Norway Gravdal (Lofoten Islands) Day 10

Today we woke up to our ship already anchored at Gravdal, which was the place we were visiting today. We started off with a light breakfast on the Lido Deck 14 and then went back to our room to don our winter woollies. Even though it is not as cold as is has been previously. It's supposed to be 6 degrees today.

We caught the tender  boat at around 1000am and then hopped on a bus into the little town of Gravdal. 

We grabbed a hot chocolate/coffee and then browsed the shops in the shopping Centre.

After that we hopped back onto the bus and headed to the church the Buksnes church which is little hidden gem that encapsulates the rich cultural and historical tapestry of this remote Norwegian archipelago. Built in 1905, Buksnes Church is a striking example of traditional Norwegian architecture. Its distinctive red exterior and intricate detailing are a testament to the region's deep-rooted cultural heritage. We didn't get ab opportunity to wander through the church's hallowed halls as it was sadly shut.rs.

The church is surrounded by the stunning Lofoten scenery, The view from the church offers panoramic views of fjords, mountains, and the ever-changing Arctic skies.  By crossing the road and walking up a short hill, we came across a hiking trail which we decided to explore. We were captivated by the dramatic landscapes. where the reflections of towering trees, boundless skies, and majestic mountains are mirrored in the tranquil water.

All in all it was a wonderful way to spend and hour or two. After we had our fill of the scenery, we jumped back onto the bus to take us back to the dock where we would catch our tender boat back to the ship.
