Very light all night, this, coupled with my concerns about finding a petrol station, meant I didn't sleep too soundly!
Driving north I was relieved to find a petrol station just 12 miles up the road.
Caught the ferry from Brennes to Jektvika with no problems, crossing over the Arctic Circle about 25 minutes into the voyage.
Continuing north we found ourselves on the last ferry of the day (for us), between Agskarden and Foroya. From here we had a 120km slog to Bodo. The weather had turned and we found ourselves being blown all over the road, dark clouds overhead. We passed the second largest glacier in Norway, very impressive.
The bridges in Norway are quite amazing. They seem to flow from the road and are fantastic pieces of architecture. [Mitch, I think you'd be impressed.]
Managed to book passage on the afternoon ferry from Bodo to Lofoton Islands for Thursday. Arrived in Bodo around 7.30pm, both knackered and
in need of warm food we cooked up a large chicken curry and fried rice, all demolished within minutes!
Looking forward to a few days rest and pottering around Lofoten before catching the Hurtigrutin Boat back to Bergen on Sunday night.
