Skiing 20:00 [2]
A quick ski in Tromsø after a bit of an adventure trying to get there with Alli and her mom. It was really nice to get out, especially since I've been battling a cold the last few days.
Tromsø has been pretty great, with the best activity being dog-sledding!
The main negative was the way I entered the country: Alli's brother asked for a few bottles of duty-free alcohol from Sweden, and so I obliged, happily toting a bag with two bottles of whiskey, a gin, and a vodka through Tromsø airport customs, when a customs official pulled me aside. Turns out you are only allowed to bring in one bottle duty-free into Norway, contrary to what I was told in the duty-free shop in Arlanda. After thoroughly going through my bag, the customs official took away three of my bottles and issued me a fine of 1200NOK, telling me that if I had only walked through the "red exit", I could have paid the duty on the bottles and gotten to keep them while avoiding the fine. Grrrrrr.
