Longyearbyen to Oslo to Reykjavik

---

Transferred off the boat and then bussed a couple of km to the heart of Longyearbyen. Jumped onto wifi to skype the kids which was fun. They seem to be doing well without us! We had only had very limited email for the week on the boat. With four hours to kill, we walked into every shop ion Longyearbyen TWICE. Donna satisfied her need for tourist tat. Friends and family – prepare yourself for the surprises she has in store!

Longyearbyen to Tromsø. If you are wondering what the ø does in Tromsø it turns the last syllable into an “oo” sound, roughly rhyming with Trom-Sue. Tromsø to Oslo then a 3 hour wait. Oslo to Reykjavík, which is a 3.5 hour flight, landing at 10.45pm. It was PISSING down in Keflavik and Reykjavik. Torrential, and of course security prevents the bus from approaching the terminal.

Upon arrival in Reykjavik (a 50km drive from Keflavik), we have a light supper and as much as Andrew wants to go out and about, the weather stops that from happening.
