Meeting a friend

Today's trip went to the island of the Lofoten, were we met with Roland and his family, a friend I know from a school I did last year. A very pleasant trip and I think the ferry we took from Bodo to the islands was the last one for a while.


First thing Roland said, after I took off my helmet was “Man, they got you!”. He was referring to the mosquito bites I guess. I stopped counting them, but my face looks like I would be in second puberty. Or have the black plague. The good thing is, they only start itching after three days. The bad thing? It itches like hell.


It was a pleasant evening, talking about cars, bikes, a bit about work and the company. Not too much about work, as he is on his sabbatical as well :) They rented a house, right at the beach and I think they have a splendid time up here, travelling through Scandinavia, renting a house for a week or two, and then go to the next place. Their son told us quite proud about the fish he caught, and the kids seem to enjoy it here definitely as well.


From today on, navigation will be rather easy. I simply enter “North Cape” in to my GPS and follow the the pink line on the display :)


Oh, and something for the geographicly challenged like myself: We are now further north than any big town in Alaska.
