After learning about the history of northpole expeditions (crazy people back then! And I complain about the cold wearing perfect functional clothes) and visiting the Svalbard museum, we checked out the real wildlife. By the way: I learned that women could either shoot guns or do jazz gymnastics in my birthyear in Svalbard - very similar to home back in the 80'ies 😉
Went on a boattrip today. Perfect weather conditions, saw Pyramiden (a former russian city, now ghosttown), met a bearded seal relaxing from a polarbear fight and whatched the glacier and the moving ice - absolutely fantastic!
After Santas postbox and the northernmost church we challenged polar bears & attended the first Svalbard day - people from Svalbard sharing their regional food, result: haggis with Sauerkraut, scottish desert and loads of tea - why does Longyearbyens only supermarket sell Sauerkraut again?
Went cuddling dogs, use the binoculars some more, enjoying the sun and nice company + "became" svalbardians
Tryed to hike to the coal mine, but got scared because of the melting snow and stone avalanche. Did a walk across town and stopped for a moose burger, yummy
Leaving Svalbard to travel to Island. Sad to leave this overwhelmingly great tiny place on earth with a wonderful community. We will definetly be back
In Svalbard it is good custom to take off your shoes and leave your riffle outside, when entering a house (or a bank)
Alle Dinge sind hier die "nördlichsten der Welt" auch das Craftbeer. Und um als Local Alkohol zu kaufen, braucht es eine Permit. Zwei Kisten Bier und 2L Schnaps/Monat - mehr gibts nicht! Wein kann man allerdings Literweise trinken; soll ja gut fürs Herz sein
Was ist cooler: Snowmobil oder Fatbike? Woher wissen die Eisbären, wo die Polarbear-protected-zone anfängt, die in der Straßenkarte eingezeichnet ist? Und mist, ist es Feiertag oder nach 18:30, da man grad keinen Alkohol kaufen kann?
