Hammerfest

Continuing our journey - our primary stop today was the most northerly city of Hammerfest, but first there was a quick stop at Havoysund, where one person joined the vessel and three people disembarked - to be greeted by family.
At Hammerfes we had a quick jaunt around the bay to stretch our legs, and to replenish the tonic water supplies.
We then moved on to stop off at Oksfjord, a remote community tucked away down a deep fjiord the lady announcer advised that her home was hereabouts, and as we left, she advised that her village was tucked up an even more remote fjord, surrounded by high mountains (1200m) and with a glacier a little further up the inlet. Apparently, in the summer months, with no night-time, sleep does not feature too strongly-parties can start at any time of the day.
There was an early evening stop at Skervoy and overnight at Tromso and Finnsnes.Leggi altro
