Bodø, 14 June

We were on the last leg of our journey here, and Travis had to leave us a day earlier to get back to Oslo for a course with his masters program. Lucas and I took a ferry to the mainland of Norway to the city of Bodø and stayed the night before our 18-hour train ride the following day down to Oslo. Another gracious Rotarian welcomed us into his home for our night in Bodø. We enjoyed dinner and a fishing trip with Dag and his wife, Evy, during our brief time in the city. They brought us to an area known as Saltstraumen, which is a sound with the strongest tidal current in the world, and renowned for its excellent fishing. We did well that night...



Lucas was the master fisherman this evening, but I liked posing with the many large cod he caught. I did catch one of these, however.


We fished until late into the night, after which we proceeded to Dag and Evy's house to cook up some of the fish for a late night snack.
