... what i've been up to today!
but first things first, a new blog post on here is the sign of the end of this summer's field trips. well, almost, i'm still up on svalbard (and it's snowing), but i'm back in internetland. we got back to longyearbyen on saturday, in time for birthday celebrations in town for one of the guys from the cruise, and slept through most of sunday as a result of that...
today, before the snow arrived, i had to get out though, get some fresh air and excercise on land after almost six weeks on the ship. while in longyear, i'm staying over at a friend's aka the northener, and he, two other friends of his, and i ventured out on the hills around town on a - here it comes - hunting trip! yours truly, the so totally not meat eater, joins a hunting trip! they were after ptarmigans and while i was of course hoping that the birds would stay away, they found plenty. no wonder, the birds were so stupid that they came flying back after being shot at!
tomorrow, i'll leave this amazing island and fly southwards. all the way to tromso for now. pics from the last two months up here will appear here soon, i promise, but it might take me until after hawaii.... life is hard....
