The tidal current in Saltstraumen is an excursion that was offered as well by Hurtigruten from Bodoe but hoever I talked about it afterwards they said it is nothing special at all and it was a waste of money !
Maybe that applies only to certain times of the year, maybe they had been there in a bad time, when the best part of it was over already.
Saltstraumen is a tidal currant that makes a special suface on the water, like it would be boiling and this effect comes by the high tide of the ocean flowing into the fjord, that is what the brochure explained.

Looking at the northern horizon at midnight - across the sound at Bodø - I am mesmerized at the sun in retrograde motion. What is the sun doing _there_ in the sky? I guess it is really true after all...
