(Leknes)"},"content":{"rendered":"<div class=\"itemHeader\">\n<p>Today, we arrived in Leknes, what appears to be a beautiful place in the Lofoten Islands. I say &#8216;appears to be&#8217; because, despite the time coming up to 11am, no-one has left the ship yet. An announcement was made quite early on telling us that, due to strong winds, we would not be able to tie-up alongside the quayside; instead, they would be operating a tender service. Unfortunately, we&#8217;ve managed to get stuck on a mud bank, and no amount of pulling by a local tug, or winching (a long rope attached to a buoy) has been able to shift us. An announcement by the captain a short time ago confirmed all of this, and explained that we would not be able to move until later this afternoon, when there&#8217;s a high tide; local tugs would then try again. Right at this moment, they&#8217;re just gearing up to try and get everyone off the ship for their tours. Ours is supposed to be leaving at 1pm, and we&#8217;re meant to be shoreside roughly half an hour before that&#8230;it&#8217;s now 11:15&#8230; watch this space. There are some beautiful-looking mountains, though; not as huge as what we&#8217;ve seen in the last couple of days, but beautiful nonetheless, with snowy peaks and bathed in the warm sunrise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, we arrived in Leknes, what appears to be a beautiful place in the Lofoten Islands.
