Harstad - Risoyhamn

My 1st host in Scandinavia, a very warm welcome by Mr Frode & his partner Faith

We have breakfast together on the morning I took my ship to Risoyhamn

Another shock await for me....

I took the wrong ship as 2 ship is parking on the port

I took the one with the ship logo same with my printed boarding pass, do not alert that every ship has it's own name on the body which same with the name of ship on the boarding pass

Again, I rush to another ship parked beside this in allowed 5 mins before they closed the gate....

Boarding successfully!!!

 View from the ship to City of Harstad

We has been warned by the crew the weather today is not good

They asked me whether wanna change my plan if they can't board in Risoyhamn

I don't get what they mean to 'change' my plan

Insisted to board the ship and going to meet my 1st work exchange host in Risoyhamn

Lofoten - the ship I boarded

 Hopefully, this is just a fake skin & skull of a polar bear

Hunting polar bear is prohibited as I known

The ship supposed to arrive Risoyhamn by 10.30am

But the announcement came out on 10.15am saying they failed to board Risoyhamn and change their plan to Bodø

That's another shock to me... 

Bodø is far away at South contrary with the direction of mine in North

We have at least 4 people complain in peace regarding the new arrival point

How are we going to proceed our plan if the ship bring us farther than our original destination?

Some of the passenger had already booked their flight ticket or hotel in Svolvær not far away from Risoyhamn

Finally, they return to Harstad for good, cross finger

and I asked for tomorrow another ship from Harstad to Risoyhamn again

The receptionist of Lofoten are so kind to help me called my Risoyhamn host reagrding the delay of my schedule due to the bad weather today

She even help me arrange another ship to go in Risoyhamn on tomorrow

 I just never expect I'm going to board a cruise transfer from only a ship

  A cruise with 9 stories in total

 Deck area the top

They even have a viewable room of sauna

 

 And a hot Jacuzzi on the deck area

Which I can't even bear the chill while only taking a photo outside here

I think Irish will like this 

My cozy little cabin they gave me tonight, as I failed to board Lofoten and have no place for over night

What more can I said to Hurtigruten beside 'Thank You'?
