From Fjords to Fiats

That's good I am also enjoying the TR very much. However, I have not noticed any 'brown' cheese (brunost) on your plate. I came to like it very much when we were there.

Mrs RB is the main cheese eater in our household & one lot of the the brunost was regarded as plenty. Maybe it wasn't a fair judgement

Sandnessjøen. Room with bathroom close to hospital and city center - Houses for Rent in Alstahaug, Nordland, Norway - Airbnb

Apartment- small and clean as expected from reviews but it really needed a bit of maintenance to taps, doors etc. The host was helpful and the location was central enough to get a good look around town. When planning the trip Mrs RB found there was not a lot of choice to be had-perhaps this was a place we should have just taken a hotel room

Sandnessjoen
Sandnessjøen - The Hidden North

We had a 2 night stay here and that was actually plenty for us. Weather was a bit of rain & overall overcast. Basically wandered around the small town & the port area. Really not a lot to do in this season if not hiking and our very small apartment was not ideal to spend a lot of time in. The day trips out to the islands had wound up a couple of weeks before our arrival.

The web tells me built in 1882 in wooden cruciform design with a central spire- locked up at the time of our visit

Was the post office, now apartments with a restaurant on the ground level (flags still at half mast)


A very striking work by an Italian street artist Jorit Agoch. Apparently traditional ritual marks on the cheeks
