Last night we were treated to another fantastic night of Aurora Borealis. The sky above our heads were full of vivid green lights rolling through the skies.  It really is something everybody should see.

This morning we went out on a boat to go 'whale watching'. Norway has not traditionally been a spot for whales but due to unexplained migrations of Herring to feed around the Norwegian Fjords the whales are making their way here too.
 
Just like the Northern Lights you aren't guaranteed anything on whale tours when you go out. But luckily the whales were feeling social and we were surrounded by them. It was truly incredible. At times the whales were about 10 metres from our boat.  We were watching  humpback whales.
 
The marine biologist who was our guide told us to keep our eyes out for Killer whales or Orca whales.  Norway is the only please in the world where Killer Whales and Humpback Whales co-exist. We got to see Killer Whales and Humpback on either side of our boat.
 
Tonight is our last night on this strange and wonderful journey. We'll have a look for those magical lights again tonight
 
You can hear the whole amazing journey on Saturday morning at 10am. This trip has all been with thanks to Project Travel.  Find out more at www.project-travel.ie

Here's some of the great photos we took last night and today.
