Bodø

It took us ten hours to travel to Bodø and we passed the arctic circle with about 3 hours to go - they announced it which I thought was pretty cool plus there's a little marker on the ground. The scenery was the most amazing yet - forests, snow capped mountains, waterfalls - all with sparse towns in between. Loved it.

When we arrived the weather was surprising -  23 degrees in the Arctic circle. We got settled and then went for a walk at 10pm to watch the midnight sun. While the sun set in Trondheim it didn't get fully dark, but here the sun never actually set - it rested just above the horizon and then rose again. It was always daytime.

We only briefly walked around the town the next two days as we were not as lucky with the weather, although we did manage to climb to a viewpoint over Bodø.
