Today I said goodbye to the Lofoten Islands. My next destination are the Vesterålen Islands, an archipelago a little further to the north(east). Since it was supposed to rain on and off all day, I extended the drive from about three hours to a whole day. This also gave me the opportunity to visit the Hurtigruten Museum in Stockmarknes.
