Yesterday was a really awesome, cool, busy day. We met up with the kids in Longyearbyen, then we went souvenir shopping, and we started on our way to Ny Alesund, where we will be performing our scientific procedures. We stopped at Trygghamna. The sea was come and sweet until morning came. The waves shifted a bit. The following day we went for a long hike on an island next to Trygghamna. We walked for 2 hours and went back to shore. While on our walk we saw a few reindeer, some live, other dead. I was surprised to see that the whole shore was covered in rocks. A little further up the mountain we saw moss and plants growing. It takes approx. 20 years for a small cover of moss to appear. Finally when we went back to the boat and we saw 1 polar bear, from a reasonable distance. When we rang the bell everyone was rushing to the deck. Too funny. But when we finally got on deck we had to go back to our rooms to get our life jackets. I never imagined in my whole that I would be starring at a polar bear. Now I\u2019ve seen everything, a black bear, a grizzly bear and last but not least a polar bear. Amazing.

\nP.S. Mom I\u2019ve finally got your present. Can\u2019t wait till I share this whole adventure with everyone.<\/p>\n
*Its not that cold here, but still need to dress very warm. Wish I had brought my woollen socks.*<\/p>\n
Anyhow gtg, Joe, Franzie and I are going to work on our science projects.<\/p>\n
Bye bye,<\/p>\n
