Trip to Tromso

Midnight: the sun is still shinning!!

Three weeks ago, with some other interns and a friend of mine from Netherlands we traveled to Tromso, the north of Norway. It was the first time for me to go up to the Arctic Circle. It was a nice experience to stay there for 4 and half days and to not see any dark night.
Now in Tromso it is the midnight sun, that means having sun 24hours/day.
Unfortunately it was cloudy most of the time we spent in Tromso... but at least we had the opportunity to see once the midnight sun! The sun was really really big and really orange!! Great moment!! and it was midnight!! :)

It was fun having walks at 3 am and feeling like 3 pm, or having BBQ at midnight or at 8am!! Actually we were a bit confused with the time... really strange having sun during the night...
YES, you can trust me, this picture has been taken around 2 am... it was so cold that he decided to make a fire in the middle f the night!! I love Norway!!

It was quite difficult to come back to Oslo and go to work the day after... try to adapt ourselves again to the day and night :D

But even now in Oslo, day are longer and longer... and I realize that the nights are not dark anymore... sunset around 10.30pm and sunrise around 4am I think!

Wonderful view from the plane back to Oslo!!
