Day 2 of the Svalbard trip- the Santa’s Mailbox procession!
Shelley and I were happy to take part of the Santa’s Mailbox procession today with many of the local villagers & a few other tourists like ourselves.. I had inserted a postcard to cover the Grand-Kids and the young-uns of all friend & family, so they should be covered!! It’s the most northern mail box to Santa, and Santa’s work shop was lit up for the occasion on the side of the valley (factually the defunct coal mine #2 I believe).
We missed out on the tree lighting ceremony when we hung back to see promising signs of reddish northern lights, but they didn’t really kick off…. Until we went for our post supper walk in the village that is! Also paid our respects to the village’s Christmas tree!!
Big day lined up tomorrow… Stay safe all & have a great night everyone!
