Through The Porthole - Day 7

On our way to Alta today, but we won't arrive until 3pm, so this morning's view is of the mountainous coastline somewhere close to Tromsø (where we'll be calling in on our way back down).

Although Alta has a pier, for some undisclosed reason we're not using it, so it's another day of tendering and, for us, another day of nope.

The late arrival makes for a very shifted day. The visit to the Northern Lights Cathedral (which we would have done) doesn't start until 5pm, and the "Northern Lights Chase" (which we wouldn't, lol), where intrepid chasers move from place to place seeking out the best location from which to view the Aurora, leaves at 6.45pm and doesn't get back until 15 minutes before midnight.

Those mad enough to sign up to both the Chase and the dog sledding don't even have time for dinner. They jump straight out of the dog sleds and into the Chase vehicles. Some people have way too much energy.
