Tag 2 -
Sonntag, 15. Juli 2007 Nach dem Mittag gingen
wir zu einer alten Mine hoch oben am Berg. Der Anstieg war doch recht
steil, oben angekommen waren viele von uns doch ziemlich kaputt. Wir
konnten in die alte Mine hineingehen und wagten anschließend den Abstieg
zurück zur Straße. |
Day 2 -
Sunday July 15th
2007 We got up at 8:30 and had a Norwegian breakfast at 9:00. The weather was beautiful, but quite cold so we made a guided tour around Longyearbyen and we saw the church, a very old grave yard and the place the sun rises after the winter. Than we were shown huge walebones, because there is no wale industry on Svalbard anymore. After that we went to the Svalbard Museum and saw old pictures from Svalbard. We learned about plants, animals and the history of Svalbard, and we got information about the miners. The museum was very modern, exiting, impressiv and beautiful with lots of pictures and movies. We had lunch outside the musuem. The lunch consisted of bread with cheese and ham and it was very cold to eat outside in the wind. After lunch, we went for a hike to the
mines far up in the mountain. The hill was very steep and we were very
tired when we reached the top. We got a lot of fresh air, but there was
still sunshine and we had a look into the mine before we slipped and
stumbled down again. In the evening we made a big fire in an old oildrum,
and had a wonderful barbecue. The meat was delicious, but it was very cold
and windy, so we had to sit around the grill just to get warmer. We played
a few games before we went inside because it was too cold and we vere so
tired after a long day. |
