Kirkenes

Arriving into Kirkenes and this is as light as it’s going to get it’s also the coldest so far, actually -11*

The Memorial is to the soldiers of the Red Army that liberated South Varanger during the fall of 1944, after four years of German occupation.

We took a wander into town and ended up at a cafe where we enjoyed ‘varm sjokolade og ca’ or, as we know it, ‘hot chocolate and cake’…yummy!

Heading back to the Nordlys we’re convinced the temperature has dropped considerably so grateful to get back and partake…!

We depart Kirkenes at 12:30 to start our return to Bergen

Take Note: Here you have a picture of the midday Moon, well 12:45 anyway!Read more
