Ny Alesund & North Cape






O.k. guys this is a little bit of a collage of photos. The photo of me on the radio is in Ny Alesund which is the closest town you can get to the North Pole. Honestly there was maybe 20 buildings. I was there on the path to protect passengers from DIVE BOMBING birds. They didn't want any passengers off the path otherwise the birds attack them. God was it funny to see all these old people running from birds going for their eyes ha ha ha! Really the only thing in this town is Reindeer, dive bombing birds and a few people there to do research. The light bluish building behind me is the most popular tourist attraction and that is the POST OFFICE.

The the picture of the man with the Reindeer and the baby Reindeer, that was out of Honningsvag and on my way up to the North Cape. We stopped at a Sami (native tribal) house and met them and their pet Reindeers. It was totally cool.

The other two pictures are from the North Cape, one being the posting showing our location and the other is scenic view from the edge of the North Cape cliff.

I've had a fabulous last cruise. Norway is beautiful and i've been so busy being outside experiencing as much as I could. Can't wait to tell you all about it.

What can anyone say except you have had a perfect year where you've seen every corner of the Northern Hemasphere. I love the photos of Norway. It must be a blast.

That top one was a reindeer? It looked more like a malnourished anteater on stilts. I guess they don't have deer-only burger joints up there...
