17-18 November 2021

 I passed my COVID test with flying colors.  This morning we made the trip from Oslo to Longyearbyen and arrived to total dark (2 pm) and blowing snow.  Knock you over type blowing.  My travel companions:

Don will be here at KHO with me and Matt will continue on to Ny-Ålesund.  

I think the view, when you fly into Tromsø, is the prettiest I've seen.  

Once here, Jon and I walked up to the walk street to buy some food for our rooms.  I was absolutely successful.

When we returned to the guesthouse, there were two reindeer outside.  They're really not afraid of you but will walk away if you approach too close.  

Tonight we'll head to our favorite bar/restaurant for dinner.  Svalbar.
