The outstanding feature of today was our sail through the beautiful, narrow strait of Raftsundet which is the border between Vesterålen & Lofoten, 2 counties of Norway. It was a lovely sunny day, temp about 19° so the deck reminded us of Spanish beaches. Women lying around in bikinis, the men shirtless, me without a coat. Yes!

We sailed into the TrollFjord, for which our ship is named. It was certainly happy snap time. So amazing.  I took so many photos:

The captain takes the ship right into the fjord, then turns it around & takes it out again. ​This photo is taken on the way out:

Earlier this afternoon we visited Stokmarknes which was a pretty little town. It was nestled within the mountains. I’m running out of superlatives to describe the beauty. Hurtigruten say this is “the most beautiful voyage in the world”. I think they are probably right.
