Saturday 4th March 2017

This morning we crossed the Arctic Circle. It's another beautiful day - here's the view out of the back of the ship from where we had breakfast.

At about 11.00 we stopped for a short time at Nesna.

These interesting looking characters came to see someone off.

This is the posh lounge upfront on the 7th floor. It is strictly forbidden to "reserve" seats here by leaving them with coats or bags on them.

Also on deck 7 is this rather "ye olde worlde" cafe. They definitely do not have ye olde worlde prices.

There is also a fitness room up here but there doesn't seem to be much call for it.

We saw this fine suspension bridge at Sandnessjoen. There is much less snow on the ground at sea level now we have come further south.

I went on shore here briefly but Ann stayed on board.

These huge chain links were on the quay. What are they for? We left Sandnessjoen at about 13.00.

At about 16.00 we docked at Bronnoysund.

We walked around.

This statue welcomes you to a shop.

Here's the main street.

Apparently Bronnoysund is in the very middle of Norway - half way between the northern and southern extremities.

Polarlys docked at Bronnoysund.

About 17.30 we passed Torghatten - the famous mountain with a hole in it!
