Moving to Kirkenes

[Dinner]

I must say your family looks very Norweigen.



Those are nice pictures of Kirkenes. Now what I want are pictures of those giant king crabs, especially ones which have been boiled and then slathered in butter. :drool:

[Dinner]

Hey, your neighbor looks kind of hot. To bad some other guy got to her before I did.

How about some more pictures of the town itself? I'd like to see what the living conditions are like in the artic circle.

I think we can arrange that.

Actually, my wife is very American, but thanks anyway.

I wonder of the Russkies have the same kind of signs on their side of the river

The Norwegian military's "research vessel" Marjata stopped by a couple of nights ago. She came in late in the afternoon and was gone the next morning. I didn't take any pictures...

Well, it's been a long time... I've seen the Marjata here 2 more times since late August - and a lot of Russian trawlers. Went and got some crab last week - yummy! Didn't buy it from the Russians though - a Norwegian boat took us out on a "crab safari" thing. Winter's here now. We had a snow storm last night that left us with a couple of inches of the white stuff. Supposedly it doesn't get all that high on the flat ground here because the wind keeps blowing it away. We still have daylight from around 7 in the morning to about 4:30 pm / 16:30. In another month or so we'll be completely out of sun for the rest of the year. I'll post some pictures again in a few more days. Now I'd better get some sleep - it's been a long day.

Darkness 24/7, that´s sweet...not! Keep the pics coming

[Spiffor]

Wow. Several inches of snow already? It's still 20C here in Paris...

We got 4 inches a couple of days ago.

[Dinner]

It rained here last weekend. That's about as close as we get to snow. :P

[Gangerolf]

So.. I heard that there are a lot of hot Russian single mothers in Kirkenes. Is that true?

[MOBIUS]

Hey awesome pics and great adventure, Guardian!

I don't know if they're single or not - I'm off the market myself so I tend not to investigate such matters - but yeah, I can confirm that there are some pretty hot Russian ladies here. Norwegian and Finnish ones too, by the way.

My apologies for being slow with those new pics I promised you. I'll get them out some time this weekend.

Rather terrible finnish in that sign...
