Day 4

Woke up at 6.30 and had porridge. At 7.20 we crossed the artic circle. Went onto a snowy windy deck to take a pic then went back down to finish breakfast. Only a glimmer of the northern lights last night but we blinked.

Day 3 Had a full breakfast after waking up at six. Sat within an earing's diameter of Pat Butcher. Her out of eastenders. Fell in the ice. Visited Trondheim Cathedral. No Northern lights yet

Highlight of the day. Only managed two pieces of fruit for breakfast - bit choppy. Had a hot chocolate and bought two Viking fridge magnets in Alesund.
