The biggest problem that has happened is that one of the ski bindings of Jan’s skis suffered a catastrophic failure, it ripped right of the ski itself!

The days in Narvik have been perfect, fantastic food and friendly people everywhere. We got a 6 course dinner at the best restaurant in town (Linken Restaurant), made by a chef with sami heritage.
