Day 11   

Queueing for the ferry from Andenes (in the background) to the island of Senja.




Leaving Andenes and the dark clouds are splitting up. May be the sun will start shining?




We told you before that the land between the mountains and the sea were quite flat, didn't we?
If you don't believe us, ask anyone in Andenes City!




Half an hour later, Senja is coming out of the mist, but it still looks quite rainy over there......




As we get closer, the weather changes rapidly, and the first part of Senja is in the sun again.
A lucky fisherman is on his way out, and the seagulls are following.




Out port of destination, Gryllefjord, a small village on the rough coast of Senja.
Clouds are still hanging heavily over inner of the island.




Did you notice the mountaintops above the village on the previous picture?




Few minutes later we have rounded the fiord and are moving up towards the mountainpass
which is only about 170 m asl, but it gives us a wonderful view of Gryllefjord and the peninsula outside.




Everything ready for a barbeque. What has forced us to make that?
Optimism. And an hour fishing in another maelstrom, although not as heavy as Saltstraumen.


  


Not bad after an hour with no bites, except for another family whom only fished for the fun of it,
so somehow we can still say 'we caught fish'.....
Nevertheless it tasted excellent, and we enjoyed a late night-meal.




and that brings us to the end of another fine day
