Arctic conditions in our frozen camper

The ice at the window in the morning sun

The fog of the tea


The first nights in Kelowna were really hard. It wasn't just cold. The nights were frozen. We slept in the car but after the first 3 nights in a row under minus 15 degree Julex, Stephie and Benni went in the hostel.
I slept 3 other nights in the car. But then the temperatures fall under minus 25 degree. Unfortunately the heating doesn't work because the battery is an old one without power. The car is not insulated that means the car cooled out after 30 minutes. I felt frozen. I slept in two sleeping bags and worn thermo insulated clothes which kept my body warm. So I could sleep "well".
It was a crazy experience to survive by arctic temperatures. But after 3 nights I decided to went in the hostel too. The problem was not to sleep by the deep temperatures. The problem was the water and all the food began to froze. So I ate instead of kiwi kiwi ice. If I cooked a tea in the car you could saw only fog because of the heat. Everything together an exiting experience which I don't want to make again.

Greetings from Kelowna
