Day 5 – Tromsø

We arrived into Tromsø in the early afternoon so had the whole morning to potter around the ship. As much as I was desperate for a lie in after the 2am bedtime, I was still up at 8:30 😣

There was beautiful scenery this morning so spent a fair bit of time out on deck. The sun was shining, the sky was blue and the air was crisp. We even had time for a game of Scrabble whilst watching the world go by.

Tromsø is unfortunately another city that is undergoing transformation and therefore has lots of diggers, cranes and rubble about. We headed for the Fjellheisen cable car to get the best view of the city. The advice was to take the bus so obviously we decided to walk. I cannot describe the cold and the wind to you whilst walking over the bridge; it was beyond anything I have ever felt. The top of the mountain however was a light breeze so we were able to enjoy the views without being at risk of hypothermia. It was incredible and something I would 100% recommend if ever you come here. We even saw an Eagle in flight! The Arctic Cathedral is also very striking as the sun is going down.

It’s very cloudy tonight so I’m not holding out much help for another Aurora display like last night, but just in case the Nikon is all set up and ready to go.
