We had a late breakfast today, but we were not the only ones - probably everyone is still feeling the late night from yesterday. Because we actually visited the narrow Trollfjord, that was an experience! You can read about it in the report for Day 5, as promised, I added a few sentences there ;-).
At a quarter to 10, our expedition team made another announcement: All hands on deck 7, Neptune, the God of the Oceans, will pay us a visit. I must say, they always come up with something new to keep us entertained!
The deck was already crowded when we arrived, our captain was also present. We had to shout "NEPTUNE!!!" loudly and then he appeared: The God of the Oceans. You can't see it very well here, but those who wanted to - or were too slow to run away - were obliged to participate in the Polar Circle Baptism. That meant: A large scoop of ice cubes in the neck and a large scoop of ice water over the head! Dad and I quickly found safety, but there were plenty who joined in. To the great delight of all onlookers, there was laughter and squealing everywhere on deck!
And when we came back to our cabin afterwards, surprise, surprise, there was actually a certificate for all passengers for successfully crossing the Polar Circle:
LOTS OF FUN: OFF TO THE HUSKIES!
We arrived in Tromsø at 14:30, the 'Paris of the North'. That's what the city is called because it has a rich cultural life, especially the famous Arctic Cathedral with its Midnight Concerts. Here you can see it small and white in the back right of the picture:
