Made it to the Arctic circle.

After a couple of days in Oslo which was great, especially the Viking ship museum, we have now flown up to Kirkeness just 16km from Murmansk and at almost 71 degrees north. Today visited the Ice Hotel which was very interesting but not sorry that we have a nice waym hotel room in the town to return to. Sleeping on a block of ice and paying £500 for the privilege doesn't work for us.


Sadly its snowing and not as cold as usual so chances of seeing the northern lights seem slim at best.
