Yesterday my friend decided to go home a week earlier. We were supposed to take a ferry to Sørøya but now I didn't feel like going there on my own. So I got on the same Hurtigruten as Gyda 12.45 pm and I got off in the harbour of Skjervøy at 19.15 while she continued southbound to Lofoten. I tried to catch the next ferry to Arnøya, but I guess it was too far and bike too heavy so even if I cycled as if it was about life or death, I left the harbour just a second before I arrived. But I was lucky to met a german couple who offered me some coffee. So I just had to wait an hour or so before the last one. I am going to visit Martin and I already told him that I probably wouldn't make the first one. So he'll pick me up later on the other side.
