Sleeping on an old postship from the 1960's sounds very exciting. And it is, expecially the tiny cabin where everything that might squeaks and rattles to keep you awake. Hurtigruten (="quick route") is great to watch beautiful lighthouses passing by, to see funny people doing funny things, to play hide and seek, to daydream and to get some serious seasickness. I loved it, and even more I loved the old, beautiful, and sagacious captain I met up on the bridge. Still in love, truly.

After spending a rather shaky night on Hurtigruten, today might have been the best day in photographic matters for me so far. At noon, we arrived in the beautiful town of Ålesund, in the middle between sea, mountains and fjords build in lovely art nouveau.

In the afternoon, we went fishing with three skippers and one old mighty fisherman. He sang melancholic Norwegian songs for me and helped me cheat on our fishing competition. We all lost, anyway, as all the fish was already on board when we started. (Enjoy the 2nd part, as the 1st will be posted tomorrow.)
