Tromsøya , Norway

The cable car takes you to Storsteinen (Big Rock) on mount Fløya, 421 meters above sea level. The trip takes four minutes. From here you can enjoy the view of Tromsø and the surrounding islands and fjords from an outdoor viewing deck. This is a view of the bridge I crossed, with the mainland (and Cathedral) in foreground to the right, and the island of Tromsøya in the mid-ground. In the far distance you can see a second bridge; this is the Sandnessund Bridge that leads to the island of Kvaløya. It’s going to be our route out of Tromsø in 2 days time when we start island hoping via car ferries to reach the Vesterålen and Lofoten Islands.
