Scandic Hotel Tromso Tromsø

... hotel. Yes, we had a hotel here! With our own room, AND a TV, not that we could understand most of the channels!<br> The following morning we had breakfast at the hotel then went to The Polar Museum in the harbour, where we saw lots of stuffed animals. They give you almost a books worth of information to read whilst going around, so we were there some time. In the evening we ate Spag Bol and chatted to some Scottish ladies who were also staying ...

... windows, unique construction, the organ belting forth, a seven person choir performing in the loft and rather bright lighting made me feel that I was one with my Maker...and perhaps I should stay a little while. However, other forces were calling.<br><br>The haven beckoning in Tromso was OlHallen (the beer hall) and the Mack brewery. This drinking establishment proudly boosts of being the most northern brewery in the world. You just don't drift into Mack's since access is ...

... 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 ...

Am on the stage of planning the trip set to durate 4 weeks into India.. Birthland of religions, cultural cradle and beyond. This is a voyage to discover and explore the soul, get ideas and new perspectives. Relax, be creative, philosophate, think - dream and live. Can't wait! :) <br ...

... 9:30 the next morning when we were well and truly reaching the northernmost parts of Sweden. There was snow and ice everywhere. and it was bloody cold! We were lucky enough to wake up just as we were aproaching the first mountainous region we had seen on our journey, and it was spectacular. There were enormous mountains capped with treeless, windy, white landscapes, and flanked with enormous pines, all looking precariously balanced on the steep rocky slopes. The train had ...

... was very cool - sort of like sheets of glacial ice on top of each other. Then, we did some souvenir shopping and have also had some more time to talk with each other, which has been good. Next, we walked over that big bridge you may have seen in previous pictures to visit the Arctic Cathedral (built in 1965) in person. This was very cool and is built with huge slabs that are separated with glass so that the exterior ...

... upon with the thought that people would buy groceries. In this situation, that is completely unrealistic, in my opinion. First, that would assume that our hotel rooms were equipped with refrigerators (a few are). Second, it would also assume that we had time to go to the grocery store. The first few days we were so busy that we barely anytime to grab food at a restaurant. Third, the city hopping is not conducive to buying groceries. Most ...

... theater where you can see a direct transmission of the opera of new-york in real time (their is only 4 or 5 movie theater where it is done) They invite me also in different of their friends house , where I ve did a different travel than to see museum and nice view: meet people and understand a little better the way they are living: definitely the way of traveling that I prefer.

... a little disappointing, so I'm hoping Norwegian beer is better, but my hopes aren't high. I order one (and get 2). Looks like beer, smells ok, I touch the glass. Its cold. I bring the glass apprehensively to my mouth and take a small sip..... IT'S GOOD!!!!! Things are starting to go my way. I get talking to an old fella from Newcastle (UK) sitting next to me. He's a sailor by trade but is working in Tromsø on heavy machinery ...
