We had made it to Longyearbyen – Svalbard’s capital – in the morning. We were to leave the ship after breakfast. As there was still plenty of time until our flight, a quick tour around town was offered, taking in the main attractions – starting with a drive from the small port to downtown, a tour through the excellent Svalbard Museum, followed by a self-guided stroll through the downtown pedestrian / shopping area for a last chance to catch up on souvenirs. From here it was on to the airport for the flight back South.
