Snow in Tromsø
So, Harriet and I went to Tromsø during the winter. Tromsø is way up in the arctic circle. It apparently snows quite a lot in the arctic circle, who would’ve thought!

Arctic adventure in Tromsø
Harriet Geoghegan and I travelled to the little city of Tromsø way up in the Arctic circle. I never thought I would travel that far north in the world, but it seems I was wrong!

Kiwis in Kiwi!
So I moved to the other side of the planet, and one of the first shops I see is called “Kiwi”!!! So I walk in, expecting to see nothing but Kiwi paraphernalia, sheep, rugby crap, buzzy bees etc. and what do I find? … groceries. Groceries, groceries and a few more groceries. Why do they call the grocery shop “Kiwi”? No idea. Norwegians are weird.
In semi-related news, the word “Kiwi” in Brazil refers to a homosexual man with excessive body hair, and in many other countries it is used to refer to “Kiwi fruit”.

Northern Lights
Harriet Geoghegan and I headed north to the city of Tromsø in northern Norway. Our goal was to see the northern lights, and we duly did 
At first this seemed unlikely as Tromsø was shrouded in cloud, but our friendly northern lights tour guide drove us most of the way to Finland in an attempt to find clear skies. There was still cloud, and apparently what light we could see wasn’t as bright as it often is, but sure enough we saw some green lights bobbing about in the sky as can be seen in the photos below.
Mental note: Take a tripod next time!
