Tromso and Honningsvad, Norway

The main street of Tromso

A beautiful little candy store 

This is one of the lifesized displays in the Arctic Museum in Tromso.  This shows how the trappers caught polar bears.  There was a bait in one end of this long wooden box.  The long end held a rifle.  When the bear put his head in the box to get the bait, the rifle was triggered to shoot him in the head. 

We had a delicious lunch of reindeer and a salad and a beer in a very nice restaurant in Tromso.   Reindeer is a little like venison but not as gamey believe it or not.  It was tender and delicious.  

After visiting Tromso, another little port along the coast of Norway--Honningsvad

I wish I knew how many of these little port towns there are in Norway.

Honningsvad is not one of the prettiest ports we visited, but this picture illustrates that even the most dilapidated ports are colorful and charming.
