Partimos puntualmente, 7:30 a.m., bordeando varios fiordos hasta llegar al puente que une el continente con la isla de Senja. Gracias al GPS nos hemos salvado de una multa por exceso de velocidad. Había un radar móvil entre poblaciones: dos policías escondidos en un área de descanso pequeña, uno entre un coche y una furgoneta (sin ninguna identificación, por supuesto) y otro detrás de la furgoneta con las puertas abiertas; con cámaras, trípodes y dispositivos varios para la ocasión. ¡De chiste!
Una vez en la isla de Senja hemos parado al cigarrillo y recoger caracolillos (gratis) de recuerdo. De nuevo en ruta, a medida que rodeábamos la isla por el lado derecho, las casas estaban más dispersas; campos de cultivo, ovejitas y vacas....y a unos 50 km más, altas montañas muy abruptas con neveros y numerosas cascadas al borde del mar. La carretera en no muy buenas condiciones, bacheada , pero con unas vistas extraordinarias. El agua del mar y fiordos es cristalina y de color verde esmeralda ,con alguna que otra playa de arena blanca, en la que algunos veraneantes se aventuraban a bañarse. ¡Qué frío!.
Para llegar al destino, otro 50 km más. Varias veces hemos atravesado túneles de reciente construcción que reducen los tramos entre costa. (alguno tan recientes que ni lo reconocía el GPS actualizado). Foto impresionante en un mirador al aire antes de llegar a destino.
Gryllefiord, destino y punto de salida con el ferry a Andenes (continente). Cola de espera (dos horas pues hemos llegado a las 13:00 p.m. y sale a las 15:00 p.m.); las bicis y motos primero, je, je... y coches y auto-caravanas detrás.
Comida de bocadillo de supermercado y charlita al sol (aunque fresco). Las chicas hemos aprovechado mientras tanto para hacernos la manicura, bajo la atónita mirada de seis fornidos alemanes, ya entrados en años y cargadas las motos haya el manillar.

Puntualmente atraca el ferry y comienzan a desembarcar; luego embarque. ¡Ajá! ¡Motos primero! éramos muchas, 10, y tenían que colocarnos. ¡Sortudos! Entramos tras los alemanes; César y Paloma, Jesús y Merche y....Toño y María. Mientras los cuatro primeros estábamos buscando los anclajes de las motos, Toño giraba para aparcar y María decidió bajarse antes de la moto sin avisar. Conclusión: caída lateral de moto y moteros, "estación", y cuatro fornidos alemanes y César ayudando a levantar moto y moteros. (Para haberse roto una pierna). He filmado lo que he podido.
Acabada la maniobra de amarre de motos, subimos a cubierta dónde se encontraba la ventanilla de pago del trayecto. Duración 1h y 40 min.
El día con un sol maravilloso, ya en el barco divisamos una curiosa franja de nubes en el horizonte sobre el mar. En media hora estábamos inmersos en una niebla espesa. Y en cubierta, como buenos españoles que somos, contábamos sucesos de espíritus o bailábamos "jotas aragonesas" para pasar al tiempo. La mar un poco revuelta, (ya nos habíamos tomado la Biodramina, medicación contra el mareo), el ferry se balanceaba cada vez más y las sillas con persona incluida, se deslizaban por la cubierta de un lado a otro.
Lo que nos temíamos, al arribar al puerto de Andenes la niebla y nubes persistían. Registro en el hotel y recogida de llaves de las cabañas (hytter) en el el puerto. Compra en el súper y cena. Mañana iremos a safari de las ballenas, si el tiempo lo permite. Dicen que si no logramos verlas nos devuelven el dinero.
Marvelous day, clear and sunny, 11º centigrades. Eagering to ride and go on curves!
We set off at 7:30 sharp, bordering on some fiords till the bridge that connects the continent with Senjia island. Thanks to the GPS device we did´t get a speed limit fine. There was a mobile radar between villages: two policemen hidden at a resting area at the side of the road, one in the middle of a car and a van (without identification or notice) and the other at the back of the van with the rear door opened; with cameras, tripods and all sort of devices. Funny thing!
Once at Senja island, we´ve stopped to smoke and to collect some shells (they were for free) as souvenirs.
Again on our way, as going on around the island on the right side, the houses are here and there, more separated; crops, cows and sheeps....and 50 km on, high mountains very stepped with snowfields and many waterfalls by the sea. the road was not at very good conditions, very bumpy and with extraordinary views. The sea and fiords water is completely clear and in emerald color with beaches of white sand where some people were bathing. What a cold!!
To arrive to our target, 50 km more. We´ve gone through some tunnels some of them quite new (so new that they were not in the GPS that was recently updated). We´ve taken a great picture on a view point on which we seemed to be in the middle of the air, before arriving to the target.
Griyefiord, target and point of taking the ferry to Andenes (the continent). We´ve been queuing for to hours (arriving at 13:00 and departure at 15:00); bicycles and motorbikes first, ha ha... cars and vans after.
Lunch time, a sandwich from the supermarket and a little chat in the sun (although it was chilly) The ladies have been doing their nails under the astonished sight of a group of strong German men with motorbikes loaded till the handles.
The ferry arrived sharp and cars, vans and bikes got off, then we got on. Aha! Motorbikes first!!
We were many, 10, and they had to decide were could we park. Lucky ones! We got on after the Germans; César and Paloma, Jesús and Merche and ... Toño and María. While the four of us were looking for the ropes to fix the motorbikes to the floor, Toño was just turning to park and María decided on her own, to get down from the motorbike without saying it. To end: motorbike and riders fell off on the floor quite close to the german bikes, and four strong German men and César helped them to get up all. (they could get broken the legs) I´ve filmed something.
Ended the fixing of the bikes we went up to the main deck to pay the fares. The trip lasted 1h and 40 min.
As I mentioned before, the day was sunny, on the boat we spotted a curious line made up of clouds at the horizon on the sea. Half an hour later we were in the fog and clouds. While on the deck, as good Spaniards, we were telling horror stories and dancing "jotas aragonesas", just to entertain during the time aboard. The sea a little bit troubled (we´ve taken some pills to avoid sea sickness), the ferry was swinging more and more, and the chairs with the people on, were moving from side to side on the deck.
As we suspected, at arriving at Andenes port, the fog and clouds were still there. Booking at the hotel, keys for the cabins (hytter) close to the port. Shopping at the supermarket and dinner. Tomorrow we are going to a Whale Safary, if the weather let us so. They say that if we can´t see the m , they refund us the money.
