Thursday, 30th June 2022 - ØRSTA-VOLDA/Hovden to Florø
A quick hop and a skip from Ørsta down to Florø for better airport opening hours!
The next day we decided to make another short flight a bit further down south (still where the sun doesn’t set further than 6 degrees below the horizon), but to an airport with much better opening hours so we could leave when we had the weather gap!! ...if we had a weather gap being the key phrase!
Nearly there...
...can you see the runway?
Getting closer!
There it is!!
Made it 😃
Florø is beautiful
Had lunch in the sun and some beers… and then got ourselves an unexpected boat tour around the islands and the lighthouses!!!
Before heading back to our hotel Kinn (Chin)
Off the coast of Fløra, is the grassy island of Kinn. The area around Kinn was the central herring area in Norway for the most part of the 19th century. At the height, there lived approximately 15,000 people on Kinn and the surrounding islands in the herring season. Today, there are 15 inhabitants on Kinn.
On the island of Kinn, on the edge of the ocean lies the historic Kinn Church from the 12th century. The church, built in Romanesque style, is the oldest church in the Sunnfjord region. It has long been associated with the legend of St. Sunniva. The church choir is the oldest part of the church, and the lectern is the only preserved example of its kind in Scandinavia.
