The bar

Kirakka!
We really liked this name. We even thought about naming our next dog "Kirakka" but when it came down to it we thought maybe it was…

Cabins
All of the cabins were sold out when we were there but we hardly saw anyone except for meal times.

Close to the lodge
We were happy we were so close to the lodge. For dinner we could walk over there without having to put on so many layers.
