and also meet many really nice and friendly people. \u00a0We were in Oslo, Kirkenes, Vardo and Vadso. \u00a0To get to Kirkenes, we flew on Wideroe Airlines from Oslo and stopped in the cities of Tromso and Alta.\u00a0 The plane had to dive steeply to hit runways located between high mountains and the ocean. \u00a0Our plane tried to land twice at Kirkenes but could not land because of very dense fog so it backtracked to a small town called Lakselv and they put us on a bus. \u00a0Our bus drove us for several hundred miles to get to Kirkenes, and we saw the north coast of Europe from a bus &#8211; it was a good way to see some scenery. \u00a0We saw mountains, the Barents Sea, fjords, reindeer, other wildlife, but not many people.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>I scanned in and put in a picture from a postcard as it was view of an old fort in Vardo seen from the air that I could not take. \u00a0Vardo, Vadso and Kirkenes are all part of the county of Finnmark and are roughly 300 miles above the Arctic Circle &#8211; so it gets dark and stays dark all winter.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Most of my trip was with Brent and Brian. \u00a0John joined us
