Svolvaer and Lofoton Islands

Today's tour provides for more scenic beauty as we drive through the Lofoton Islands. The extent of our driving concludes in the tiny village of Henningsvær. The village is connected to the mainland by a 257-meter single lane bridge.

The main livelihood of this town is cod fishing. The season is just beginning and we view the first catches on the drying racks. That's the good news. The bad news is the smell.
The ultimate goal of walking this city, other than attempting to give CJ a heart attack is the uniquely located soccer field.
Obviously, the pitch looks a bit different at this time of year.

On the way out of town the bus stops at a Viking Museum where there is a replicated Viking long house.
We stop at a small fishing village for a photo op. They have huge sheds for working on boats throughout the year.
This boat hasn't been tended to recently. The tide has gone out and he's too tight to the dock and listing. There was a second one suffering the same malady of inattention. They need floating docks.
Enjoying the scenery of the Lofoton Islands.
A simple Luteran Church.
This is our final northern sunset before moving on to Oslo.
