A little trip to Longyearbyen (Flight North)


Looking chilly in Oslo and I have to walk to my...

...Hotel


At last a sensible breakfast "thing that keeps things hot" - a glass window so you can see if what is inside still looks appetizing, hinged so you can open it and self-serve with one hand (the other holds your plate) and a drip ring so the condensation does not end up on the table top. 


Covered walkway back to the terminal

oops - it is warmer in Longyearbyen (78N) than in Bewdley (text from my neighbour says minus 17)



Flying "off the map" - this is my GPS struggling as we go further north


Welcome to Svalbard! (It is two o'clock in the afternoon)



No information on Alcohol* and no baggage


*it is rationed for residents - due to having been a mining outpost where there was very little to do on the weekend but drink and look out into the dark and then drink some more.
