Even though we'd had 10 days to get used to it, it was still wierd that it was light at that time in the morning. Thank god for eye masks! We said goodbye to the crew of the boat and Vanessa and went to Longyearbyen airport which had to be the whole of 5 rooms! I'm serious! Arrivals and Departures were the same room!
We flew straight to Oslo and had an 8 hour layover so we went to some Museums, The FramHeim and the Kon Tiki Museum. The FramHeim is a huge boat in which a man and his crew reached the North Pole first in and survived the winter in a hole in the pack ice before being rescued. We were aloud to look around the boat which still had most things in it.
As we checked into Oslo ready to fly back to Heathrow, people began to realise that it was the end of our days together and we wouldnt see each other for ages until we hopefully have a reunioun in December. Coming through arrivals at Heathrow was very emotional and most people were crying. We actually missed our train back to Doncaster on account of how long is took us to all claim our baggage and say goodbye to each other. Luckily, there was another train going through Doncaster and we were able to get on that. Lucy & I spent the whole train ride home playing Slam! the card game everyone played on the ship, our mums were getting abit annoyed as we were more interested in the game than telling them everything!
This was such an amazing experience and we really can't thank everyone who organised it enough! We've made some great friends that we are all staying in touch with via email! And every single one of us is hoping for a reunion in December...hopefully at 81 degrees North! I know I'll never ever forget it, I have hundreds of memories that will last me a lifetime!
PICTURES WILL FOLLOW SOON!
