WE ARE STILL AT THE NORTH POLE

Yesterday we enjoyed the company of several celebrity explorers and had a very special day. Today Stephen and I are alone. Salvatore should have been with us, but he was unlucky, fell down a big ice ridge and strained a muscle.
He then chose to go with the chopper back to Barneo where they have a doctor. And we are here as there were no space in the helicopter. Lucky us. They day has been the most perfect Polar day. We have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
To morrow we will be picked up and returned to Barneo. There are 2 scheduled flights back to Longyearbyen tomorrow. We will board the last. We could not be happier with the trip. The guys are flying!
