Finnsnes Part 6 - Ferry trip to Tromsø

Instead of driving back to Tromsø, we took the Hurtigruten boat (on the MS Richard With), which was relaxing, and we even had some good weather at the start of the trip!

Finnsnes Part 5 - Trips to the cabin

We spent a lot of our time up at Siv's Uncle and Aunt's cabin, a few miles from Ket's house where were staying. a lot of fun there with people in the water, rowing and a bit of fishing (the one fresh water salmon I caught was too small to keep, though the girls kept the one they got), as well as barbecues for all of the extended family there. It was a very relaxed atmosphere, with the various members of the family with the children and cats and dogs all up to different things.

Finnsnes Part 4 - Senja Tour

On the Sunday, Siv's uncle Per hired a bus and took 10 of us on a huge tour of Senja, stopping off at many places such as with a friend of Siw's at Baltsfjord, as well as Husøy which was very picturesque with dramatic scenery. We stopped of by a sandy beach where I again went for a dip in the sea....only slightly less cold this time round!!! On the way home we stopped of to see the Senja Troll!!

Finnsnes Part 3 - Trip to Stangnes

We took a trip out to visit Ket's Daughter out by Stangnes, and as it was warm and sunny we headed to the beach nearby where I went for a swim. The water was aound 10 - 12C - FREEZING, as the movies show!! We also visited some relatives of SIW and saw the old house there, which is still used as a visitors cottage.

Finnsnes Part 1 - Arrival in Tromsø

We arrived in Tromsø and were met by Siw and Olav and headed back to our hotel to relax a bit. Later that evening we went up the mountain cable car (Fjellheisen) where we got a stunning view of the City. When we came down the mountain, we had dinner at the restaurant Skarven. The following day, before heading off to Finnsnes, we went to the strangely shaped Polaria centre to see seals being fed and watching the stunning panoramic movie about Svalbard. We also had time for a quick drink in the bar attached to the Mack Brewery.
