Skolegata 24 Tromsø, Troms, North Norway, Norway, 9008, 47-776-21000
Our reasonings for coming this high were to simply see The Northern Lights, which I shall say now that we obviously did not! Although, we still had a great time here.
We arrived at 8.30pm at the bus station after a long journey once again. After locating the hotel, we dumped our bags then went in search for a supermarket, which seemed impossible at the time. A local pointed us in the right direction, so we grabbed dinner and went back to our hotel. Yes, we had a hotel here! With our o...
Since Bodo,the coastal express has steamed north in search of the elusive North Cape. The sea is quite gentle which is contrary to everything that I have come to expect from sagas regarding the savage Arctic wind. But, if one reads accounts of the plight of the Allied convoys during WW II. this bit of the North Atlantic is no cup of tea. On this voyage, though,we are blessed.<br><br>The weather has varied but remains moderate. This assumes that one does not mind the odd bit of ...
Tromsø, Troms, Norway ehjelter... kuin koirat. Ne oli suurimpia hylkeitä, niillä oli valkoiset paksut viiksetkin, joilla ne suunnistavat pimeässä. Todella söpöjä otuksia ja aika vekkuleita :) Lähtiessä oli pakko ostaa oma pehmohylje mukaan...<br><br>Katselimme ja ihmettelimme taas kummia kaloja ja muita otuksia. Jotkut kalat tuntuivat ulkonäönsä perusteella jääneen jonnekin dinosaurusten ajalle, olivat niin rumia, että olivat oikein komeita ;) Ja ihmettelimme, että liikkuuko muutamat niistä ollenkaan ...
Tromsø, North Norway, Norway sinilintu... Bryggen. He handed back the paper to me and said something which I really didn't understand. He told us to follow him to the van and he said he was going to take us to the hotel. Before I got in the van I asked him how much we pay for the drive. He<br>only smiled at me and said softly: "Please take a seat!" About 15 minutes we arrived at the hotel. The trip was free. The driver didn't ask us to pay for the trip. Awwww how nice it ...

Tromsø, Norway eilen... to the middle of town. We did this fairly easily, although it wasn't cheap, then spent the next two days resting up and enjoing a bit of a break from the non stop bussing and train riding. I did do a fair bit of walking arond town, and on one outing came across a place called "Arctica". This turned out to be an arctic museum, and had a huge aquarium full of Arctic fish and sea life... including the king crab, the biggest crab of all. These buggers grow up to a meter and a ...
Tromsø, North Norway, Norway jimborussellArrived in Tromso at about 1730 and went to the Radisson to ask about the airport bus, when the first one was and when the last one was. Last one was at 8pm and the girl said that the airport shuts at 1am. We decided to go for a wander and ask a second opinion. We found reasonably priced cabins for the night out at the campground and called the taxi to find out how much ...
Tromsø, North Norway, Norway leahandgreg... an Arctic discovery center. There we saw a movie on Svalbard. It was one of those 5-screen setups like we saw in Oslo. There were also live exhibits of seals, crabs, anemoneas, and fish. The seals were trained and some people got to see them being fed and trained. In the building next to the Polaria, there was a sealing ship almost fully enclosed in a glass building. The Norwegians like to enclose their historic ships in buildings. The ...
Tromsø, Norway amadhatterArrived into Tromso this morning to discover the whole town was like an ice rink, still amazes me how people manage to drive around, (although they do hace studded tyres for the ice). Could find a hostel or a cheap hotel under 50pounds which I was no paying but luckily met two dutch guys backpacking who said I could sleep on there floor for a night, which was hugly apprieciated and saved me alot of money. The town was so cold that there were ice sculptures in the middle of the high street.
Tromsø, Norway markwilliams84... so that I wasn't on my lonesome the whole time, and they turned out to be a very interesting couple as we talked about Gordon's trip to India, and Anthea's trip to Cambodia. They do a lot of volunteer work and speaking to them has reignited my desire to do something too, as they said that it really changes the way you look at life. I particularly enjoyed the last hour of the cruise because the clouds really did disperse, and we got a great view of ...
