From Hackney To Husky In Norway

           “An airport in Norway is putting the cart before the hackney cab with the addition of a ‘dog taxi’…The sled, which harnesses 8 Alaskan huskies to whisk passengers on the 45-minute journey from Kirkenes Airport to the Kirenes Snow Hotel, is the first of its kind in the country… Ronny Ostrem, the hotel’s chief executive & promoter of the scheme…said it was a resounding success’…We met 100 reindeer on the way back as we were driving south… It really good felt to get started’. Ostrem hopes to make the canine cab a permanent feature…the trip is expected to set riders back 2,300 krone ($400).”
