Early morning

Pingu and Momo-chan survived the night even though it was around 7 degrees Centigrade and quite windy. Momo-chan woke up at 4 AM and complained that it was cold so he climbed into Pingu's sleeping bag and fell asleep again. It was not as easy for Pingu to fall asleep again since it was really tight in the sleeping bag. They woke up at 7 AM and had a quick breakfast and then went home to warm up.

Marshmallows

Momo-chan ate one sausage and then moved on to the much anticipated grilled marshmallows. He even liked the burnt part best.

They borrowed sleeping bags from one of pingu's colleagues. Tonight they tried it out. Momo-chan kept saying tighter and finally he crawled into the bag completely.

Warm clothes, check!
