Boarding the MS Lofoten

This article is part of the series “2019-02: Northern Norway”.

After some days in Bjørnevatn near Kirkenes I start my journey home today. But I’ll take a long, long detour!

Some hours ago I boarded the Hurtigruten ship MS Lofoten. It’s both the oldest and the smallest of the ships that serve the coastal route Bergen—Kirkenes. It was built 1964 and is therefore older than me. It can accommodate 153 passengers.

I will travel four days and leave the MS Lofoten in Trondheim where I hope to catch the train back to Sweden. I already bought WiFi access for the next four days and found a nice place for blogging.

    Will auch. Mit Ganzkörperantikotzpflaster muss es doch gehen!!
    Aber Hurtigruten ist ja mit jedem Schiff toll.

    Johanna bin dabei :-)

    Annika zum Glück war nur der erste Abend fies.

    Margrit Schneider Fortunately it was only the first evening where I felt sick and only for a short time. The rest of the journey was relaxed.
