came back and we got this super<br />

beautiful midnight sun in<br />

the town. In April, the sun is<br />

always up, so it’s hard to relax<br />

when you have the sun shining<br />

all the time. Going to bed<br />

was for sure easy to cancel.<br />

The next days we stayed<br />

around Longyearbyen. We did<br />

just small trips around with<br />

the kites and snowmobiles. It<br />

was beautiful and windy conditions<br />

so we did not need to<br />

travel too far in order to have<br />

great experiences.<br />

Svalbard is an amazing place<br />

to be. I was so sad when<br />

jumped on the plane back<br />

home, but I knew it was time<br />

to return home. But on the<br />

way home, I knew I would be<br />

back next winter and with<br />

even bigger plans for trips up<br />

there. Now we plan to cross<br />

Svalbard from South to North<br />

with a kite. I am so looking<br />

forward to this and I hope<br />

we will succeed to make this<br />

dream come true.<br />

See you all in April 2017<br />

when the “Green Wind” team<br />

(Svalbard Snowkite Expedition)<br />

will pack its gear and<br />

travel across the total length<br />

of Svalbard, only using the<br />

power of the wind. I can’t<br />

wait!:)
