Bronnoysund

We got off at Bronnoysund to walk around the town which was actually quite small. We soon encountered a grocery store in a mall. I like exploring foreign groceries stores as the inventory is a peek at the life in that town. The mall was also interesting to walk through - another taste of everyday life in Norway.

Back on deck, we were treated to a dramatic sunset as Rune described another point of interest - Torghatten. Torghatten is known for its distinctive hole or natural tunnel in its center. Folklore states that the hole was caused by the Horseman’s arrow (Hestmannen is the Norwegian name for the mountain). But geologists believe ice erosion carved out the impressive hole during the Ice Age. It is 160 meters long, 35 meters high and 20 meters wide.
