Padinago's trip to Norway in 2025

Day 02 - Driving to Svolvær

We had a very good sleep, a very good bed!
Breakfast around 7am, excellent and lots of choice.
Around 9am we leave. We get a bit of rain while driving but each time we get out for pictures it is dry!
We see a group of reindeer twice. On our way we stop for pictures of an old ship, the owner starts talking with us. His name is Einar, and he owns the ship and he is waiting for the ‘buoy’ to be inspected. He shows us his collection of stuff like ‘Big E’s hot rod garage’ etc... after half an hour we leave.
We drive on through beautiful Lofoten. Several photo stops.
In the afternoon we reach Svolvar and walk/drive around. We make a reservation at Bacalao.
We have a shower and then dinner at 7pm at Bacalao. We both take halibut and for Nathalie a dessert, lemon tart.
