Ouch

Should have mentioned, it was in Alta at the north tip of Norway with 24 hour darkness 🥹

About the same location, we were on a Hurtigruten ship at the time. I remember the captain advising we should scrap ourselves into our bunks and enjoy the journey.

I really want to do Hurtigruten or Havila. I'm trying to convince the wife that they are much better than the Isle of Wight ferry 😂

They are much better, designed for travelling up the coast of Norway in all weathers. We would highly recommend them.

We did a combined ice hotel/hurtigruten cruise

Yeh, we did an Ice Hotel too 😂

👍🏻

A wonderful experience

Did you stay in one? We only visited for the day!

We stayed overnight in one.

No way, that must have been amazing!

Being of a certain age, I was concerned about having to get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet 😂

It was amazing and going to the toilet during the night was a big issue. The toilet block was not in the ice hotel but in the adjacent building.

Yes, I was aware of that, but I still want to do it sometime.

I also want to do one of those glass hotels where you sleep under the stars in a glass dome with views of the Northern lights, should they appear.

Ice world problems 🙄🤣

And I should add I have been on an Isle of Wight ferry many many times.

I'm sorry for your pain 😂
