Svolvaer is an adorable town and some people got off the ship and spent a night. We just got off and walked around for 45 minutes.
The mountains were majestic.
Fishermen's cabins, which have been converted into tourist cabins, can be found all over town.
Goat Mountain with it's 2 horns 1.5 m apart. People have been known to jump between the 2 horns.
Some people spent the time in port at the Magic Ice. There were ice sculptures, as well as bars, tables and chairs made of ice. Supposedly, you were given a parka and gloves but they were not enough to keep you warm. Cost of admission was NOK165 (roughly $20) and it included a shot of their signature drink in an ice glass.
As we left port, there were racks of cod drying. Svolvaer is known for cod and all things related to cod--cod fishing, fish processing and boat traffic.
