Winter Wonderland

It's Cruise day. Catriona arrived last night in time for cocktails. The prediction for today called for sleet, but instead we woke up to a hinterland.

Look carefully at the hood.

Amazing Snowplow with hydraulic wings

Yesterday we walked up this street. There were no piles of snow.

Deb pretended to give the kicksled a try.

At 11:15 a bus came to take us to the boat. We boarded and very quickly departed Kirkenes.

Catriona & Deb found a spot for chatter.

Reception (of course, we needed help with two issues immediately)

Snack Bar - Coffee is free anytime, but you have to pay for snacks.

Lounge - where there will be daily presentations.

Now we're on the Spitsbergen we need to know where the Coastal Kitchen is.

And the Dining Room
