Four hours in a Norwegian fjord, only caught one..

[aleksander]

My second trip report, same result as yesterday...
But what a nice day on the water!!
Drove directly from work to a place called Vaksdal, just outside Bergen, the second largest (and prettiest ) city in Norway.
This is a place that has been reported to have many escaped Rainbow trouts, and I set out to try to catch a few of them...
But as the pictures tells, I did not get lucky this time...
But next time!!!

This island is actually part of one of the largest prisons in Norway. There are about 30 inmates/prisoners there. Both male and female. It is a low security prison.

Landed my kayak at the "alcatraz" for a quick snack and a chat with one of the guys working there. He used to be my mentor when I worked there in 2007.

The boat that you barely can see, is the boat that they uses to and from the island. The other twos are "just in case" boats

Here you can see two of the houses that the inmates lives in. They have four-six bedrooms, a big livingroom, kitchen and a bathroom. CableTV, flatscreen, and the things you need to be rehabilitated and live a life without crime.

If someone wonder, I did not "do time" on the Island, it was part of my education. Worked there from august till december 07.
