+Today were supposed to head out for wildlife sightseeing by boat in the morning, but due to extreme winds and weather the trip was canceled.
+
+The wind was so strong we had to struggle to walk to the main lodge for breakfast.
+
+In spite of the nasty weather, we had a nice day relaxing in our cozy room after breakfast. I was able to catch up on these blog posts and we had a nice midday nap.

+
+It's tough to tell from the photos, but the wind was absolutely howling and it was raining / hailing on and off.

+
+All in all, it was nice to have some downtime after lots of hiking and outdoor activities in the past week.
+
+In the evening we went down to the restaurant for dinner and then headed back to our room to hang out and watch for the northern lights.
+
+We stayed up late looking towards the north, but the stormy weather and clouds predictably put a damper on our views for tonight. We still have tomorrow night, so we're keeping our fingers crossed for better weather!
