Bergen  to  Senja Island


Our hotel in Bergen...at 5.30am...Pete and I left the hotel for the airport to catch a flight to Tromso in the north of Norway...


Our plane had propellors....it was a short trip, just over an hour...


We picked up another car from the airport and headed south to Senja Island...it was a warm and sunny day,  the next few photos were taken between Tromso and Senja....


I wasn't expecting snow on the mountains...nor did I think they would be so big...





The water in the fiords was so clear...I loved walking along the water's edge and looking at the rocks...


They were so colourful....could have spent hours looking at them...


Another car ferry ride to Senja Island...


Almost at our destination....Mefjordvaer...a small fishing village.



These mountains on the right were probably the most astounding scene that we had seen all day.


Unreal....unbelievable...they were huge and looked so two dimensional...we were lucky to see them with the afternoon sun shining on them.


The view from our village across the fiord...


The village was surrounded by mountains and water...


On our walk after dinner Pete and I spotted these cute little seagulls...


Lots of seagulls....not surprising...it's a fishing village.
