Tromsø 2025

November 7th, 2025

Despite the gen­er­ous con­sump­tion of dif­fer­ent types of wine, we all slept well and enjoyed a leisure­ly break­fast. Har­ry and I then took a short walk to pick up our rental car.

When we got back to the car, we found a yel­low strip on the wind­shield wiper with the head­ing “Kon­troll­sanksjon,” mean­ing a park­ing tick­et. Although Easy­Park had shown us the space as a valid park­ing zone and we had paid as required, we had appar­ent­ly unknow­ing­ly parked in a small sep­a­rate zone reserved for clients. We had obvi­ous­ly over­looked the sign in the dark. If we had parked three park­ing spaces fur­ther to the left, every­thing would have been fine.

cHow­ev­er, Trom­sø Park­er­ing did not accept our objec­tion regard­ing the paid park­ing fee, which we sent by email after our trip, so we end­ed up hav­ing to pay a fine of €80 on top of the park­ing fee, which was very annoy­ing 🤬. Next time, we’ll take a clos­er look around.

We then set off on a short­er tour—just along the fjord. The weath­er was mediocre, but we still found a few pho­to oppor­tu­ni­ties and flew the drones again.

In the evening, we had reserved a table at Fiskekom­pani­et again. We had already been there on New Year’s Eve 2025 and had enjoyed it very much. To round off our trip nice­ly, we enjoyed the six-course menu, again with accom­pa­ny­ing wines. The restau­rant is very cozy, dec­o­rat­ed in an indus­tri­al style with lots of warm col­ors, yet Nordic and straight­for­ward with­out any frills. Very nice.

The food was excel­lent again, and the ser­vice was very atten­tive. Then, pleas­ant­ly sat­u­rat­ed, we strolled back to our nice apart­ment. It was our last evening in Trom­sø (this time 😉). Tomor­row we will fly back home in the afternoon.
