Tromsø
Mack Mikrobryggeri, Storgata 4. On the ship I was drinking Mack beer and when I drink real ale I like to get the brewery up on Google Streetview. In this case we got to drive past it in the coach
Polaria is the world's most northerly aquarium

Oslo
Seen from inside the terminal building of Gardermoen Airport. Improbably tall control tower and
curious sculpture of man throwing paper dart.
