Schools out forever! My exams are all done. And they went okay! So now I can finally update this blog and edit some videos together. Starting with my trip to the East coast, which was all the way back in April.
We drove to the East coast on snowmobiles, which was a little daunting at first but the controls were easy once you got used to it. I shared the driving with Brandon, and I think it was more fun to be a passenger and watch the scenery go by! At first the weather was pretty bad, but we drove through it and it became a clear sunny day.
We stopped off at a few locations: one was to see some glacier ice, which was a lovely deep blue colour. We chiselled a bit off to have in whiskey later.
Then we stopped for lunch in the middle of a large flat area so no bears could sneak up on us. The blue on the cliffs looked almost like graffiti
Then we stopped at the coast and looked out for bears. Not before I nearly toppled us though, and then got us stuck. It's quite hard to go uphill with two people to a snowmobile as the weight isn't very well distributed, as I learned. I sort of did a wheely and then veered of course as I tried to stay upright. The guide and everyone else disappeared for a bit and then we really hoped we wouldn't see a bear. Chris took this photo of us... bit embarrassing. We had to be dug out.
Anyway, we survived and took a break, and then after driving on the sea ice for a bit started to head back. This was my favourite part as we were on a long, flat bit where we could go really fast. You couldn't see anything for miles except the white snow and the blue sky and it felt like the end of the world. Eventually we came to a frozen waterfall, and took another stop there.
We got home tired, cold, and with terrible hair, but it was a great day and I'm really glad I went.
As ever, a little video of the day! I really hope youtube doesn't notice the copyrighted music...
Just to say, no posts recently as exam season is officially here, and so I am my bi-annually stressed self. But not for too much longer!! in 12 days I will be free from my degree.
