Off to Tromsø…

We were expecting a tough time but actually it wasn’t too bad, when we left the Jacuzzi at 16:05, it was mild and a slight breeze but by 17:15, we were in the middle of a real storm

We, happily, slept through most of it and at one point Lainey heard the call for an Aurora and headed out but it was only a little one. Later there was snow, quite thick and fast, but little remains onboard this morning

We’re on our way to Tromso, expecting to be there for 14:15, and have missed out 5 stops only calling in briefly to Sortland, Harstad and Finnsnes , having had a delayed departure from Bodø

Calling at Finnsnes to all accounts we looked as if we would hit the berth, phew! After a short stop we head off again for Tromsø on the Gisundnet heading under the Gisund Bridge. A very majestic bridge it is 1,147 metres long and opened in 1972. Shortly after this we pass along quite narrow channels, the scenery is really beautiful…Christmassy!

We have 4 hours in Tromsø and will be aiming to visit Magic Ice, Roald Amundsen Plaz, The Art Café and Nordnorsk Kunstdmuseum itRead more
