A nice journey of Philippe from the island of Spitzberg in the Svalbard archipelago (the visit of the coal mine with the little train, Longyearbyen, the meeting with the Lutheran female priest in the church-the rifle for the protection against the bears-the chalet, the mass in the open air-the moment of friendliness with the Norwegian people and the eating of sausages) to the railway track in the forest-the rail bicycle- and the Namsen Salmon and Train Experience (the fishermen eating and sleeping in the train on the bridge-the best salmon river of Norway) passing by the ghost town of Pyramiden (the treaty of Svalbard of 1920, the Soviet coal mine settlement with its theater, swimming pool, schools and houses, the showcase, the closing of the mine in 1998, the visit of the mine with Johan), by the railway station of Lonsdal-Luonosvagge (the station master giving a cup of coffee to Philippe, the daily life of the station master), by the travel by train (the talk with the knitting women-the tradition to knit warm sweaters for the winter-) and by the Lofoten Islands (the beautiful landscapes of mountains and of the sea, the cod fishing).
