Scooter trip to Kapp Linné/Isfjord Radio

One beautiful Monday at the pub when there was no Quiz Silje, Vigdis and I decided that we have to get out more. So we came up with a plan - to go to Kapp Linné and eat there when Vigdis friend Vu was in town :-) (Have a look here:

Saturday was the day - and we even got Ellen, Vegard, Jeff & Roy-Erik to join :D Because there was a lot of snow we decided to drive along the coast to Kapp Linné.

Our way went through Barentsburg (Баренцбург). I have to go back once to take some more pictures of the place & spend some time there. Quite interesting!

Barentsburg seen from the other side of the fjord - no GPS needed to find that place, just look for the black cloud of smoke...

After almost 3 hours of driving we finally saw Kapp Linné - and I guess everyone was equally hungry ;-)


Kapp Linné and Isfjord Radio


After a good meal and some rest on the sofa we were ready to take pictures, refuel scooters and go home.

On the way back we drove through the valleys in stead of taking the longer road along the coast.
