We left Opera Farm bright and early this morning in order to catch a scheduled ferry departure to Froya Island. I was struck by the charm of the picturesque village of Kalvaag (see below).
After checking into the Knultholmen Resort, a pleasant three-to-four star property, we enjoyed a seafood lunch (cod and salmon) in their restaurant. Although the guest rooms are simple, they are quite clean and comfortable. Heading out out to sea after lunch, we stopped at a tiny island that is home to an elderly couple who live there all by themselves - a fascinating opportunity to meet a couple with a unique story and lifestyle.
On the way back to Kalvaag, we went deep sea fishing, catching quite a few cod and bringing up lobsters and crabs in previously placed lobster nets. Our meal last evening was a seafood feast — lobster, crab legs, sea scallops, langostinos, and crayfish. Located in the middle of nowhere, this restaurant is a real winner!
Tomorrow our trip takes us to the Art Nouveau town of Aalesund.
