Now we are in the land of deep green pine covered mountains that border wide fjords and, much to our surprise, Tromso is also a place to find amazing food. Derek and Julia sampled steaks of whale meat their first night in Norway. Laurel was especially happy with the breakfast at the hotel; she filled us in on the fact that ‘applesin’ juice is actually orange juice. Derek is now addicted to crackers covered in chocolate spread. Julia made her own waffle and put a different kind of jam on each slice. I was amazed by the fresh seafood sold on the streets just steps from the boats that have brought it in. The raspberries here are the biggest I have ever seen.
