On the ferry to Fiskebol


Finally the tiny little ferry arrived to take us to Fiskebol. It was only about a 20 minute boat trip, but we all went up on deck and took some pretty photos. Sea sickness isn't that great when you want to take photos, that's for sure! But after we got away from Melbu, the water was smoother, and we were right out in the middle of some amazing Fjords. We saw some lovely little houses on their own islands, it must be really beautiful to live there.

Melbu Ferry

As we drove down to our cabin, we needed to take a ferry from a place called to Melbu to Fiskebol on the Lofoten Island. When we arrived, we queued up to get onto the ferry only to find that we couldn't make it on the 2pm ferry (we missed it by one car!) so we had an hour to explore the cute little town of Melbu. The boys managed to pick up some cheap fishing equipment too, even though the salesman must have thought them crazy tourists!
