Fri 24.9 Tromsø - Reisadalen

Switch between rain and clouds

We really liked Tromsø and would love to come back here again. Now we're heading back into nature, we've rented a cabin in Reisadalen without electricity and running water.

There is a viewpoint with a view to the south over the entire valley with the Reisa River and slopes with tree growth in magnificent autumn colors, and berries grow everywhere. We only settle in with the necessary luggage, fire up the stove, and take an exploratory walk to gather berries.

Then it gets dark, we're on our own. As a luxury, there is a gas stove on which we first cook a nutritious stew. The lingonberries are processed into compote on the wood stove, for dessert twice. It is a very interesting experience to have to manage without the usual comforts. We are busy with vital activities such as chopping wood, stoking the stove, getting spring water from the tap, etc. After a few rounds of dice, we go to bed early.
