The designated night for our official Northern Lights “search” is tonight. At 9:45 p.m. on a very chilly night, we boarded the tender and headed for a remote location where we would have excellent chances to “find” the lights. We are excited for this journey!

But after spending 3.5 hours huddling around the campfire in the chilly 28F (-2C) air, watching a few stars emerge, we got back on the bus and headed back to the ship freezing and wishing for a bowl of hot soup but ended up with spring rolls at 3am! I can’t say it was fun but it will certainly be memorable!

On our second day in Alta, we read, relaxed, and made future travel plans. Thanks to Cheri from Zoe’s travels, we were treated to a very lovely Italian meal at Sabatini’s. We had the greatest seat in the house and enjoyed our meal while watching delicate snowflakes fall.

Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands; move the seats, get the window cleaned, sit back and enjoy the views!
