I took this picture in Norway in 2019. It's the first time and it will possibly be the last I ever traveled that far north. We disembarked at Kirkenes, very close to the Russian border, and traveled by land to another port to catch the boat on the way back south. This bus trip along narrow and winding roads allowed us to admire the northern grass vegetation and see the fjords from another perspective. I hope you like it.

I would have liked this more with a higher point of view, so that there could be a view of the lake that's not partially obscured by those foreground plants.

Just one man's opinion.

Will we ever get to travel overseas again? I have many places to visit but I'm not game to book at the moment with the current batch of leaders that we have. They change the rules with a hair trigger and I don't want to get stranded overseas, homeless and broke!!

Sorry I only had time to take two photos. This is the second or vice versa. I remember walking through the vegetation and there wasn't much high ground where we stopped.

I know what you mean. I have been spending the "credit money" we had from last year holidays abroad in Australia and with great difficulty because of the border restrictions and the airlines flight cancellations. Our flights to the red center had six flights cancellations and we had to pay new flights and get refunded for the cancellations. We were traveling to Melbourne for my birthday and had 3 flight cancellations, so we gave up and asked for refunds; in the end, I was pleased we didn't go because of the situation there. Next year we are traveling in OZ, but it is practically all booked now for 2022; the Indian Pacific and the Ghant were sold withing hours of opening for booking. Australia is an expensive country. Tour operators, airlines, hotels and governments are screaming 'support our local business', but they haven't been making it easy.

100% Zaffs. Uncertain times we live in.
