Northern Lights Yo

I leave: 27th March. Read the following with this.

1st leg Norway, beginning in sweet, sweet Trondheim. We stay with student friends studying at the university of Trondheim from 27th to 30th followed by lungfuls of Norwish air then shoulders for pillows aboard our overnight passage to Bodo (arr 0910 on the 31st), gateway to the north. Here we shall bribe the gatekeeper and find hostelry to lay our wares. From here it's anyone's guess how we make our way to Narvik, either

1. via the Lofoten Islands (if the ferry is running)
2. coach journey direct from Bodo or
3. by vigorously mincing our way there

Upon arriving at Narvik we can plough north to Tromso (arr 1st April), where I will probably enjoy my first couchsurf. The remainder of the Norway leg will be spent in Tromso observing the aurora borealis oh yeah. Options from Tromso are Stockholm then Helsinki or straight to Helsinki and onto the Motherland.

Corrections from last post: The brief flirtation with Denmark (and possibly Sweden) has now been put to bed, due to our new start point.
