Through The Porthole - Day 6

Bonus shot for you today, as for once the entire porthole was filled with interesting stuff. After a slightly rocky overnight voyage, we docked here in Reine (pronunciations seem to differ depending which expedition team member you speak to, between "Ray-ner" and "Rhine-er"). So here is the view to the left...
...while this is the view to the right. 

We'll be here until lunchtime, and other than kayaking and walking, the main event of the morning is a bus ride to the charming old fishing village of Å. As part of the "Foxes" group, our bus isn't scheduled to leave until 10.30, which we initially thought was a bit of a rip, since the last bus back is at 12.00.

Then we realised this was in fact a benefit. The sun doesn't rise here until 9.45am, and sets again at 14.35! So those on the earlier buses will be going to Å in the dark.
