The Northern Lights No-Show

... the hotel. They reminded me of you, Ruth and your Mum :> !! After a small walk to see if there could be any sign of The Lights, we retired to bed.
Spurred on from the previous night, we paid a visit to The Tromso University Museum where there is a section on The Lights. With our bus day pass we explored the island going to their beaches, botanical gardens, ski-jump and later on in the evening we decided that we would go searching for The ...

Tromso: Not For the Trolls

... the occupation army searched them out. Just about every town or village of any size in the Tromso region and Finnmark seems to have some type of museum so that no one forgets.

Now, as we head towards the North Cape, the wind seems to have a bite which would make some sense.

The fish and quality of it in this part of Norway is just superb. I am in seventh heaven given the flavourful cod, salmon, flounder, herring and mackeral.

Tromssassa

... on erilaisia jäämeren kaloja ja hylkeitä. Kävimme sisällä, mutta eläinten ruokinta olikin paljon myöhemmin, joten päätimme lähteä kävellen katselemaan keskustaan. Kaupunki vaikutti oikein miellyttävältä, etenkin kun oli todella lämmin ja tyyni päivä, varmaan kesän lämpimin päivä... Näin Jäämeren rannalla. Luultavasti antoi hieman väärän mielikuvan kaupungissa normaalisti vallitsevasta säästä ;)

Etsimme jotain ruokapaikkaa, mutta se yksi hyvän oloinen paikka aukesi ...

The Dance Of The Spirits

... it was a money exchange desk. We looked around, walked around and all we found it was a 7 Eleven store at the corner next to the arrivals hall; some car rental service desks at the opposite, minibank automated teller machines (ATM) next to them, a tourist information desk and some unknown service desks located at the back. We bewildered if the money exchange desk was not open yet. We walked to the tourist information but were ...

Tromso

... foot of not so compacted snow, being snowed upon by millions of fresh shiny new snows which fell constantly all day. For someone who has spent the last four or five years up in the tropics this was a pretty awe inspiring thing. I love the snow, and couldn't wait to **** danny off by throwing some at him. We decided to take a bus into Tromso town and have a look around. Our hotel was out by the airport on the other side of the island which the town of Tromso inhabits, and the ...

12 hours on a bus

... would be to the airport. The girl said to ask a taxi driver. We spoke to a guy that said 200 at the most and he didn't think that the airport was open overnight so that was it. No sleeping at the airport for us. Cabins were good and we caught the taxi at 0530 to the airport which ended up costing 235kr leaving us only about 20kr for the 4 hours wait in Oslo but oh well.

Sightseeing in Tromso

... looking for souvenirs, a sporting goods shop, and a circular polarizer. This was our last full day in Tromso and we wouldn't have time to shop the next day. We went to several souvenir stores and two sporting good stores. We found souvenirs, but the sports shops were a bust. Madison wanted a travel wallet and I wanted a water bottle. The only water bottles I found were aluminum and about 60 NOK. We grabbed some lunch quickly at a ...

Hello Tromsø!

... It is so much harder than I could ever imagine! Driving on the left is so second nature that every intersection I came to required a 'stop and think' approach. The scenery here is also so distracting - every vista looks like a postcard or a picture you'd find on a Lindt chocolate wrapper! We went for a drive through some lovely country, saw reindeer and beautiful snow ...

Rack and Ralls!

... mins) that leaves from Oslo central train station to Oslo airport but we'd decided to opt for the ordinary train which only takes 10 or 20 minutes longer and costs half the price (82 NOK single ticket). At Oslo airport my bag was searched at airport security, everything out then back in again, kind of annoying but reassuring too. Our first flight took us to Tromso, a small airport, outside a thick layer of snow covering everything. We had a seven ...
