Hurtigruten

This is a picture of the ship, Richard With, were we had our lunch today.



Hurtigruten started in the 1890s as steam ships sailing between Bergen on the south-western coast and Kirkenes up North by the Russian boarder. For almost a century it was the main way of transportation of mail, goods and people along the cost of Norway. Today they have new boats - cruise ships - that patrol the coast. We occasionally use them when we go to the Lofoten Islands.
