We’ve reached the world’s northernmost town! A town completely destroyed in WW2 with the graveyard chapel the only building left standing. We opted for a bus tour to enable us to see as much of the town as possible. We were taken up high for the best views of the town which is blanketed with snow (much like back at home!) Back on lower ground and we were taken to the ‘Struve Geodetic Arc’, a UNESCO World Heritage Site for astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve who determined the arc of the global meridian (all very sciencey!)
Other than that today has mostly been about sailing (and playing Scrabble) but we have stopped by some pretty fishing villages to pick up the fishy treats.
To brighten up our evening, we’ve just had a visit from two Norwegians to fix our rather stiff door 😉
