Bodø

0613 Got on the ferry to Bodø from Sandnessjøen; the conductor doesn’t speak English. But I got my ticket and sat myself on a seat with a table.

0724 This is the second family sitting next to me eating at the table. Most of them got their food from outside; good idea, ferry food is expensive, nothing compared to airport food though.

0814 Crossed the Artic circle. Saw a tiny landmark on an island on the left.

1000 Dozed off at some point.

1023 Started watching Dimension 20 on Dropput.tv.

1045 Interestingly bare hilly islands where no one lives. The windows of the ferry are so dusty, the phone autofocus doesn’t work.

1108 All these tiny islands with big hills, I want to hike on them.

1122 I wonder when the real adventure will start. It doesn’t feel like it has started yet.

1149 Reached Bodø.

1228 Managed to find food; Kebab.

1319 Sitting at a park, itching to be on the bike. But I already booked my Airbnb here and made a point to take it easy at the end of each leg. It’s odd how addictive being on open road is! I suppose I could have spent a few more days in Helgeland; A Father, travelling with his two kids, tried to convince me to go back to Dønna and bike around there, even showed me photos of sunset etc. He told me he doesn’t understand why everyone goes to Lofoten, when there are perfectly great places here in Helgeland. I suppose I’ll find out soon.
