The last Display of Northern Lights
The usual watch, and noticed a green-grayish
light...
 |
| Faint grayish light |
And then the light appeared across the sky. It was
more intense than the first viewing on the first night.
 |
|
A huge arc of dancing light |
As the light were intense, it was clearly visible to the eye even with the deck lighting being on.
 |
| All were busy taking photos and video |
The Northern lights display were longer and more
intense/bright. It appeared and disappeared at different parts of the night
sky. It was over after about 1/2 hours.
We arrived at Tromso at about midnight and walked
to the hotel to have a good night sleep.
 |
| Convenient store and tax rebate counter |
Tromso has a small and compact airport. Norwegian Air flew direct to London. Both the airport and airline are good and efficient.

| Last view of Tromso from the air |
It has been a wonderful trip in Norway. Maybe, we can take a longer cruise in the future :).
