There are honestly too many fantastic parts of the trip to be able to pick just one! We loved having the butterfly net on walks to catch interesting arthropods and inspect them! We loved star gazing with a cup of hot chocolate next to the fire while Dane told us traditional stories about the stars.
The walks we went on were so beautiful and off the beaten track. It really makes the trip being able to go and explore places where others haven't been.
It's a fantastic feeling... (more)Georgia Hall
