Tromso

Today was a travelling day where I go from one tour to the next. It took 2 flights (small planes) to get from Leknes to Tromso.  Over my past few trips I have got quite used to airport security screening & what is required: generally laptops out & boots off. This time boots were ignored but I had to take my watch off. Weird but true!  And in Bodo camera bags had to be open with all cameras & lenses out, laptop out. You remember how we used to have to have a zipock bag with creams, liquids & gels etc in it? Yes, all is still required here. I, as in my person, was tested/swabbed (god knows what  they were testing for) and when I got to my hotel I discovered that my checked luggage had also been opened and tested.
Coming from NZ, Norway is incredibly expensive, but Tromso takes it to a whole new level. My hotel room cost well north of NZSD400/night and is truly a shoe box.  Check this out!

If I had turned my bag sideways it would be half the length of the bed.
