Hurtigruten; Thursday, 23 July, 2015

After a late night, you'd hope for a lie-in, but with three port calls in relatively quick succession ensuring a disturbed night’s sleep, and the final one being just before 7am there really wasn't much point in trying to get any more sleep so I got up and headed into breakfast.

After breakfast we sailed on further north towards our afternoon stop at Tromsø, making a stop late morning in the town of Finnsnes, which wasn't anywhere near as pretty as it was when it was four feet deep in snow.

Tromsø just after lunch as we hopped off to visit the Polaria museum and have a wander round town, finishing off with an incredibly expensive beer in a very nice pub overlooking the Hurtigruten pier before it was time to re-board and continue the journey north.

The procession of food continued with dinner being served just as we left Tromsø whilst the ship headed north into choppier weather, by the time the second sitting were getting ready for their dinner at 20:15 there was a distinct roll starting to go on.

We stopped briefly in Skjervøy, a 30 minute stop reduced to just 5 because of the delay from the choppy sea, before setting off again, at which point I decided to turn in for the night (though it's difficult to describe it as night when the sun never sets.
