An enormous amount of iron ore mined in Sweden is exported through Narvik. From our hotel window we can see the trains carrying the ore from Sweden to the port of Narvik. It is pretty darn impressive.
The Germans attacked Narvik in April of 1940. Narvik is the first place that they attacked in Norway. They wanted the Swedish iron ore.
This morning we went to the Narvik War Museum. It was fascinating and very well done. The land and sea battles in and around Narvik are explained in the museum. Duke and I watched the movie Narvik before we left home. That made the museum even more interesting.
While I was waiting for Duke to finish going through the museum. I talked to Anne, an American Norwegian woman. She met her husband in Chicago and moved to Norway in 1955. She is 92 years old!
This afternoon we walked to the train station to see where it is. We were on the platform when an ore train went by.
For dinner we went to a restaurant called Fiskehallen. The name means fish market and the restaurant is in the restored fish market building.
They were each very good.
Tonight is our last night in Norway. Tomorrow we take the train into Sweden.

Thanks for asking. The whale burger was ground meat like hamburger. The taste was quite mild with a bit of a fish taste.
