Our final day in Norway arrived. Since we hadn’t explored Trondheim much yesterday, we decided to do an express tour before heading to the airport. We got up early to squeeze in 1.5 hours to see the city. Our first stop was the old town bridge, lined with colourful houses along the river. The houses […]

Today was our last day on the cruise. We had to leave by 9:30am, so we woke up early to pack and grab our final breakfast on board. After eating, we took a few photos on the observation deck, saying goodbye to the boat that carried us all the way from Tromso to Trondheim while […]

Our second morning on the cruise was wonderfully relaxing. We woke up late, had breakfast, lounged in bed updating the blog, and then wandered back out for lunch. Since all meals are included on this cruise, there’s no debate on restaurant decisions. You just walk to the restaurant and pick a dish. Easy peasy. At […]

We woke up late today, still recovering from the 3am aurora wake-up call from the night before. But not too late, we still needed to make it to the dining area before breakfast ended. After eating and getting my mandatory morning coffee, we watched the sunrise from the observation deck. Even with our slow start, […]

Today was our last day in Tromso. Since our cruise boarding wasn’t until midnight, we had the whole day free to explore the city. Until now, we’d mostly focused on activities outside the centre, so today felt like a good time to finally wander around Tromso itself. We started with a special lunch: reindeer hotdogs. […]

We had a lazy morning because we went to bed around 4am after the long day before. Even though we woke up late, we still felt tired. We stayed in for a good old cup-noodle lunch and even squeezed in a post-lunch nap. It gets dark around 2pm here, so it felt like we’d stayed […]

Whale Watching Today was a big day with two long activities planned, each about 8–9 hours. Our first one was whale watching. We meant to get to the boat 30 minutes early, but thanks to my slow morning pace and a small parking hiccup, we arrived about 15 minutes early instead. By then, the boat […]
2nd December 2025
I usually get to the airport about 2.5 hours early for European trips, but Antoine insisted on 3 hours. In the sprit of compromise, we ended up arriving 3.5 hours early (actually because we didn’t have better things to do at home). The baggage drop wasn’t even open yet, so we grabbed a morning coffee, […]

Today we had another day planned to explore Buenos Aires and we first decided to go to Recoleta the cemetery and visit it in the area. We walked around the many graves and tried to find the grave of a friend of my dad‘s father, but unfortunately he didn’t find anything after visiting the cemetery. […]

Today we woke up early and grab breakfast before it was time to go to the airport for the next leg of our journey. Unfortunately unlike our parents we didn’t have a direct flight to Buenos Aires and they said had to take a flight to Santiago and then wait there for a couple hours […]

Today after having grab breakfast, we decided to go shopping for snacks and walk to carefour to get some delicious passion fruit tea and then walked to a local restaurant, which was out of the way to try a choripan, a local Argentinian hotdog. The cherry pen we got there was definitely an elevated version […]

1st January 2025
Today we got up at nine and enjoyed breakfast whilst planning what we would be doing today considering that most things are closed due to the fact that it was the 1st of January. We decided that it was worth going back to exactly where we had started to show the parents at Aconcagua because […]
