Today I want to tell you about another great adventure in Lofoten. About Vaeroy flight. More precisely, about the two flight Vaeroy.
In Norwegian, this island is called Værøy. "Nd" means island and "vaer" - the weather: the name, apparently given by the raging sea storms and bad weather. In this we have seen for yourself: we let the island to itself is not immediately ...
Tickets are we booked in advance, even in Moscow - it's free. I wanted to fly over the islands, to Norway to see from the air. The ticket price was then 3500r, it is now more expensive.
It is with Vaeroya we wanted to start our trip planned to Lofoten. Included in the Lofoten Island of beauty, from the satellite looks like a drop falling from the tip of the main ridge.
46. So in the morning we sent Sasha a ferry with all of our bikes and bags - and the light went to the airport. Calmly have been registered, boarded a helicopter. Since we flew only one female, and the helicopter seats 12.
47. In the morning the weather was clear, and later became the knurl from the sea mist. So hung over us dense clouds, and I had already upset that we did not even see. Frankly, I flew a helicopter for the first time, so it was terribly interesting.
The helicopter was rolled out slowly in the middle of the strip, screws began to revolve in full force - and we left the ground. Interesting feeling seems to you like a dandelion fluff, takes to the clouds.
Near Bude was almost no low clouds.
48. Buda is located right near here this beautiful ridge of the islands. Apparently, this fishing village. Beautiful azure bays of the northern sea ...
49. And then everything was spoiled. But still it was very beautiful: low clouds, which are walking down the sunbeams.
50. The helicopter is flying very nice. Better than on a plane: gently, without shaking. Dennis fell asleep to the sound of the propeller.
51. Soon we were flying already a very dense fog. Only a drop landed on the glass window of streams and slid down. Pilots dived into a thick fog a few times, floated to the surface, a helicopter were on a ridge of clouds, something between a lively debate.
52.Potom again struck the island. We flew about 50 minutes already. The islands were a good omen: the schedule we had to fly 35 minutes.
53. Closer to the islands. Slightly reminiscent of the ones we've seen before ...
54. Then, to my great joy, lit the sun!
55. On the horizon city in the clouds and rocks around. Is this Vaeroy? Unlike the fishing village of ...
56. Even at the time drew attention to the gigantic rock-bug:
57. And we go on the land. It was then that I finally came up. The coastal line of buildings, control tower, and the port area. There can be no two identical Bude ... Arrived ...
Pilots politely apologized to us, it was evident that they are upset. Asked us to wait for the next attempt at the airport. We, too, were upset, especially since Sasha has gone from bicycles to Vaeroy, and no connection with it. All things are from him. The day shift - and we can not make it to all of our scheduled ferries. However, the film was flattened at the airport: a woman came to us from the service, also politely apologized and gave us a check for a dinner for the sum of about 1000r (our money). At first we did not realize for a long time asking where we want to cheat, and that so we can eat. But - that's bad luck for the Russian people - we really just overeat and lay down to sleep right in the cafe on the couches (people in the interior of a cafe almost was not). A little nap, we went again to walk in Buda. Hopes for a successful second flight was becoming less and less: storm intensified, the wind rose, many flights were canceled and people gathered at the airport at the box office.
But we (and pilots) do decide to take the risk.
The second flight was quite boring: just below the clouds and pieces of rocks from both the cotton candy. This rock is exactly the Lofoten!
58. But the mood was already much better, it was evident that now the Bude overcast, and the side of the Vaeroem - blue skies and sunshine. And then we saw quite an amazing sight: a helicopter flew to the front and drove a rainbow through the clouds. Rainbow in the form of a large flat circle. When we were flying above already - you've seen here is an interesting phenomenon:
59. And here it is - Vaeroy, the heart of the Lofoten:
At the airport we were met by Alex, glad we came. And he told us an amazing thing: the sun had just recently came out, illuminating the entire island. Indeed, just over the island was a window of blue sky, and around, away at sea, - the clouds and fog.
So we - well fed, flies away in a helicopter, were on the island Vaeroy just in time for sunny weather.
Our journey began on the Lofoten ...
