Tromsø; Saturday, 21 July, 2007

I wandered back from the ferry to my hotel room, and had a nice hot shower to warm myself up and then tried, again fruitlessly, to get some sleep.

Several sleepless hours later I got up, had breakfast and headed out for another day in Tromsø. Sadly the weather was not playing according to the script. I had originally planned to book to go on one of the whale watching cruises that leave in the late afternoon, but the sea conditions were quite rough, and all the cruises had been cancelled. Instead I had a wander around some of Tromsø’s other museums. Stopping at the Art museum of Northern Norway, the Geological walk and Botanical gardens and the Tromsø museum before wandering back over to the Arctic Cathedral.

Here, unfortunately my sightseeing came unstuck, as it was closed for a wedding until late in the evening, so instead I headed back into town and had some dinner, before going back to the hotel to pack my stuff up ready for the following mornings journey to Finland.

Once again I tried to get some sleep, because by now I was starting to feel as though I was in some kind of drug induced state. I was totally conscious at the time of what I was doing, but appeared to have little, if any short term memory of what I had done a few hours later. The only way I can remember what I did visit is by looking at the entry receipts and guides to the various musumes and attractions I had visited.
