Pages from Lofoten

Moving on to the Lofoten Islands now, which was the fourth stop on our Norwegian cruise this summer. Out itinerary gave Leknes as the port of call, but we moored in the bay between Leknes and Gravdal and went ashore in the ship's tenders. There was a shuttle bus to Leknes but we'd been there before so we decided to explore the countryside on a circular walk which took in Gravdal instead.

(Numbers are a mixture of my page counts for 2025 and 2026.)

115. Lofoten

The usual sub-title page, with two strips on the left and then a block of photos and journalling.

1 & 2. Let's Go Exploring

I'd reserved all the postage-stamp paper strips that I needed for sub-title pages and that gave me two left which have found their homes on the opposite sides of this double page with 11 photos from our walk. The title is a sticker that I otherwise probably wouldn't have used, and I've added 'Haugheia' (the hill we climbed) as a sort of subtitle running vertically on the left. It blends in to the background, but I don't mind that and I'm happy to repeat these alpha stickers which have only appeared on one other page so far.

116. Buksnes Kirke

Finally a page for Gravdal's main church which was built in the 'dragon style'. It's on a slight hill and visible for miles around.
