A short heads up about the last few days before going on about the Lofoten.
We wake up under a cloudy sky. Time is to drive for the next couple of days. We have to get to Bodø in order to take a ferry to Moskenes. The Lofoten! A dream to get there once. Pointy peaks rising 1000m out of the sea. Let’s see if it’s worth all the fuzz.

Ow yeah, in between Trondheim and Bodø, there’s not that much to see anyway!

Just 1300km more to go. Not something we’ll do in a day. Speed limit is 90km/h max, but most of the time it’s 70km/h. That’s going to take some time.

First day we stop around Soknedal, not so far from Trondheim. Not the most beautiful place, but hey, we’re next to a lake and we’re just here to eat and sleep.

We leave early and have a long day of driving ahead of us. You’d think it’s boring, but the scenery we pass by is phenomenal. An absolute feast for the eye! I would like to make some drone shots of the never-ending landscape we pass by, but the wind is to strong and I wouldn’t like my drone to and up under the other side of the country.

We almost make it to Mo-I-Rana. We take place next to a noisy river. Eat, sleep and repeat. 😉

Up early today and ready for the last few hours of driving. We didn’t book the ferry to Moskenes and have to wait in line for 3 hours before embarking. Leon sleeps and we play some card games. Time flies when you’re having fun! 😉

Finally we can get on the boat. It’s not the first ferry we take in Norway. To start with the crossing from Denmark and some more in Norway itself. This one was by far the worst. And the longest.

You’d expect them to take a new boat for this “long” trip (4h). Nope. The boat takes me back to some time in the 70’s when I wasn’t even born. Old. And not the best friend of waves. It was the first time I’ve taken a boat (and this was not my first boat ride) I’ve seen so many people get sick. Ok, the weather was not so nice, but not that bad either. The puking bags were all over the place. One lady went into the toilet after 20’ and didn’t come out until we arrived in the harbor of Moskenes.
