Excursion

The excursion was around Tromsø. We went by bus to the south side of the town. Buses took us around the city to various museums (the museums showed, amongst other things, Fritjof Nansen's and Roald Amundsen's Arctic travels) and the famous landmark of Tromsø, the church “Ishavskatedralen”. In the afternoon we had a barbeque of various local meats (reindeer, lamb and goat), as well as salmon.
