This morning we got up early to have a quick look at Harstad from the ship; it looks a beautiful place so gutted we couldn’t get off. Only there enough time to collect the fishy treats for the evening meals 🐠
This afternoon we were treated to gorgeous blue skies and sunshine again, I even had to wear the Oakleys! We stopped at Stokmarknes; the birthplace of Hurtigruten and where you’re able to see the old ship MS Finnmarken. It was a lovely little town full of the traditional red Norwegian buildings.
Later we sailed past the Trollfjord. The last time we were here we were watching Aurora dancing over the mountains so it was lovely to see it in the day as well. It’s a beautiful but narrow stretch of water below jagged peaks and mountain walls. We were lucky enough to be here during sunset this time; so Trollfjord is now always going to be a special place for me.
This evening more memories were made as we saddled up and rode Icelandic horses across a moonlit beach underneath the twinkling stars and Aurora. What an incredible experience it was and one I will never forget.
Aurora has been very well behaved again tonight making it the third time we’ve seen her on the trip.
