Havila Polaris Day 4

Today is our last full day on the Havila Polaris. I have been pleasantly surprised that we have had WiFi with internet the whole way.

This morning we crossed the Arctic Circle.

Roger and I as we pass the Arctic Circle monument.

A bit later we joined the Arctic Circle celebration. The Nordic god Njord, the God of the sea, appeared to baptize those who were above the Arctic Circle for the first time.

We played cards until we docked in Bodø.

Playing the card game Hand and Foot. Duke and I had never played it before this trip.

In Bodø we disembarked and went exploring.

When we got back on the ship we decided we should take advantage of the jacuzzi and Sauna since tomorrow we disembark.
