   We arrived at Kirkenes through ice floes . The fog was forming little funnels above the ice. It was cold! Now I don’t know about you, but I  haven’t really the right clothes to go walking too far in -20 degree temperatures. It was a winter fairytale scene you see on Christmas cards.

Huge refrigerators line three walls

We made it as far as the local supermarket for vital supplies , such as chocolate, and to see what they stocked. Most of the food, surprisingly was refrigerated. Mangoes were the same price as at home.Tomatoes were $2 a kg.

Kid heaven,mothers nightmare.
