Harstad: A taste of Vesterålen
Description
The tour starts in Harstad and begins with a quick tour round the town, which was only founded at the end of the 19th century, before heading out to the Trondenes church from the 11th centry and the Sor-Troms Museum. After the visit to the church and museum the coach heads inland across the island making a coule of brief photo stops along the way until we reach the Gullesfjord where it is crossed on a ferry. During the crossing cake and coffee is served. After the crossing the coach continues to drive across the island, making contact with the captain of the Hurtigruten to ensure that as we cross the final bridge into Sortland we are there for the Hurtigruten to pass underneath. A couple of minutes later you are on the pier at Sortland and re-boarding the Hurtigruten
