and if I am honest I am loving it. I really feel like I have arrived in the Nordics now. I still have an urge to run out side and use my feet to mark the words ‘Forza Bajen’ in the snow but dont think thats very professional. OK ‘vi hatar Cardiff’ is far more [...]

Sounds like a nice idea to go to Spitsbergen but at £3,456 per person I think I will have to give the polar bears a miss this year!
