Today we reached the turn around point of our journey in Kirkenes which is very close to the Russian border. The five Minnesotans took a bus tour that went to the border and they got to see an area where some of the locals hid out during the final stages of WW2 when the Germans were driven from the area by the Russians. Terry and Susan walked into town and toured an underground bomb shelter called Andersgrotta. The townspeople would flee there during the bombing raids-2,500 could pack in. They went through 320 bombing runs from the Soviets who were trying to drive the Germans out. It was an amazing place. We continue to have good weather and it has been sunny most days. We have stopped at many small towns as well as the larger ones. I read today that these towns have an average of 79 days where the sun never sets in the summer but also have 58 days in the winter when it never rises! That would be pretty tough for anyone who likes sun! Tonights dinner had venison as the main course-most of us agreed it was not the kitchens finest moment! But we are all well fed (too much so for some of us) so no complaints there. Tomorrow night we go to a midnight concert at the Attic Cathedral in Tromso which should be great. We will let you know how it goes. Have a good day!
