Wednesday morning I went down to the ferry dock in Bod pronounced more like 'budda' for the record. I got myself a ticket for the 3 hour trip to Moskenes a hamlet near the southwestern end of the Lofoten Island chain. I'm in the process of working my way NE back towards the mainland.

Dermed ble til at vi dryde til 9 fr vi sto opp. Til gjengjeld slapp Eirik vekke Jan Slve i dag.Etter at fokosten og kaffen var inntatt pakket vi som vanlig sakene vre og satte oss i bilen for starte da http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Norway/Nord-Norge/Lofoten/blog-306771.html I just want to add a comment about photos since I will hopefully be able to upload more frequently now.

Vi begynte da ogs diskuere hva som skulle vre dagens program og ble enige om kjre til Henningsvr Kabelvg og Svolvr.Etter ha satt oss i bilen og lagt ut p veien igjen ble det ganske raskt et par stopp for ta bilde av noen broer. I tillegg ble det en stopp for se p en av skulpturene i serien som heter rdq http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Norway/Nord-Norge/Lofoten/blog-306492.html Ettter intens pning og lukking av glidelser i telt og sovepose samt diverse annen skrampling og ramling klarte Eirik til slutt overevise Jan Slve om at det var p tide st opp snn i halv ni tiden i dag tidlig. Da var det forsvidt s varmt i teltet at det kanskje var like greit komme seg ut. Men som vanlig var vi blandt de senste p teltplassen til g igang med frokosten. I dag var http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Norway/Nord-Norge/Lofoten/blog-306116.html Ettersom grsdagens plan gikk i vasken mtte det legges nye planer for dagen i dag. Vi hadde jo allerede betalt for en natt til p Moskenes Camping s vi fant ut at vi skulle benytte dagen til noen eksursjoner i omrdet her. Planen i dag besto av stedene Flaksnes Ramberg og Nusfjord. Vi satte frst kursen mot Nusfjord. Dette er i flge reklamen et spesielt godt bevart fiksevr der man har fors http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Norway/Nord-Norge/Lofoten/blog-305726.html I flge Yr.no skulle vi i dag vkne til strlende sol fra en skyfri himmel men det gjorde vi ikke.
