Through The Porthole - Day 9

Arrived in Tromsø while we were sat at breakfast. Our porthole view this morning includes the famous "Arctic Cathedral" (actually a Lutheran church) and the Tromsøbrua Bridge which crosses from Tromsøy island to the mainland across what is essentially an inlet of the Norwegian Sea.




It was an early start for the yompers this morning. Both the snowshoers and the cross-country skiers were off the ship and queuing for the bus as soon as the gangplank deployed at 9am.

We had a slightly more leisurely start. The Astronomy group were off the Planetarium at 10.15.
