Lofoten Islands

[_Sheffjs_]

Well we left our rental car and took a prop plane on the shortest flights ever off the Lofoten islands to Bodø. It is said by locals more like Buda. This is like a long layover and then off to Sweden. The past three nights were spent a short walk from one of the most photographed spots in all Norway. Here we met up with Valksters Per and Else, who like Raymond and Lill in Sortland, both ride their own Valks/Wing. The summer house Per and Else owns was literally two short blocks from the Rorbuer (was a fishermans house said more like a strange way to say root beer) we booked six months ago!  Per took us out on his boat as seen in some pics, he also is a part time boat guide when in town on a larger boat (pictured right outside our window at the Rorbuer) and we decided The following day to book the 6 hour cruise that went to the other side of the south end of the island that is no longer inhabited (pics with misty mountain tops). We were invited over to their house one late evening where we meet many of their neighbors, we had a great time and belly aches from laughing so hard!  We walked home to our fish house at 2am (selfie and Sherry walking down the street). Weather has been fantastic with the only rain day so far was the day we had to drive from Sortland to Reine (Rain-A). So now in Bodø and we will meet up with yet another Wing couple tomorrow night.  So say what you want about FB, on the other side of the globe and all told will meet up with four different couples who share the same love as we do!  Wonderful people who open their homes to us.       Please click on the bottom link first for the map run.  This is a way cool app!! (Thanks Lill!)

We are 3 weeks total.  Germany is last as we will take advantage of a 24hr layover.

You are so welcome. Good to hear that you enjoy the relive app. So pleased to hear that you had a great time in Lofoten. And I guess from what I am reading that my friend Cato has contacted you in Bodø. If so.... he is a great guy  He was the one who showed me a Valkyrie for the first time in 2014 at a bike-meeting in Hattfjelldal 
Be safe my friends

The Relive app is really cool. Is it only a European thing?

Sherry found it on her phone as an app and I believe it work in the states as well. We will try when home. We were turned on to it by our Friends Lill and Raymond in Norway.  Lots more exciting with some mountains.

Jerry & Sherry,

Style ain't about how you look... it's about how you live! You two are no doubt very stylish, indeed!!! Amazing journey, awesome sights, wonderful people, sensational experiences and we all thank you for sharing them with us! Obviously an incredible 'way-point' on your journey of life, and I salute you both for being bold enough to undertake such an Odyssey!

Thank you Bruce, we have seen too many friends and family pass this year that it changes our thoughts on life in general and as Sherry's necklace says, Die with memories not dreams! This will rank very high in the memory department.
