Travelling to Narvik

Seth and I met in the lobby around 7:30am and took off to the train station and the airport.
It was all pretty uneventful. In fact, all the travel was relaxingly uneventful. Seth and I talked for a majority of the time, but I slept on the plane since the Italians had kept me awake all night.
I was a little cranky, I will admit.
But, everything went perfectly. They checked my large duffel for no charge, security was a breeze, and we simply waited in the terminal for a couple hours before our plane took off.
Once we landed in Narvik, we caught the bus to the actual town. On our way, I saw two moose, or Elk as they are called in Norway (I’m still confused about this). We drove around the fjords and finally arrived on the main street of Narvik. After about one minute of confusion, we found our way to our hotel where we waited for the others to arrive so we could check into our room/s.
We met the technical producer, the production manager, and my friend Pavel (the scenographer), in the lobby and then we changed before dinner. They gave us a free meal at the Italian restaurant. I had chopped steak (okay, so, it wasn’t very original… although the gravy sauce was delicious with the fries), and this drink called “Farris”, which is just club soda… apparently, it is very popular here. We met part of the cast and crew, all are delightful.
Anyway, we were both VERY excited, but we were both pretty tired, so we went to bed early.
End of day one in Narvik.
