Longyearbyen

16.-18.6.2006

Pipsa and I went to celebrate our 7th wedding day to romantic Longyearbyen, Svalbard. It is 1200 km from North Pole and only due Golf Stream it's possible to live there. Longyearbyen was suprisingly active place with close to 2000 inhabitants. There are a lot of young families and children, as well as two international class hotels. The scenery was breathtaking and one could really feel the power of the nature. In summer time the day was endless, only the direction of the sun indicated whether it was day or "night".

Great place to visit!

Wow - this is travel! Looks an amazing and remote place. Congratulations on 7 years - did they play Park Life at the hotel? :)
