Tromsø - 20th June 2006 - 23rd June 2006

After arriving in Tromsø and finding a place to stay (whcih in this case was on the floor of one of the classrooms in a local Catholic bible school - with their consent of course) we did what every self respecting Briton would do and headed straight to the nearest bar. The England/Sweden game was on, but after this was done with we stayed out for a few more beers and then we had had enough we headed home. It was very strange to find that in fact at two o'clock on the the morning of the 21st June 2006, as we made our way home, the light was so bright that you could be mistaken for thinking it was midday. Westood on the seafront watching the crazy seagulls as we soaked up the midnight (OK two am) sun and took in the view of the harbour. The 21 June 2006 is the Summer Solstice, but the forecast says there will be rain then and so we may not be able to enjoy this craziness then.
