July 4, 2022,Bodø - bei Kjøpstad
After the four-hour ferry ride, I took a short stroll through the center of Bodø. Bodø is only two hundred years old and was also Norway's most heavily damaged city during the Second World War.

Landscape: the pictures speak for themselves. Crossed the so-called Maelstrom in Saltstraumen. This is the world's largest water mass exchange at low tide into high tide. Met Mark for the 3rd time. Was able to persuade him not to camp wildly, but to go with us to the 8-bed room at Bodo Vanderhejm (34 €).
