Viking Hotell 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 ...

... Lothar Rendulic to lay ruin to all of northern Norway as far south as Lyngen Fjord. Consequently, just about dwelling between Lyngen and the Russian border was destroyed and the people forcibly evacuated. The destruction included chopping down or blowing up some 31,000 telephone poles, the burning of barns and feed stock and the wholesale slaughter of just about every farm animal. The locals who chose not to participate in the evacuation fled to the hills and lived in caves ...

Heräsin aamulla joskus kuuden aikaan lokkien kovaan metelöintiin, mikä hiljeni hetken kuluttua, mutta sitten alkoikin autometeli. Ei, tänne ei jäädä toiseksi yöksi...<br>Pakkauduimme autoon ja lähdimme kohti Tromssaa.

First thing we looked for at the ...

Arrived 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 also means that there is sun 24x7. This was very cool at first, but soon it is totally disorienting. I have no idea what time of the day it is or what meal I should be eating. Sleep is best taken in short naps throughout the day as sleeping for an 8 hour stretch while the sun is up seems almost impossible! On Friday, I drove on the right side of the road for the first ...

... office was shut and there was no one around to help. With just a few minutes until our train left I did what any sensible person would do and began to panic. Then I composed myself and went to find someone who could save us, and found a ticket desk open where I explained and was told someone would come and help us. Back at the locker we waited for help to arrive and then - oh! - we turned the key! It opened! There is an airport express train (takes ...
