As we ate and relaxed, the ship cruised to St Johnsfjord, where after arriving at half ten, we dropped anchor for the night. Meanwhile, in the bar, Kieran and myself drank whisky as we scanned the slopes of the fjord for signs of polar bears.

At quarter to eight, we went down for our buffet dinner. Vegetables, salad and other nice freshly cooked stuff. We sat next to a nice Turkish couple and we had a pleasant meal talking about travel and trips we had taken, also the political issues our respective countries are going through

We sailed, and as we left the fjord, the phone signal got weaker and weaker until it faded away, which is how it will be for the next six days or so. Anything might happen and we wouldn’t know.

So, in groups of ten, we clamber and stumble aboard the rubber boat, then hang on for dear life as they whisk us over the sound to the waiting ship, where we climb up to the landing platform, and then up the steps to deck.

And back to #Svalbard:
We whiled away half an hour or so, making two pints disappear, but by then it was time to go to pick up the buss for the short run to the quay, where we were to board the zodiacs to take us out to the ship.
Yes, you read that right.

We were given an hour and a quarter, so I went to find the church. Which I did find, or see, but the bridge to it had been washed away and the detour would have been too long.
