The Arctic Cathedral
Fisherman’s Statue in the main square
Tea time. The scones were very good.
Our last evening excursion to see the lights. Unfortunately it was cloudy, foggy and drizzly. So our guide took a picture of us in front of the fire he had built. Not a good use of 2.5 hours in about 5 F. Glad we had had so many successful times before seeing the lights.
