#10:
final night

Published at 17:59

It was a warm night and for the first time we slept without socks or a hot water bottle! We skied most of the day in poor visibility, often with a stiff wind from behind or flurries of snow or both. It was quite a surreal monotone landscape and we stopped often to take photos and remark on the reindeer, the valley walls or the beautiful snowflakes that fell on our mittens.

Lunch was gloomy and wet but warm and cosy.

We're now camped around 5km from the end of the road that leads up Adventdalen, the long valley east of Longyearbyen. Large snowy mountains lie behind us, their snowy ridges beckoning us. If only we had another day.

Tomorrow we return to the spoils of town. We could have done a few extra k's to make it into town today but we both wanted a final night in the tent together. This has been a wonderful experience for us both, Mardi is such a perfect travelling companion, and this final night has come around all too soon.

2024-06-25 09:49:37 Pakistan says: In addition to managing stray animals, Brampton's animal control services are responsible for handling wildlife encounters. Urban areas often encroach on the natural habitats of various wildlife species, leading to increased interactions between humans and animals such as raccoons, skunks, and coyotes. Animal control officers are trained to deal with these situations safely and effectively, ensuring that both residents and wildlife are protected. This often involves relocating animals to more suitable habitats away from human populations. Animal Control Brampton

2024-06-14 05:51:18 Pakistan says: No list of best recipes would be complete without mentioning a decadent chocolate cake. This dessert is a universal favorite, perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or simply as a treat. A good chocolate cake is moist, rich, and intensely chocolatey. The batter often includes ingredients like cocoa powder, coffee (to enhance the chocolate flavor), and buttermilk for a tender crumb. A silky chocolate ganache or buttercream frosting adds the finishing touch, creating a dessert that is both indulgent and irresistible. salchichas a la mexicana

Beyond the immediate financial losses incurred by victims of credit card fraud, there are broader implications for privacy, security, and trust in online transactions. The proliferation of stolen data on platforms like BriansClub erodes confidence in the digital ecosystem, undermining the integrity of electronic commerce and jeopardizing the personal information of countless individuals. brainsclub
