We have two big trips scheduled to tell you all about! The first will be over the July 4th holiday weekend to the company cabin near Sirdal. We will leave on Thursday evening and drive up, staying until Sunday afternoon. There will be lots of hikes (including a special surprise hike for you all) and some fantastic scenery (we hope!) Pray for good weather!
The next trip will be a nine day trip above the Arctic Circle! The itinerary is as follows:
July 17 - Stavanger to Tromso (farthest northern university)
July 19 - Tromso to Hammerfest (farthest northern city in the world!)
July 21 - Hammerfest to Kirkenes (near Russian and Finnish border)
July 22 - Kirkenes to Honningsvag (northernmost point of Europe)
July 23 - Honningsvag to Bodo (just north of the Arctic Circle)
July 24 - Bodo to Narvik (site of significant WWII battles)
July 26 - Narvik to Stavanger (home!)
So we will have lots of pictures of reindeer, the indigenous Sami people, glaciers, maybe even a polar bear! And we will experience the midnight sun the entire time (that means eyemasks for sleeping for everyone!)
Finally, we are attending a pastry making class at the apartment reception kitchen tonight. It is to be taught by a French chef from one of the hotels in town. We are looking forward to some nice treats and a good opportunity to learn, and may even take a few pictures to share.
