Luftfartmuseum: the hall for WW II
globetrott Says: The Museum of Aviation / Luftfartmuseum has also a large hall dedicated to aircrafts and weapons of WW II. I am not an expert or a fan of this part of the history but I know that there are a lot of people beeing interested in it.in my 2nd photo: a consolidated PBY 5-A...
globetrott Says: The city of Bodoe is full of mainly modern architecture as a lot of the old houses were destroyed in WW II. Nowadays Bodoe is certainly a good place to do some shopping and to take a walk when coming by cruiseship.
Step up the tower / Kontrolltarn
globetrott Says: This is also another interesting part of the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum: The former tower (Kontrolltarn) of the airport is part of the museum now and you can step up that tower and take a look over the airport and see the old instruments of the tower.
a Lockheed U-2 US-spy-aircarft
globetrott Says: Where else on earth will you see a Lockheed U-2 US-spy-aircarft in a museum ? You will also be able to read some stories about one of the pilots of that aircraft that was flying in a hight of 22km and was that way out of reach for the russian army to destroy it. Only once...
globetrott Says: You will be able to enter the cockpit of many of the airplanes in the Aviation Museum in Bodoe and you can take a closer look for the vast number of instruments and buttons there. And you will also see the difference of the cockpit of vintage airplanes like the Junkers JU52...
globetrott Says: Norsk LuftfartsmuseumThe Museum of Aviation is the best museum in Bodoe and it shows a lot of great vintage aircrafts and in a seperate hall also some aircrafts and other exhibits of WW II. On the total you need at least 1-1,5 hours to be able to enjoy all of the exhibits...

Loytnant Karlsens Bar: the bar in the Museum of Aviation
globetrott Says: Loytnant Karlsens Bar in the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum was totally empty when I have been there, but maybe its just used for the coffe-breaks of the convention-area of the museum or when tourgroups are there. I still have to make my mind up between these 2 sandwiches:1) Fokker...
Loevold: Traditional norwegian food
GunnarG Says: This if the realy good place to dine. Its where the lokals go to eat if they are hungry. It not a place for romantic evenings, but it´s realy speasial in its own way. Its actually a cafe. Whale, its often on the menu, but if you take todays spesial, you have dessert and...
smithsgen Says: Bodø's nightlife is ok by Norwegian standards. Bodø should be around the 6 th best nightlife city in Norway, after Tromsø, Stavanger, Bergen, Trondheim and Oslo. Friday and Saturday is the best nights. It doesnt get real busy until midnight and it closes at 4. Sunday to...
PianoKlubb: Live Music for the Oldies
Sesded Says: Perhaps the best tip regarding Bodø nightlife is to know that the different age groups are drawn to the different clubs (birds of a feather....). The PianoKlubb tends to draw a crowd that prefers the "oldies". With a crowd made primarily of more mature patrons, this club is...
globetrott Says: Hurtigruten are NOT a real cruise and in most ports you will stay for just about 30-60 minutes in the port, but here in Bodoe the Hurtigruten-ships stay in port for a longer time, see the details below! The ship will open the gangway for passengers to go ashore and they will...
Driving through Norway in a car
globetrott Says: I had the idea to drive all the way from Vienna to Nordkapp and even to Kirkenes in my motorhome in August 2009 but then I unfortunately had a problem with the engine in Trondheim, so I had to give these travel-plans up.This is my conclusion after driving a motorhome ca....
Koch i Glasshuset: Shopping in Bodø
mingul Says: A proper mall with a lot of shops in it. Very useful, especially on rainy days, as it might be open more than other locations in Bodø:) Whatever you feel like. No special items here at all.
yooperprof Says: I hope I don't offend any of my Scandinavian friends if I say that I think this picture offers the essence of their society - or at least one of the essences of their society. A classic Volvo, parked outside a traditional cemetary, on a grayish summer day - it struck me as a...
KykeliKokos Says: PELLE - Norway's cutest and most famous police-car!All children in Norway knows Pelle Politibil, the talking police-car (sssh, it's a secret that he can speak..) from TV and children's books- and it's always popular to meet him in "person."When Pelle isn't visiting children...
globetrott Says: 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...
KykeliKokos Says: The old fortress of Nyholmen with its lighthouse is a great recreation area. The small peninsula with the fortress is situated right outside the centre of Bodø, but you will need a car or a bicycle to get out there.
yooperprof Says: There is a an interesting and well-designed non-denominational chapel in the Bodin Churchyard - the clean lines and simple materials employed by the architect accentuate the natural beauty of the setting. It's an outstanding example of sensitive and well-executed modern...
Sesded Says: The people of Bod are very friendly. I was fortunate enough to have made friends that I have been able to see upon return trips and enjoy the pleasure of their company. While there, be sure to enjoy a pint of Nordland Pils, what was a locally brewed pilsner (now brewed in...
yooperprof Says: Bodø has a very admirable program of sponsoring contemporary sculpture in public locations scattered around the town. These sea eagles embody the resilient spirit of the region; they can be found close to the center of Bodø, just off Sjøgata.

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...

Since Narvik was about 200 miles away from the nearest train station, I had to journey south to Bodø to take the train to Oslo. So, Liz and I boarded a Norway Bussekspress bus and we journeyed for...
