School Days - Nice Boat

Instead of the final episode of the School Days anime, TV Kanagawa showed footage of European nature set to classical music. This lead to the creation of a meme when somebody posted a comment saying Nice Boat. The boat that was shown is MF Skagastøl which is running between Flåm and Gudvangen in Nærøyfjorden here in Norway, so I went and had a look.

You can see this small village called Tufto to the left in shot from the footage.

MF Skagastøl leaving Flåm. The boat has been repainted a bit, but it has the same name sign at the top.

The company Fylkesbaatane has merged with several other companies over the years and has been known as Fjord1 since 2012.
