The wind is still cold, but it has cleared up and even a bit of blue sky can be seen. Good conditions to start our exploration walk through Tromsø. We walk north along the water. In front of us we see the bridge to Tromsdalen and on the other side the Arctic Cathedral. The boats in the harbor are deeply covered in snow.
On the way back to the hotel, it starts snowing again. We warm up for a short while before checking in on the ship Finnmarken for the next 3 days. The longest ship of the Hurtigrute is big, has several restaurant and bar areas, and a very nice observation deck. It also has a heated outdoor pool and two Jacuzzis.
It is stormy and snowy outside, so the chance of seeing the Northern Lights tonight is close to zero. We first enjoy the delicious Arctic char from Sigerfjord in the restaurant and then make ourselves comfortable on the deck. We distract ourselves from the slight but constant rocking with a card game.
