Bodø

Arrived here at 13:25hrs, again quite mild so we headed off for the centre, the days certainly aren’t getting any longer and we already feel like evening is approaching, realising it won’t be long before we don’t get any sun at all!

We head off along the harbour path heading for the Bibliotek. With views over the harbour it’s said to be the library with the best views in the world, believable! Bodo was also a European Capital of Culture, 2024, and this is an example why

After a wander we returned via the Cathedral, it’s really plain from the outside but is quite beautiful inside hosting a 10 metre stained glass window and the tower, it has to be said, is ‘different’. Unfortunately they were preparing for a concert so no admission!

We return in complete darkness and head immediately for the jacuzzi…fabulous!

We will be leaving here a little later than originally set due to expected weather in the open waters, dinner has also been brought forward, ominous!
