The original plan was Lofoten → Tromsø. I was slow booking the ferry and the desirable crossing times were sold out, so I have a half-rest day in Bodø before boarding the 2:00pm ferry to Moskenes. That ferry ride is 3.5 hours, so after arriving in Moskenes around 5:30pm, I will ride 2h24m to my accomodation in Svolvær Lofoten. If that takes me 3 hours and I arrive at 8:30pm, it will still be mid-day daylight! I'm still only one day behind my original plan.
Bodø to Moskenes (ferry) then on to Lofoten (5h35m, 124km driving) Ferry info Timetable for Jun 30 #
Lofoten to Tromsø (6h24m, 421km)
Ferry nominal departure is 2pm. Check-in by 1pm.
I was checked in a bit before noon. We departed 11 minutes early at 13:49.
We arrived around 17:25 for 3h36m elapsed time.
Then I rode until 20:33 (8:33pm) to the campground for 3h8m elasped ride time
on a google nominal time of 2h29m (39m over or +26% not counting the ferry). Ignore the ride log calculator for this one as it has all the ferry waiting time and ferry passage time included.
