The ship was still running behind a little bit.  That meant our time in some of the ports was shorter than expected.  Our next stop, Skjervøy, was supposed to be 30 minutes, but in our case it would only be “touch and go”.

Welcome to Skjervøy!

The dock is really just a freight dock.  You can see that Norlines is like a shipping company that uses Hurtigruten to ship things up and down the coast.  The sky was still pretty light out, even though it was already 8:00 pm.  We were too late in the year for the midnight sun, but we were still far enough north to have a lot of sunlight for most of the day.

Cute town

The town itself is very cute, there’s a lot of houses that line the hills.  Trees and lots of green grass everywhere.

A common sight amongst all of the towns, no matter how small are the churches.  Every town has at least one church that you can likely see from the port.  They are big and small, some have been standing since before Wolrd War II.

Yum… FISH!

Another common sight in many of the towns are the fisheries.  Since fishing is such a large part of Norway’s past and current culture and industry, fisheries can be found all over. If you look very closely, you can see…

Blood!

Yup, the fisheries likely generate a lot of waste slurry.  The seagulls know where to get the good stuff from.

With about 10 minutes in the port, we were off to our next desitination.
