It is beautiful to see people sitting together chatting without masks. It almost makes me want to cry. I have not been to a restaurant in a year or really seen my friends in a real setting either. This looked so lovely.
Seeing comments like this makes me very greatful that I am able to go to restaurants, no wearing of masks in public, visiting friends and family etc. We are all in crazy times.
Wow. Open restaurants, no masks, no social distancing - a buffet!!!, I wanted to cry watching this as we all miss it so much and it is so nice to see what used to be normal somewhere! And, everyone can tell you are Swedish due to your LOVE of coffee!
Cecilia, the more I watch your channel I realize that your camera work and video editing skills are amazing. I swear you could make a video tour of your kitchen trash bin and I would want to go there. 😂😂😂 it’s the music, the angles, the lighting, everything is perfect cinematography !! Mad props to you 🏆
I just discovered your beautiful/creative/interesting videos and they provide the peace and beauty, calm and comfort I long for as a California, USA native. Being an introvert seeing this stunning spot not over run with noise and bustle is just a heavenly sight. Lucky you. Thanks for opening up this lovely way of life to others. And, of course, Grim.
Thanks for taking the time to share these videos Cecilia and Christopher (Grimm too!) This is a great place to spend my morning coffee. I shared this channel with my other half as well, she's enjoying your video's too. Take care!
Your life fascinates me!! It is just amazing up there!! Please don’t get tired of TH-cam! One of these days Chris will need to take us to work with him . I’d love to see more of the local businesses and meet these amazing people living in such a stunning , wild, dangerous, gorgeous place. I’m just blown away. Thank you for sharing your life with us
My mother and my MorMor sure did love their coffee. We always had coffee time in the afternoon. My grandparents owned a bakery in Greenwood Village, Worcester, MA. It was called Svea Bakery.
Beautifully shot video! Oh my, eating out with a group of friends, especially breakfast 😫😫 Miss it ssooo much here in the states! The hotel is elegant cozy ☺️
I love these vlogs - it’s so interesting to learn about this very different area (for a Texas girl!) and she’s always so happy and appreciative of where she lives. I also love when the captions write random English words when she is speaking a bit of quick Swedish or (maybe Norwegian). America has been such a dark place so this is a nice escape and great learning experience for me. Christopher is cool. I’ve often wondered what kind of work he does and how he got there.
You have no idea how it feels good to see friends enjoying themselves together at a restaurant ! Here is France everything is closed since october, and it's hard.
Thanks for sharing your life in such a calm and aesthetically pleasing way. My travel heart is aching for far away places. For now I will enjoy your beautiful videos x
Cecelia, it's a privilege to watch your videos which are world class; your filming, your editing, your music choices all combine into a beautiful work of art. You looked beautiful in the dinner outfit, I want those boots, and the hotel is gorgeous and beautifully shot. You are so talented!
We've been on lockdown so long here, that just seeing this makes me feel better. Looking forward to the day I can dress up for dinner again! Thank you :)
Gorgeous lady, we SO enjoy your vids -- my dad's father was born in Norway, would LOVE to travel to where you live -- amazing!!! The views from the drone, the music, sweet Grim -- everything you do makes your friends around the world feel like a part of your family. Thanks so much for this, you make my day!!!
This is one of my favorite channels now. Cecilia is interesting to watch and a great narrator. The editing and music are spot on. The cabin is awesome. Its amazing how all the buildings there in Longyearbyen are very plain and commercial looking but when you walk in the door they are beautiful inside. I love the décor and the obsession with string lights. I just love it. Thank You from The United States!
I’ve been watching these videos for a while now and they are amazing, I love 💕 the life you all have there. It is so incredibly beautiful there. Another thing I love 💗 about the vlogs is the relationship the two of you share. It is inspirational for many I would think! I wonder tho, does Christopher know how much of a dude he really is? The two of you just fit together so well and there is so much happiness between all of you. It really is just so lovely to see….
Cecilia, i am stunned over and over by the contrast between how rough the outdoors is and the indoors of wherever you go. outside looks like it would be a bunch of people huddeled next to whatever heat they could find, chewing on whale blubber, then you go indoors and everything is emaculate and modern. i love this place.... now that you have shown me my hotel option, its on my bucket list.
How fun! You looked especially lovely at dinner, and all the food looked pretty amazing. Such a nice way to pamper yourselves and share a wonderful interlude with friends!
Another great adventure! Love how you guys are so chill with everything - great to see the hotel, amenities, and food! BTW - just bought a Svalbard shirt - my wife thinks I'm crazy! Keep up the great vids - up to 61K subs!
The hotel has some really nice vibes Cecilia, I think I could actually live there. Mmmmm - there maybe a mini series on ‘what to eat in Svalbard.’ - cultural food exploration on Norwegian and local food differences (in detail, recipes etc)
Looking at the outside views reminds me of an airport runway strip. That hotel is VERY NICE. A lot of people back home for New Years book a hotel room as the hotels put on a New Years special. So nice so safe (keeps drunks off the roads)
Christoffer and his breakfast... Salmon and bacon... 😋 Delicious! Love your channel ... Svalbard is magnificent and I understand why you love it there. Polar nights and the Aurora - breathtaking! And Grim is the sweetest with his alligator! 🌿🐬
I just found you on You Tube and am addicted to your videos! It is so great to see a totally different way of life presented is such an upbeat manner. I would love to come and visit -- and see the northern lights. I had been looking at the hotel you stayed in -- it looks lovely. Your joy of life is always present!
Lovely to see that there's still a bit of normality in the world and you can enjoy a night away. Nice to see Christoffer enjoying some luxury too. You saved the best till last when you went to collect Grim and he was so pleased to see you. I hope he stayed away from the reindeer! The Blue Light looks fantastic and I hope you can do more filming while it's still around.
An elegant romantic hotel, and glad you both had some relaxation time away. Hello Grim! 😍🥰❤❤❤ So nice seeing you again. We all missed you, and he really missed the two of you.
I did a happy little dance when I saw the title of this one. 💃🏼 It’s fun to learn more about places like this in your area. What a gorgeous guest room and lounge area. The restaurant looked equally inviting, for a big group or for an intimate dinner for two! 😃 I think I would like this a little better than seeing the polar bear footprints next to me in the snow. LOL Oh, loved your dinner outfit. Thanks for taking us along! Wheeee!! 🤗❤️😊
Ok, I was finally able to catch up on this video! That hotel looks AMAZING (as so you're boots!)! Can you show what it's like getting furniture from the mainland? Another fantastic vid! ♥️
Hiya Cecilia & Christoffer 😃 I would love to stay there and to visit Svalbard!! Unfortunately I’m not well so see it from my bed/house, thanks to you 🥰 It’s nice that you have a nice evening/night away from home like this with friends. You looked amazing Cecilia and I love your dress and boots combo! Yep and you too Christoffer looking suitably rugged!! My favourite time of year is September to April and I much prefer the dark 🧛♀️😅 The light there is magical and I keep re re re watching your vlogs just to see it? “It’s BEAUTIFUL!!!!” 🌻🥰🙅♀️🙅♀️
What a lovely and enchanting setting. Nice ambience! All the features of an upscale hotel. I admire your attention to detail and your strong sense of style.
Seeing that many people sat together eating seems so shocking now! I wanna hang out with friends. Thank you for creating such amazing content, it's a much needed distraction from lockdown!
Grim was scolding you for leaving him, our dog does the same, then after a few minutes of scold barking it's all licks, hugs and wiggles. 💖 Thanks for sharing, for me it's very relaxing to see life in Svalbard.
What kind of industry is going in Svalbard? Would love to see any work shops, machine shops, fishing operations, and of course ..... The power plant. Would love to see a tour of the power plant.
Yea, Funken. We stayed there for 4 nights in June 2019, really nice. The breakfast in the restaurant with that view was incredible. And yes at that time you did serve yourself, and there was a wide variety of food, so I would say 4 stars out of 5. That corner we also used as a preferred spot. Haha. By the way we were not that far from your house I imagine when we went with a dog tour with Green Dog. They just turned back at the end of the runway.
I stayed in a hotel in Sapporo, Japan, which had a similar lounge area with one wall covered with antique-looking leather bound books. That was a rare sight in Japan. They looked old and had fascinating English and other European titles that just begged one to open them and read. I tried to reach for one, and to my horror, discovered they had all been glued together and to the shelves! Yes, they had once been real books but had been turned into props just to create an ambience. What a tragedy. Wow, you look fantastic in that dress! Very huggable! On the subject of your viewers coming to Svalbard, I am reminded of the "Provence" book series by Peter Mayle who had bought a farm house there and described the people and style of life. I am sure the book series made him a millionaire many times over; the books were so popular. However, he was soon inundated with total strangers who came knocking on his door at all hours of the day, saying, "Hi! I just loved your books and wanted to say hi! Can I come in?" Mayle finally had to leave Provence and moved to Italy.
With the current corona situation this is the closest I'll get to traveling, getting dressed up, staying in a hotel and eating indoors in a restaurant for a while - but it was quite fun to see and the hotel looks beautifu! Also I can totally relate to just sitting down with a plate of food and getting started and my significant other has already finished his entire meal.
I love when you say you’ll miss the dark! I feel like I’m the only one who gets sadder with every day (more daylight) after winter solstice. I need to move to Svalbard, haha!
I stumbled across your website last week. I have to say, I have enjoyed watching your videos and have subscribed. It is intriguing to see how people live in the Arctic area. I live in California and we complain when the temperature occasionally drops to freezing in the winter. I cant imagine the cold and darkness in your area. Keep up the good work.
We stayed at Funken 8 years ago. It was not a luxury hotel then, but cozy. Enjoyed the coffee and waffle hour in the afternoon. Now that our son lives in Longyearbyen, we only eat out when visiting, miss the hotel ambiance a bit.
Thank you for sharing this hotel visit, how beautiful! Yuu looked stunning, as usual 😄. Christoffer is a natural on your videos...haha. I love it that you put him on the spot to answer you, my husband would be the same way 😄. Glad you had a night away, mini vacay⭐️. Have a great week and weekend. Always love seeing your videos and thank you for sharing, you are so sweet and funny 🧡🧡
I'm going to definitely have to come here for a few weeks. I've already been to Alaska (my dream is to move to Ketchikan), and was supposed to go to Iceland in 2020, but......ya know. I guess I will start planning it out meow. It looks so beautiful and serene
Beautiful hotel and beautiful food too! Svalbard is on my bucket list of places to visit one day, I hope that hotel is still around by the time we get to come!
This was so amazing for all of us it’s like being in a time warp I can’t remember when any of us were in a restaurant with people LOL but thank you for the wonderful adventure it was fantastic phenomenal!
Very nice hotel. Your boyfriend is like my husband of 49 years (Norwegian ancestry) quiet reserved. We liked our visit to Svalbard off cruise ship, in summer. The hotel food & decor very nice, but can’t believe you left room door unlocked. I wish I had some of that clean cool air. Very warm here in Florida.Jeanne
You look lovely and the artic tan gag was very funny and made me laugh!🤭🤭 The hotel looks fantastic just like everything else there! Breakfast mmmmm 😋😋 Xx
Another great vlog thanks Cecilia. I really enjoy hearing Kristopher speaking, he has such a gorgeous accent. It does look like a super nice hotel to stay at, though if/when I ever get to Svalbard I was hoping to stay with you guys, so I can cuddle the yummy Grimm. Kia Ora Lindy xx ( A friend in Aotearoa, probably the southern most place from you in the world, (apart from Scott Base at the Antarctic))
Hi . Enjoyed with you , your visit to the beautiful hotel. Your videos are special because you have no airs and you speak with a genuine heart. I am from India , thank you for giving me glimpse of a faraway world of which I can only dream of.
Im so envious of you (I am super happy for you too, but, yeah also envious🤣) bc you get to do stuff with your friends and look nice. Literally today I started missing this type of thing so bad! Love your vids, thanks for the lovely escape from covid reality in the States! 💗💗
It is beautiful to see people sitting together chatting without masks. It almost makes me want to cry. I have not been to a restaurant in a year or really seen my friends in a real setting either. This looked so lovely.
I was thinking the same thing the whole way through. Someday soon
I was thinking the same 😭
Seeing comments like this makes me very greatful that I am able to go to restaurants, no wearing of masks in public, visiting friends and family etc. We are all in crazy times.
Why don't you invite your friends in your house ? You can eat and chat. 💚
Because many people in Europe are in Lockdown right now and we are only allowed to see one person or one household?
Wow. Open restaurants, no masks, no social distancing - a buffet!!!, I wanted to cry watching this as we all miss it so much and it is so nice to see what used to be normal somewhere! And, everyone can tell you are Swedish due to your LOVE of coffee!
haha crazy right?! We are very lucky up here! 🙏🏻 hahah I do LOVE my coffee 😂
@@CeciliaBlomdahlKaffetåren den bästa är av alla jordiska drycker, eller hur?!
Svalbard is a remote island.
How all the ppl who DIED must wish for that too.
Cecilia, the more I watch your channel I realize that your camera work and video editing skills are amazing. I swear you could make a video tour of your kitchen trash bin and I would want to go there. 😂😂😂 it’s the music, the angles, the lighting, everything is perfect cinematography !! Mad props to you 🏆

Being an introvert seeing this stunning spot not over run with noise and bustle is just a heavenly sight. Lucky you. Thanks for opening up this lovely way of life to others. And, of course, Grim.
The hotel was beyond my expectations for such a small , quiet village. It was really beautiful and luxury.
Thanks for taking the time to share these videos Cecilia and Christopher (Grimm too!) This is a great place to spend my morning coffee. I shared this channel with my other half as well, she's enjoying your video's too. Take care!
Hello Mr Carlson! You’re a favorite too.
Your life fascinates me!! It is just amazing up there!! Please don’t get tired of TH-cam! One of these days Chris will need to take us to work with him . I’d love to see more of the local businesses and meet these amazing people living in such a stunning , wild, dangerous, gorgeous place. I’m just blown away. Thank you for sharing your life with us
Yes; more meet the locals
My mother and my MorMor sure did love their coffee. We always had coffee time in the afternoon. My grandparents owned a bakery in Greenwood Village, Worcester, MA. It was called Svea Bakery.
That's incredible, you'd never think in that frozen part of the world you would have such luxury.
Right?! It's such a beautiful hotel! 😍
I agree this episode was mind blowing! ❤ 🌎 👍 😊 🎶 Thank You!
I would sit in that corner by the fireplace and never leave!
Riiight?! Love that little corner!
Beautifully shot video! Oh my, eating out with a group of friends, especially breakfast 😫😫 Miss it ssooo much here in the states!
The hotel is elegant cozy ☺️
Thank youu!! Yees I hope life becomes more normal for everyone soon 😳💕
I agree - same here in the UK
I love these vlogs - it’s so interesting to learn about this very different area (for a Texas girl!) and she’s always so happy and appreciative of where she lives.

You have no idea how it feels good to see friends enjoying themselves together at a restaurant ! Here is France everything is closed since october, and it's hard.
😥💙
Things are open in America but I can count on one hand the number of times I've eaten out in the last year😭
Ugh, agreed! I haven't been to a restaurant in a year. 😭
Totally agree. Even a coffee inside would be nice.
Thanks for sharing your life in such a calm and aesthetically pleasing way. My travel heart is aching for far away places. For now I will enjoy your beautiful videos x
I'm so so happy you enjoy the vlogs! 😍 Hopefully life will return to a more normal state soon 🙏🏻
I stayed there in February last year the staff were great and friendly 10/10 would recommend!!
Fogot to mention, the food is top notch if you go there the soup at the bar and the fish in the main restaurant were amazing!
I will definitely stay there when I finally get a chance to fly up to Longyearbyen via Oslo.
Cecillia! That dress ensemble was stunning on you!!!!!!! Super cozy too . Love from Toronto, Canada!!!
I love it, Christoffer is a man of few words. This looked like such a lovely evening.
Cecelia, it's a privilege to watch your videos which are world class; your filming, your editing, your music choices all combine into a beautiful work of art. You looked beautiful in the dinner outfit, I want those boots, and the hotel is gorgeous and beautifully shot. You are so talented!
That dinner looked delicious and you both looked beautiful. It was nice to see Christoffer in a beautiful cream colored shirt. Classy and cozy.
We've been on lockdown so long here, that just seeing this makes me feel better. Looking forward to the day I can dress up for dinner again!
Thank you :)
🥺💙

I love those lights on the staircase. I know where I would stay if I ever make to Svalbard. Another great vlog Cecilia!
Loved it all - rooms, bathrobe, food, view ... heaven!
😍🤩
Poor Christoph you can tell he is quite a shy reserved person but such a trooper in videos he seems like a great partner
Being shy is different than being quiet
I just found you on You Tube and am addicted to your videos! It is so great to see a totally different way of life presented is such an upbeat manner. I would love to come and visit -- and see the northern lights. I had been looking at the hotel you stayed in -- it looks lovely. Your joy of life is always present!
This was lovely. When you showed that view and the dark turned to blue!! Ohhhhh. I miss Tromso bread and Raisenboller too.
The Restaurant has the best breakfast view... so insanely beautiful 💙💙💙 February's colours are so breathtaking.
Great vlog! Yes, I would like to stay at either one of the hotels!
i love all your videos i am going too longyearbyen in march i cant not wait and i think going stay at that hotel looks great!
Thank you! I am living vicariously through you! You are gorgeous inside and out!
What a great evening with good friends. I miss this. But am looking forward to this ...maybe this summer when we are out the lockdown and curfew.
Lovely to see that there's still a bit of normality in the world and you can enjoy a night away. Nice to see Christoffer enjoying some luxury too.
You saved the best till last when you went to collect Grim and he was so pleased to see you. I hope he stayed away from the reindeer! The Blue Light looks fantastic and I hope you can do more filming while it's still around.

It’s nice that you have a nice evening/night away from home like this with friends.
You looked amazing Cecilia and I love your dress and boots combo! Yep and you too Christoffer looking suitably rugged!!
My favourite time of year is September to April and I much prefer the dark 🧛♀️😅
The light there is magical and I keep re re re watching your vlogs just to see it?
“It’s BEAUTIFUL!!!!”
🌻🥰🙅♀️🙅♀️
I love the vibe at the lodge. All the dark comfy-looking furniture and spiffy lighting. I would totally stay there. Thanks for the vlog!
So beautiful the blue light now. It was great seeing Christopher and the super nice Hotel!! What a fun weekend!! Grim was so happy to see you!! 💖💖💖💖
Grim is saying....you should have taken me to the hotel too!!! 🥰🥰. He’s just adorable and has a big personality!!!
Your new gimble (sp?) makes all the difference in the vlog experience. Such an upgrade in smoothness! Love your content, thanks for sharing
......Grim wants his "treat" from the Hotel!😄
hahah 😂
What a lovely and enchanting setting. Nice ambience! All the features of an upscale hotel. I admire your attention to detail and your strong sense of style.
🤩🙏🙏🙏
Seeing that many people sat together eating seems so shocking now! I wanna hang out with friends. Thank you for creating such amazing content, it's a much needed distraction from lockdown!
Aww thank you so much for watching! 🙏
Such a fun video! Cristofer checking you out in the background while you were showing us your dress and boots....priceless 🤣
Grim was scolding you for leaving him, our dog does the same, then after a few minutes of scold barking it's all licks, hugs and wiggles. 💖
Thanks for sharing, for me it's very relaxing to see life in Svalbard.
Hotel looks beautiful! You and Christopher look like a modern day Viking and his Warrior Queen (hope you don't mind my analogy)! So cozy!
Love, love, love Funken Lodge! I stayed there the last week in October, 2019. Thank you for this video. I’ll be back.
What kind of industry is going in Svalbard? Would love to see any work shops, machine shops, fishing operations, and of course ..... The power plant. Would love to see a tour of the power plant.
Yea, Funken. We stayed there for 4 nights in June 2019, really nice.
The breakfast in the restaurant with that view was incredible. And yes at that time you did serve yourself, and there was a wide variety of food, so I would say 4 stars out of 5.
That corner we also used as a preferred spot. Haha.
By the way we were not that far from your house I imagine when we went with a dog tour with Green Dog. They just turned back at the end of the runway.
Amazing!! It really is a nice place!! 🤩
I stayed in a hotel in Sapporo, Japan, which had a similar lounge area with one wall covered with antique-looking leather bound books. That was a rare sight in Japan. They looked old and had fascinating English and other European titles that just begged one to open them and read. I tried to reach for one, and to my horror, discovered they had all been glued together and to the shelves! Yes, they had once been real books but had been turned into props just to create an ambience. What a tragedy. Wow, you look fantastic in that dress! Very huggable! On the subject of your viewers coming to Svalbard, I am reminded of the "Provence" book series by Peter Mayle who had bought a farm house there and described the people and style of life. I am sure the book series made him a millionaire many times over; the books were so popular. However, he was soon inundated with total strangers who came knocking on his door at all hours of the day, saying, "Hi! I just loved your books and wanted to say hi! Can I come in?" Mayle finally had to leave Provence and moved to Italy.
With the current corona situation this is the closest I'll get to traveling, getting dressed up, staying in a hotel and eating indoors in a restaurant for a while - but it was quite fun to see and the hotel looks beautifu! Also I can totally relate to just sitting down with a plate of food and getting started and my significant other has already finished his entire meal.
Your videos are so entertaining! Just love them!
Lovely!! Nothing like a staycation 💫💕👱♀️ loved the hotel!!
I love when you say you’ll miss the dark! I feel like I’m the only one who gets sadder with every day (more daylight) after winter solstice. I need to move to Svalbard, haha!
Svalbard is certainly on the list to visit. Thank you for your wonderful videos to show us where and how you live.
I know this vid isn’t recent but MG, I love to see a woman fully enjoying her 30’s!
Christopher, man of few words with the “chill” vibe.
What a lovely hotel. But yes, the most magical part is that beautiful blue light! Thank you for posting your videos they are great!
Thank you so so much!

Christoffer is such a cutie. He looks like a big teddy bear. You should have him on more often! Love your channel!!!
Every time you said coffee, I had a sip of mine! Like a drinking game, but safer at 0745 my time in Adelaide, Australia.
Hahaha 🤩🤣🙏
Beautiful!! As well as the scenery 😉 fabulous well put together video..enjoyed that.
Dinner looked wonderful! Nice hotel. Imagined how far the food has to come to get to you.
It was! Yees, the food has travelled far to get here! So crazy!
Thanks for posting! Cute place, I did not imagine you had such things in Svalbard, I guess I thought it was all Quonset huts or something.
Thank you for sharing this hotel visit, how beautiful! Yuu looked stunning, as usual 😄. Christoffer is a natural on your videos...haha. I love it that you put him on the spot to answer you, my husband would be the same way 😄.
Glad you had a night away, mini vacay⭐️. Have a great week and weekend. Always love seeing your videos and thank you for sharing, you are so sweet and funny 🧡🧡
Found your channel, been binge watching, love the hotel video!
Thank you sooo much! 💙🙏
What a lovely hotel! I live in England and we’re currently in lockdown, so I am incredibly jealous, I hope you had a lovely time xx
this was fun to see - you make me want to visit - and I don't like cold weather lol !
I'm going to definitely have to come here for a few weeks. I've already been to Alaska (my dream is to move to Ketchikan), and was supposed to go to Iceland in 2020, but......ya know. I guess I will start planning it out meow. It looks so beautiful and serene
Haha I’ve never heard Grim bark before 😄 I hope the hotel gets busier as the light comes back. Enjoyed the glimpse of the hotel, thanks!
How nice to see the light is coming back. What a good hotel you stayed in. De room and the food are looking good 👍.
Remember when once upon a time we could gather with friends in hotels in comfy chairs for drinks?
Two observations: Christoffer loves to wear hats and appreciates good food. You two are great together!
I HATE those awful hats inside AND AT THE TABLE in a fancy restaurant!
How beautiful! I enjoy your videos so much! Makes me want to visit Svalbard so much!
I like your style of vlog when you take your viewers to your everyday life and diff places in svalbard.
I like the manual typewriter in front of the window at 3:53 Excellent accent piece.
What a beautiful hotel! And the food looked out of this world! Enjoy your adventure in that magical place and thanks for sharing it with us!
💙 Thank you for watching!
YEP!!!!! Another video! Tanks you Cecilia!
Hope you like it! 😍😍
Beautiful hotel and beautiful food too! Svalbard is on my bucket list of places to visit one day, I hope that hotel is still around by the time we get to come!
Thank you for the video! Looks like a great place to stay in such a beautiful place 😍😍 Breakfast looked amazing!!
Thank you TH-cam for recommending Cecilia's channel. I now want to move to Longyearbyen ))
This was so amazing for all of us it’s like being in a time warp I can’t remember when any of us were in a restaurant with people LOL but thank you for the wonderful adventure it was fantastic phenomenal!
Oooh you scrub up well ! 💕 I felt like I was having a little virtual break watching this. Thank you. X
🤩🤩🙏🙏💙💙
Very nice hotel. Your boyfriend is like my husband of 49 years (Norwegian ancestry) quiet reserved. We liked our visit to Svalbard off cruise ship, in summer.
The hotel food & decor very nice, but can’t believe you left room door unlocked. I wish I had some of that clean cool air. Very warm here in Florida.Jeanne
Enjoyed the video, it's very beautiful there. Looking forward to the next one.
You look lovely and the artic tan gag was very funny and made me laugh!🤭🤭 The hotel looks fantastic just like everything else there! Breakfast mmmmm 😋😋 Xx
Another great vlog thanks Cecilia. I really enjoy hearing Kristopher speaking, he has such a gorgeous accent. It does look like a super nice hotel to stay at, though if/when I ever get to Svalbard I was hoping to stay with you guys, so I can cuddle the yummy Grimm.

Hi . Enjoyed with you , your visit to the beautiful hotel. Your videos are special because you have no airs and you speak with a genuine heart. I am from India , thank you for giving me glimpse of a faraway world of which I can only dream of.
