He was checking his app at dinner and asked if we wanted to skip desert as the conditions would soon be good (per the app). We all agreed and saw some spectacular lights! Even though it was early October and we were dressed warmly the winter suits he let us use were very welcome. As was the hot lingonberry tea!”
