    When you're ready to sleep put tin foil on the windows. An old Alaskan trick to get the kids to sleep.

    You must be really far north, we were just in southern Norway and we got 4-5 hours of darkness every night. Hope you are enjoying yourself, we just returned from a trip on the Queen Victoria :-)

    Yes Dabs we were off North Cape.....When we got to Tromso I think it was that was to be last day of total misty daylight Internet on QM2 is very expensive and around Norway there are many difficulties.
