August 10 Narvik Fjellet (Day 318)
We have a nice day ahead, with a chance of rain tomorrow so we want to take advantage today! We caught the local bus that took us up the hill past the Arctic University of Norway to Narvik Fjellet (‘mountain’, pronounced fee-yell-ah), a ski area overlooking town.
A gondola takes you up in about 4 minutes!
There’s a small restaurant at the top with outdoor picnic tables.
An expansive view over the fjord.
And a view to the mountains with glaciers to the east.
And underfoot there are wild blueberries everywhere!
We took a short walk on a narrow trail looking for a place Robert could fly the drone, but there were too many like-minded people walking the trail, many with dogs. We decided it wasn’t the best circumstances for drone flying!
We thought of hiking down the mountain, but we bought a round trip ticket, so we enjoyed the view as we descended!
