Me, Karen & Rosie on a trip to SvalSat as part of AB-203 Arctic Environmental Management.
UNIS last Thursday enjoying the first hour of sunlight!!
Rosie & I got chatting to a local guy in Svalbar (Longyearbyen's very own Markie Dan's), when he found out Rosie was Scottish he asked if she could play the bagpipes and Rosie quickly responded 'yeah of course I'm Scottish'................much to Rosie's surprise ten minutes later the guy returned to the bar with his own set of bagpipes!! Needless to say the guy wasn't impressed when he found out Rosie couldn't infact play and he'd spent money on a taxi to go and collect them from his house!!
The weather has been pretty mild the past week but the forecast is predicting temperatures will be dropping to -29 on Friday, so I'm sure we'll have to get topped up on plenty of whiskey at Friday gathering to keep us warm before the long walk back to Nybyen!!
