Day two of NW territories adventure



Day two was okay. Not as productive as i hoped. We returned to our hotel from aurora viewing at 1.30 and were in bed by 2. It was hard for us to get up early in the morning! We were up by 11:30 and out of the hotel by 1:30 ! It was too late to book any activity for the day so we decided to explore the town!
We walked around the tiny city of yellow knife! Saw princes of wales museum of aboriginal culture. I was impressed by the museum to be honest! It was too good for a lil town! It was rich with cultural and wild life things!!! So much to touch!!! So much to try!!!


This is the closest i got to petting a polar bear ha ha!!

We also found *drumsroll* IGLOOOOS!!!!!! Built beside the museum!! Omg omg omg omg omg!!! I ran like a mad woman towards em!!  Do u know how badly i wanted to see a real igloo???? Omg its so cozy and warm inside!!! Too warm for -30 C out there!!!!!!




After that, we headed to pilot monument where you get to see the whole of yellow knife city and then walked to the ice castle!! A whole castle made of ice!!! Its soo huge!! Too bad that it was not done yet


We had lunch at a local restuarant! Had very interesting walls!!! It had stuff written by visitors n it was ALL OVER THE PLACE!! Literally!!!








I decided to order something aboriginal so i went for the buffalos steak! Was too chewy and didnt really like the taste of it



Our second auroras hunt was also a failure! Although we extended our stay at the aurora village for 6hrs, there was no sign of it! According to the official website for aurora watch, there was a strong activity but no one saw it *sobs*
We got 2 more nights left and tomorrows weather doesnt look promising :( *pouts*


Can you see the ice cubes in that water bottle? They formed inside my bottle while the bottle was inside my bag while waiting for the auroras!!! This is how cold this place is!!!!!!
