        We left Tromso Friday at first light,
        headed down through Finland into sweden, got to Umea, and had a rest day, to give us two shots at the Aurora. Its only a 4 hour night, but its smack bang in the aurora belt. We had 10/10 cloud both nights.

        we left this morning and are now in JonKoping Sweden, and we have 50/50 cloud cover here.
        tomorrow we will hit Dessau, then Padua, then Naples. Then I shall relax for a week.

        The cloud is thinning as I speak. 30% now

          You won't be needing the cold weather kit much longer then. Out with the shades and the warm weather kit.

                If you had a tornado you'd see it.
                What happens in General, stays in General.
                You know what they say about assumptions!
