We arrived in Evenes via Moomin centric Oslo to a free car hire upgrade and vivid blue skies.....

We arrived in the middle of the medina at rush hour; an intoxicating mix of exotic fragrances, rushing mopeds, vibrant red ochre buildings amidst a chaotic melee of people & donkey carts. The kids look slightly shell shocked.

We dropped our bags at the apartment and headed towards the harbour front where fishing boats jostled with gleaming yachts the size of battleships (we are talking serious moolah)

Our first flight, post COVID-19, went smoothly; airports were home to tumbleweeds and fellow passengers were avid mask wearers......Our next three insouciant weeks, were to be spent Greek island-hopping
