Winter Europe Trip 11th December 2022 (Sunday) Day 15

(This posted is written on 15th October 2023, I finally have time as the school year is coming to an end and I really missed our Europe trip) *Look at that, I managed to update my travel journal till Day 15!

On 11th December, it's the last day that we were in Tromso and Norway, we really wanted to go Arctic Cathedral but we got too lazy in the end. We got up again at 5+ pm to go out but we realised the cathedral was closed early, so we decided to just get out and walk around and look for dinner. 

Church in Tromso

We chanced upon this church in Tromso, and many people were going in for their Sunday mass, we went in to take a look but left as soon as the mass was starting. P always loved to visit churches when he's in Europe. We also wanted to try the hotdog at the smallest bar in the world but that was also closed as we went out too late. We walked around for a bit and at 6pm we were finally too hungry and decided to just go back to the Thai restaurant we went on the first night. 


Olaf in one of the shops


P had teriyaki chicken with rice



I had seafood tom yum soup... yum!

The price is certainly not cheap for asian food but we had been out in Europe for two weeks already, thus we were really craving for asian food. P had his milk shake fix after the dinner, then we walked around a bit more and went back to hotel to rest again. 


Burger King milkshake, yum!

Winter Europe Trip 10th December 2022 (Saturday) Day 14

(This posted is written on 15th October 2023, I finally have time as the school year is coming to an end and I really missed our Europe trip) *Look at that, I managed to update my travel journal till Day 14!

After the light chasing tour on the 9th, we felt lazy to tour Tromso although the light chasing mission could be considered completed. We have two more days in the city before flying out to Amsterdam on the 12th. However, for the two days, we stayed in the hotel most of the time and lazed around, so we didnt even go to the Artic Cathedral in the end. 

On the 10th, it’s a Saturday and we lazed in the hotel after breakfast. The sun havent really been up so that added to our laziness and messed up our sense of day and night, we also felt a bit disappointed after seeing our photos from the previous night and had no motivation to go out until it was really late at night (think about 10pm) and we had to get dinner. It was Saturday so we saw a lot of youth out on the streets at that time, partying and having fun in the city. I was really amazed how everyone can walk easily on the ice without slipping. 



Many wood decor in the restaurant 

We saw many Egon restaurants all over Norway


Cant really say if the decor theme is about sea voyage or what

Our cosy seat

Decor just next to our seat

We saw many outlets of Egon restaurant when we were in Norway but didn’t think of going in. However, as it was so late and choices are limited, P had a craving for steak and we saw that it was available at the restaurant at a pretty reasonable price. It was late but the food took some time to come, we were able to view the menu electronically but had to queue at the bar for payment. Luckily for us, the steak was cooked to our liking so it was all good. 

We headed to Burger King for some dessert and there were lots of people there. Unfortunately, they ran out of milk shake so P couldnt get his craving satisfied.
