		<title>This is it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The wind has been a bad influence the last days, throwing us back south day by day. Last days we struggled to arrive at 70 km every evening just to wake up kilometers further away. By this morning we drifted away to 80 km, again. No use in pursisting this way. Probably we will be picked up by helicopter [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been  in Spitsbergen for 2 days now. Monday, I took a flight to Oslo and from there on I flow to Longyearbyen the next morning. I only spent one night in Oslo, but that was long enough to realize how expensive Norway is: 35 euro for a 5 minute taxi ride.
