Sydspissen Tromsø

... We caught the bus to the middle of nowhere and hiked up the highest spot on the island, where we sat drinking tea listening to the local radio, hoping for the show. 2 hours later we gave up just as the rain began to start again and a mist engulfed the spot that we were standing on. So that was the end of that. We caught the bus back and gave up for that evening. <I think I should mention that The Lights mostly appear during 6pm - 2 am ...

... are on tap, the matter of fact answer is: "There is no demand so why waste good beer." And, good beer it is with distinctive malt and hop combinations. The Spesialol was my favorite. At 62 NOK (a king's ransom at 5.5 NOK to the $C), a sturdy pint was handed across the bar. However, off license beer is not sold due to some Norge rule or law or tradition. I never did get an answer. So it is off to the supermarket 100 metres down the street to purchase any of six varieties of ...

... puolella. Suuntasimme sinne siis ja siellä olikin aika paljon karumman näköistä maisemaa. Koitimme löytää ostoskeskusta ja hetken pyörimisen jälkeen löydimmekin sen. Pyörimme ja ihmettelimme, kun ei tahtonut millään löytyä sitä kauppaa, et mihin kummaan se on voitu piilottaa... Täällä pitäisi olla yläkertakin, häh? Muutenkin tämä vaikutti jotenkin kumman pieneltä... Kunnes hetken päästä tajusimme että tämähän on TOINEN rakennus ja parkkipaikan toisella puolella on ...

... slowest the train had travelled since we had boarded it. We pulled into Karvic at about one in the afternoon... the station was pretty much deserted when it came to staff, and the only hint we had as to where to get the coach to Tromso was a small typed flyer on the wall in a different language, (I'm guessing Norse). We asked a few other travellers... who also had no idea what or where to go, and finally decided to walk up to a nearby sevice station and order a taxi to the ...

... the northernmost glass factory in the world. Unfortunately, they were on a break. Our final destination was Olhallen - the world's northernmost pub. There we had a very excellent beer and some stew consisting of mutton, potatoes and carrots all boiled together. It was really good. Lastly, we headed back to the hotel, gathered our things and headed to the airport to get to Trondheim and wait for our flight back home.

Firstly, I've gotta say, Norwegian air-hostesses are HOT! Well, that's not entirely true. The stewardesses on Scandinavian Air, let's just say that they must have a good EO policy. These were some of the oldest women I've seen working the air. They were however super professional and courteous enough. Norwegian Air hostesses on the other hand looked the goods, BUT their ...

... palace is at the top of a hill. The previous evening we'd seen a second hand record shop and we found it again today. It was called 'Rack and Ralls' and was pretty huge and complete with grumpy looking staff and eclectic posters, old speakers and a few second hand clothes. A proper record shop! We spent a while browsing through the records but didn't get anything. We had time to spare before our train to Oslo airport where we'd be beginning our ...

... coast road trip in a VW beetle with 2 girls in tow, got to Sydney, had a little bit of trouble with the locals, and got himself deported! And the thing he found the funniest was that he's a Brit and he got deported from a British Penal Colony. Ha! Hmmm.... Anyway, things started kicking off around 12am. It was weird, before that, it was just me, the bar staff and the Loony Geordie, then at 12am, suddenly the place got crowded ...
