Sunday, June 26
Another beautiful mild Arctic day, with stunning scenery around us as we docked. Being a Sunday the shops and museums didn't open until 10 or 12pm, so we weren't in a rush to get off. We walked around town, taking in a lovely wooden church, the Art Gallery and the Polar Museum. It certainly is/was a hard life in the arctic regions!
We have seen the locals attending church in traditional dress, and the kids looked very cute. The people here are very friendly and obviously proud of their heritage. It was forecast to be 20C today, but in the shade with the breeze off the snow capped mountains it was more like 12-15C!
Still another day of exercise in the clean arctic air, and some culture thrown in as a bonus!
