Its natural beauty is unreal as well, with huge peaks jetting straight out of the fjords and surrounding the town.\u00c2\u00a0 We spent New Years here and although at first it seemed like a quiet little town with nothing to do, suddenly around midnight thousands of locals poured into the streets setting off the finest run of amateur fireworks I have every seen.\u00c2\u00a0 We were told that this would be the last year for the fireworks as it was going to be outlawed because to many people had been getting hurt over the years.\u00c2\u00a0 It seems that the rest of the world is getting law crazy just like the United States, although I have a feeling that the locals may not adhere to this law all too well.<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that we were ducking in fear as rogue bottle rockets and airborne spinners whizzed by our noggins, but this excitement is something that should be preserved instead of legislated against.\u00c2\u00a0 I guess it is just becoming the way of the world to make a law instead of learning some tolerance for one day each year.\u00c2\u00a0 Lawmaking aside, this is a hot spot for New Years.\u00c2\u00a0 Where the Narvikians lack in population, they certainly make up for in zest.\u00c2\u00a0 This New Years will certainly be one that I will never forget.<\/p>\n<p>The day after new years we actually missed a turn on the way out of town and ended up at the Viking Hotel in Bjerkvik, a small town in the same area.\u00c2\u00a0 Here we met the owner of the hotel and a few of his friends.\u00c2\u00a0 They told us of the plans to remodel the hotel and put a huge Nazi Junker 52 airplane from WWII on the roof of the building that was recovered from the bottom of the bay.\u00c2\u00a0 Mark and I had a chance to go with the guys to see the plane in the process of restoring it that evening.\u00c2\u00a0 The two days around New Years could not have worked out better for us.\u00c2\u00a0 Check out the photos below.<\/p>\n<p><a
