Bodø has nearly 50 000 inhabitants and it’s the fastest growing city in the arctic. Interesting fact is, that none of the locals have been able to explain to me what is the reason behind this. Local hotels are packed throughout the year with pedestrian or bike trial tourists during summer and aurora watchers during winter months. We have met many Asian tourists who have traveled all the way from Peking, just to see the Aurora.
The people here are very considerate and helpful. Other interesting thing is that the building site is open throughout the weekend with all equipment and even laptops inside and nobody is even worried that it may get stolen. That is something I would like to experience one day in our country as well.
