Practically the end of the earth ... or at least it looks like it. We're waaaaaay up on the planet. Roughly a thousand miles from the North Pole which from here is only reachable if you get on an ice breaker. There's a good ice breaker joke in there somewhere but I didn't sleep well last night and am too tired to work for it. And as fun as that may so http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Norway/Nord-Norge/Kirkenes/blog-180329.html Day 32 Wednesday 7th. June Sunny We boarded the ship NARVIK at 10.30 and was given the key to our cabin. We thought of 6 days on board so we unpacked everything and did our washing so the place looked like a chinese laundry in a very short time 11am. Next thing the cabin crew were telling us we were not meant to be in the cabin until 1pm so pack everything up including wet washing because http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Norway/Nord-Norge/Kirkenes/blog-155959.html Day 30 5th. June 2006 Clear and sunny with mist over the mountain Flight to Kirkenes with baggage allowance 15Kg and hand luggage max 5 kg. We knew this before we left Perth so all was oK especially as we were wearing so much warm gear now. Well Kirkenes very different to the other places in landscape flora and people. Most shops were closed so not many people around at all so we went walkin http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Norway/Nord-Norge/Kirkenes/blog-155936.html
