Just got back from Tromso - north of the Arctic circle - uhhhh, one of the more expensive places I've ever been. Beautiful, though. Part of the trip was for business. Best thing we did was climb the cable car hill looking over the city (Tromso) - exhilirating and great views. We also stayed in a more remote area which had cabins - the sun did NOT set - was exhausting and very dis-orienting. Bought another Oleana sweater - some of the thinnest and mst beautiful merino wool sweaters available - love, love, love them. Keep you warm without the bulk.
Will be going to Split, Croatia, this weekend. Really looking forward to seeing the Diocletian Palace, beaches and eating excellent seafood (and climbing Marjan hill). This trip will be significantly cheaper as Croatia is much cheaper (the Poles and Italians go there for cheap vacations!). We also will be staying at an apartment of a friend, lowering the costs significantly. Hope to also get to Hvar island for some hiking through lavendar fields....we really like Croatia - great value for excellent experiences historically, epicurally and hedonistically (if you wish on the latter - many nude beaches, et al, if you do that).
