The G20
meeting was next to my office and I knew in advance that there
will be a lot of hassle. So, I thought it’s time to travel the world
again. Since, I was about to become 20 million minutes old I decided
to fulfill one of my bucket list goals and travel to the polar
region. My destination was Tromsø/Norway.
With 69° North, Tromsø
is
north of the polar circle and it will also boost
my bounding box. One
highlight in my travel was to see the midnight sun.
It’s
fascinating to have no sunset and sunrise. People didn’t
seem to care for day or “night”, at least my host family was
active at 2 am.
Let’s
take a look on the numbers.
As my website shows there’s no dawn or dusk, no sunset and sunrise in Tromsø. Compared to that Hamburg has all of that. It only misses an astronomical dawn and dusk this time of the year.
Beside
the midnightsun, there was a lot more, which I will not detail, like my quest for
Munch’s “Scream”, the
attack of a seagull,
and the masses of German tourists. Ouugh
German tourists, they are the worst, I mean we are the
worst.
