Gryllefjord

Today is good to be lots of posts as we went too many places!

Today we woke up to frost on everything! It was below freezing and we have this little step we can push a button to bring it out on the side of the car to help step up into the side door (or take our muddy shoes off on so we don’t track it inside). Well we leave it out and then put it back in before we head out (if you don’t the car makes a loud continuous buzzing noise when you start it until you put it back in). Well we tried to put it back in this morning and nothing happened! It was frozen! We had to wiggle it a bit until we got it to go back in! Crazy! So we put it in for the night so we don’t have to worry about it in the morning.

We headed off and started off driving to Gryllefjord. I hadn’t originally been planning on going there (if we were a few days earlier we would have caught a ferry to there from Lofoten, but it stopped running before we got there so we drove out and around). There didn’t seem to be much there, but we needed some groceries and there are not many grocery stores up here where we are so we headed on over to spy on that. Well the town was actually really fun to wander through! Amazing views and lots of fun art and stuff. We walked to the end of the road and found a pier where we could see all kinds of sea urchins and jellyfish and fishes! Plus found lots of broken urchin shells and I didn’t realize they could be so colorful! It was absolutely freezing out, but we had fun on our wander through town!Read more
