Day 202



After a wonderful 140 kilometer trip today, we arrived at Straumen camping right after lunch. Straumen has the worlds largest maelstroms, as the water is forced through a 300 meter wide and 1.5 kilometer long passage with the tide. The currents are very strong and often creates maelstroms. Unfortunately we weren't able to see any big maelstroms, but it was very fascinating none the less.
