Michael drove us down this valley which follows a long Fiord and river.
 
 
There was a sign to a bear's house so we followed a path for about 800 mts through the woods which bears definitely defecate in as I trod in it!
 
 
and this where the bear lives..........I think he was out
 
 
Equally impressive was the ant nest.
 
 
There was a reindeer in the wood but I couldn't get close enough for a photo. However the previous day we had passed some on the road which were not so shy.
 
 
There was a large botanical research station which had an exhibition explaining about all the wildlife.
 
 
There was also a colourful garden
 
 
and lets me finish again with ..........................a church!
 
 
which was near the research station.
