Toward the hurtigruten


Today, we leave Lofoten to the south on a modern longship.

But before that, we pack all our things under a grey sky, happy not to have lost anything in the storm when arriving.

We leave Ramberg with some wind, sometimes helpful, and some clouds playing with the mountains.


Still this incredible water color at the end of a fjord !

We have to go through this evil, long and deep tunnel !
 

But we don't seem to be digestible and it throws us on the other side. Nice lunch with Vinciane's parents, around some duck meat and potatoes. ;-).

 

As the E10 is borring and full of nervous norwegian drivers, we take several detours on small roads to get to the coastal express's stop. Unfortunately, we can't escape climbing a col, but are rewarded with wonderful views.

 


The sunny coast is so colorful we almost forget all recent rainy days we had in these legendary islands.

Now let's wait for the boat in Stamsund, expected at 10PM.


When we hear the horn of an hurtigruten boat at 6, we panic a bit before understanding it's the northward express. We have a look at it, to see how people get on the boat with their bikes.


On the free dock, some guys try to fish, with various success.


When the boat arrives at last, we say goodbye to Vinciane's parents, who helped and supported us a lot for these difficult days.

Monique, Luc, thank you, and see you soon !
We finally get onboard, toward Bergen, thinking about relaxing for the cruise !
