More vacation to come...

This week-end there was a blues festival in Longyearbyen. It was the 10th time up here in the "cold" North. Many tourists came from the mainland along with 15 bands from all over the world. The music was very good, although we only attended one night.

On Thursday Anna will travel to Copenhagen for some vacation and to meet friends. She really likes Copenhagen, while I am very reluctant to go there, as I have lived there for several years ;0) Any way I have to work, and Anna is without work so she has time ;0)

On November 9th we will meet in Oslo and from there we will fly to Edinburgh in Scotland and travel around in Northern England and Scotland. We are still debating where and how many places to see...
November 17th we fly back to Oslo and the finally to Svalbard on the 18th. It will be good with some more vacation and to other parts of the world...

Weather wise on Svalbard, it is still fairly cold, with temperatures between minus 8 and minus 18 degrees. The darkness is growing stronger and stronger and in 2 weeks time we will be at full dark-time here on Svalbard!

Have a good vacation! Sorry to have missed the last two entries w/o response, we were busy here awaiting the big super-storm, which in the end passed us by and went on to cause problems inland west and north and south, but not here - but the coast was/is still a mess.

Beautiful photos! We will be away for part of December but will have junior family here around Christmas. Save us some salmon, Anna!
