Between summer snow
Road to Bodo is not simple. The first is a train journey from Antwerp, Belgium to Brussels North, within 2 hours, then the flight from Brussels to Oslo, capital of Norway. Then catch the train from Oslo to Tronheim, a small town along the Baltic Sea, the ship changed and headed to Bodo. Bodo is also the terminus of the railway line running along the country Norway.
The best thing to do when you travel to Chicago
Here, if you want to go further north, only a car or boat. Bodo is not the end point of Norway, but has passed the North Pole of the Earth, where you can enjoy the sun shine all day in the summer. As the winter, this region are covered darkness for 24 hours
We are lucky to arrive in Oslo, bright sunny sky just in time for the best of the year. In the mountains along the street, white snow still covered. A woman on the train told us, "The snow covered mountains all year, between the summer sun can not melt all the snow".
The railway runs along the country longer than 3000 km Norway, 775 pass through the mountain tunnel, and more than 3,000 bridges crossing. The train taking us through the plains, mountains, squeezed through the steep slopes pass through pristine forests endless sentences Norway. We have seen a drop of water falls on the mountain from white to green, but the rushing sea, a small stream flowing through a field gentle flower, blooming brilliant midsummer.
Through the Arctic Circle
The far side is a white snowy mountain top, those sweltering sun patches of snow just makes no glowing tan, and even the steep mountain sides for the last train, or tunnel through the mountains.
It takes 3 minutes to new ships are coming out to the light, feeling exactly sitting on the ship Hogward Express to school witch in Harry Potter so. Indeed, the image of the train episode and Prince Harry Potter was filmed on the ramp ray Raumabanen (from Oslo to Andalsnes Gulf). Half way, he shouted to you Arnout "This is the boy, look, behold the Arctic Circle (Artic circle). They all dive music looking out the train windows, and shouted to enjoy themselves as trains pass just launched a virtual belt, belt lies on latitude 66 north equator.
The whole area is located above the circle is called the Arctic, and all points above the belt are no night in the summer and there is no sunlight in winter. On this virtual border, people build small blockhouse as a pyramid with a height of about 1 m above the globe to mark the border.
Bodo is the final destination of the railway. Station here as a tiny wooden house on the cliff of a mountain cliff family, two trains a day depart from here on, so visitors to be carefully considered in order to train the time. Last Train Bodo guide to carrying only about two dozen guests, and dozens of locals go far.
Go watch the sun near the city at night
To watch the entire city from above, we decided to climb the highest mountain of Bodo, look gray zigzag path crept in every bush leads up the mountain, we could not overwhelmed. This is the most wonderful memories of the journey, because the top of the mountain, we are closest to the sun, watching the city under the sunshine in ... midnight.
It took us 2 hours to reach the summit. It was at 2 pm, the sky is still bright, and we broth together: "You look at this incredible was 2 hours. The light has not changed since we arrived here. You guess which direction the sun will grow a little while? I see the light over there. "
The city beneath the mountains are silent, there is no light, no vehicle is running. Surely the whole city is ... sleeping. We themselves are fools, because climb peaks at 2 am and singing.
Someone climbed this mountain before we were put into a pile of rocks towering high on both feet. Arnout, Belgian boy, explained: "As usual, when people climb a high mountain, conquering nature, people often put the rock climb forever to assert the power of the human overcome natural ". Of course, I also do not forget to pick up a stone, stacked on top of a small mountain artificial mark his footsteps conquered add a high mountain.
Prior to Bodo, I always have the feeling this is a city located in remote areas, remote and uncivilized (anyway near the North Pole, and the final point of the cruise lines), however, real Bodo indeed very modern.
Roads, buildings under construction are regulated, there is an airport in the heart of the city, where previously, in the First World War, the German army had occupied as a basis, this is a military airport air Force team from the Royal Norwegian management. There are also several large shopping malls, with many well-known fashion brands in the world.
Peaceful life of Bodo
Both days later, we visit the famous sites of Bodo, such as churches, dock, clock tower ancient Viking maritime museum. The road leading from the foot of the mountain to the sea filled with white daisies and dandelions. If a film crew to shoot the film romance, then this is definitely the place to propose scenes of young lovers, because the path we are walking looks like the entrance to this paradise.
