Snowmobiling in The Lyngen Alps was a vibe!
•basecamp took us to the start for some lunch before a practice session on the snow mobile we were entrusted with.
•
What started as a nervous start and doing my best driving Miss Daisy routine, I was soon channelling my inner Dominic Toretto putting my foot down on the gas & also being bigged up for how quickly I learnt & picked it up.
•
Views - as it has been the majority of their trip - were insane!
•
Summed up in the video as "this is f**king cool", may have to do it again sometime 😁

2 NIGHTS ON THE SPIN!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 so nice they blessed me twice!
•
Look after night 1 I was GAAAASSSSSED after seeing them and experiencing it...this one on night 2 felt sweeter, as I was originally meant to do this Aurora Chase Tour on night 1 but it was cancelled due to insufficient numbers 😭😭😭😭
•
were accommodating enough to message me & offer 2 dates, one which was the Tuesday and so off we went!
•
This was originally my only shot at seeing them so I just pretended in the group I didn't see them 24hours prior 😅😅😅😅
•
The lovely Clara (our guide) told us to look for a "weird cloud" which could be a sign. Someone must've looked out the window, and said "is that weird enough?" to a patch which turned out to be the aurora....and this was within 30 mins of driving!
•
Night 1's show was mental, but this by comparison....F**K. ME! It was dancing; there were streaks of purple arriving; exploding in front of our eyes; and it didn't die down for a good couple hours. This was unreal and left me gobsmacked!
•
We went further into the wilderness and set up by a body of water and a fjord, setting up a fire & tucking into reindeer stew watching the aurora giving us an encore performance over the mountains & water.
•
People told me not to expect them and I went into this Tromso trip open minded just for a good break & experience a new country. Most people book tours galore without a sign. I got 2 amazing light showings B2B and I am counting myself as being EXTREMELY lucky!
•
We are at the end of February and already this is moment of the YEAR! This is gonna take some beating 🌌
•
Btw big up Clara for the pictures from her fancy camera (the pictures I took on my phone I'll save for a rainy day 😉); the camp fire/food & a great night keeping us informed 👏👏👏👏👏

Views of the city from Storsteinen, courtesy of !
•
Quick shuttle bus from the centre took us to the cable car which takes 5 mins to get to the top.
•
Absolutely insane views of Tromso & the surrounding Fjords too! 😍
•
Protection from the elements in the form of the cafe where I got stuck into a Norwegian waffle with jam & caramelised goat cheese 🤤
•
Freezing but defo one to check out if you're visiting 👌

Starting day 2 with a dip in the Nordic Sea.
•
After breakfast, I went out to go to .lifestyle for a sauna and dip in the water...I've done cold tanks/plunges before so it won't be that bad would it?
•
Let me tell you...minus 4 wind/weather was one thing in swimwear, but that first step in the 2.6°c water was not the one! After climbing in slowly & breathing like I was giving birth, I lowered in & dunk my head. Pretty sure I came up speaking in tongues it was that cold 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
•
It was refreshing but took some time. Headed back to the sauna to get some feelings back in my extremities...only then to spend 20mins in it; say f**k it; and go for a 2nd round in the water!
•
You get an hour slot so can do as often or as little as you want.
•
At least if you catch your death from hyperthermia, you've got a nice view to enjoy before you freeze to death 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐍 𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐓!
•
To cap off the first day with a very unexpected light show was the cherry on top! Originally I was booked for a light chasing tour but it got moved to Tuesday...someone up there was looking out for your boy!
•
When we turned up to Roy pointed out the lights...to the naked eye it looks like a weird cloud. God bless night mode cos seeing the picture and the phone working it's magic to produce the start of it was immense.
•
As the night progressed it got SO. MUCH. BETTER! Literally one of the group was outside after food & as the rest of us were eating, he burst through the door and just said "STOP EATING AND COME CHECK THIS OUT NOW!"
•
Seeing the lights dancing & moving with the little flickers of difference colour...it was the most surreal moment I've ever experienced, as demonstrated by my use of the word RAHTID on a continual basis 🤣🤣🤣🤣
•
What a way to cap off the first day...and I still had a northern lights tour on day 2.
•
Surely I couldn't catch them 2 nights on the spin...could I? 👀

Day 1 of Tromso...
•
Touched base in the city and went for a snack at the world famous hot dog stand to sample a reindeer & beef hot dog...it was pretty decent.
•
From there headed for some fried cod tongues (yup you read that right) with some fries...tasted like scampi but could've done with more tbh
•
Once getting to the accommodation & dropping bags off, it was a quick chill before heading off to the husky centre where we learnt about the dogs; got to pet some of them (the urge to keep saying "Can I pet that dawg?" was strong but i abstained 🤣) & finished off with a meal that included fruit tea; fish soup; and cake before finishing the night around a fire toasting marshmallows....
•
HOWEVER! The night did take a turn & it was disrupted somewhat during the dog meet as well as the dinner too........which will be revealed in the next post

Hallo, og velkommen til Tromsø!
•
This is the epitome of the phrase Winter Wonderland with the landscapes and snow everywhere.
•
A few questions to clear up:
•
1) yes it is cold as balls!
•
2) yes it is expensive!!
•
3) yes it is worth it!
•
Plenty to check out but the fun is in the excursions that take place out of the city 👀
•
Bring on the adventure!

Good day you handsome people! 👋
•
It's been a hot minute on this page, but fret not cos a new year means new adventures!
•
A long ball ache journey from Wolves to Gatwick this morning with broken sleep which may bite me in the backside later on with my plans 😬
•
With that being said, time to walk down the aisle once more and tick off country number 29 as Flash Flies Far to Tromso, Norway!

A Krakow photo/video dump.
•
Booked on a Tuesday, flew out on a Wednesday from Manchester, and back in time for the weekend in England.
•
Ate all the food, drank all the drinks, and walked A LOT!

•

Before the impromptu travel to Krakow, my heart was set on Edinburgh as I have unfinished business with a certain bungee jump.
•
I was ready to lay out for the original room (no name of the establishment) but when booking it, it came up saying there's been an error...and it went up from £140 to £189 for 3 nights!
•
Throw in the train travel prices too and I thought, "I shouldn't have left it too late"....but then I said "surely I can get more value for my money elsewhere at short notice right?"
•
After research I found cheap 1 way flights to Poland and also accommodation...the return leg of the journey could wait until I was on my way & which i eventually sorted 👌
•
EVERYONE'S TASTES AND PREFERENCES FOR WHERE THEY STAY WILL DIFFER....THESE PRICES ARE BASED ON WHAT I WAS AIMING FOR ON A BUDGET.
•
Working out prices you may think its not much of a difference...BUT looking at the Krakow break down, you get more for the same price as Edinburgh travel & accommodation alone 😬
•
Plus, the extra £16 - £46 saved gets you further in Krakow for food & drinks too. Everyone is different in their circumstances when it comes to eating/drinking/things to do, and can make their trip to either place as inexpensive or as expensive as they see fit...but you can see a clear difference. Again, these prices do vary especially on where you are travelling to each destination from.
•
As long as you research and get in early, a last minute trip abroad actually works out better to somewhere domestically in Great Britain.
•
If the opportunity is there, get yourself a flight & go see the world 🌎 #🇵🇱
