Beer!

We made it! Very thrilled to arrive safely in Longyearbyen and be
welcomed on the beach by Liv. Most of the last week has been spent
dreaming of the beer and food we are now consuming. Barentsburg
(Russian mining town) was an eye opener with it's crazy dilapidated
buildings and mining equipment. Luckily these were mitigated by the
hotel that served pizza and vodka.

Here are a few pics - can't write any more now as there is cappuccino
waiting at the nearest cafe. :)

A HUGE thanks to everyone for sending us thoughts and messages of
support throughout the trip! It has been great to know people have
been following our progress. Hope to see you all in real life soon!

Cheers,
Ra and Mim
