We arrived in Tromso at about 2:15 pm.....From November until January, Tromso and the other Northern most places are in total darkness. I thought it might be an exaggeration, but oh my gosh no....it isn't.
When we got off the ship, it felt like midnight! It was only just past lunchtime really. The sun will not rise again until January 16th in Tromso. I bet they have a massive party to celebrate!
We walked across the bridge in Tromso at that is 1000 meters in length. (and uphill a lot of the way!) That took us to the very new looking catherdral....very modern design and the monkeybear jury is out on whether we liked it or not, The walk was ace though.
We walked back across the bridge and then mooched around the town, looking in a few shops and generally enjoying the night time feel, despite the fact it was only mid afternoon!
We are all three of us now enjoying cocktails in the ships bar....the first time we have had a drink on the ship because the price of ANYTHING in scandinavia is enough to make anyone weep.
Little little is still planning her revenge on king neptune for the ice cube thing......
