountain and played in the snow. It was on one of these outings that we spotted our first reindeer.
