Barrow

Well, words escape me at the moment.

I’ll just start at the beginning.  Our shuttle awaits to transport us along dirt roads to our hotel.  The accommodation is ok actually, and we had chosen a room with Arctic Ocean glimpses.  This is the view from the dining room - best seats in the house!

As you can see by the mud tracks, a stroll to the beach is not on the books!  So by 10 pm we are ready for bed - its still daylight so we block out as much light as we can. The curtains dont do the trick, they’re short and dont quite reach one edge of the window so we utilised the ironing board to hold the  curtain against the wall.  I fell asleep quite quickly, (with eye mask on) but was awake again at 1.15 am - and it was even brighter than when I went to sleep.  I took this quick shot through our window (and flywire).  The Arctic Sea is just past those houses but a sea mist sweeps across from time to time, obliterating our  “ocean glimpses”

1.15 am!!!
