    A "thank you" kiss for welcoming us to Honningsvåg, Norway.
    Mui hangs out with the "old guy" at the pier — Honningsvåg, Norway.A "we are in Honningsvåg reflection-selfie" with a troll and Nautica — Honningsvåg, Norway.Bamse, the "WWII Hero Dog" of the Norwegian Navy greets us @ the pier — Honningsvåg, Norway.

    Welcome to Honningsvåg (Norway)

    18 juillet 2019, Norvège ⋅ ☁️ 46 °F

    Our ninth port of call ... new-to-us Honningsvåg, Norway ... where we were greeted not just by trolls, but also by Bamse, the Sailor Dog.

    [The story of Bamse is at this link:https://dogs-in-history.blogspot.com/2017/02/ba….]

    Like Hammerfest, which we visited on the northbound leg of our cruise, Honningsvåg claims to be the northernmost city in Europe. I looked up the latitudes and indeed Honningsvåg might have a slight edge ... thanks to a loophole that allows any place that has a population of at least 5,000 to consider itself to be a city.

    VoyageurFunny how cities and towns always want to claim the biggest, best, farthest, nearest....any claim to fame will do. I didn't realize that trolls were a particularly Norwegian thing until your stories.
