Alistair on Sandvika beach Boat hire from Sandvika Alistair takes over and heads for the rocks!
Sitting back and 'enjoying' the ride ... Rush-hour on the road to Andenes
... and finally, Alistair's 7th birthday in Andenes ...
Alistair's 7th birthday (morning) ... and a present too for Kirsty - from Grandma and Grandad ... forget using it as a pyjama-case!
... but the planned whale safari was cancelled due to foul weather
- as was our ferry back to Senja :-(

So Alistair got a couple of extra birthday treats instead (back in Tromsø):
The only sort of train you see in Tromsø ... an extra birthday treat for Alistair
Another birthday treat for Alistair ... ... and Kirsty tries her hand too
We made it back to Senja, Andenes and the whale safari a couple of weeks later - see here
