Today we went back to Bodø. When I woke up early, I had a message from Virgil. “Breakfast is an hour later. I had to work tonight and need to get some sleep.” No problem. So I stayed in bed a little longer and then packed my suitcase before having the last breakfast together. Virgil … Read more
The dock of the transfer boat to the Svartisen glacier was slowly filling up with people. There were a few Spaniards, a German family with a 5-year-old son, 2 German students and a few Norwegian families. From the jetty we could see a wall of fog on the sea. I hoped that there was sun … Read more
