Lofotens main page
On top of the Monk, waiting for the
clouds to clear
Now there is hope.
View south
Above the clouds
View north
More views from the Monk
Cute chickens enjoying the scenery.
They know where to rest
Over time, the views become better and
better.
That's a little village in the back of
the fjord.
Another village on the fjord
The same village
The views opened up to the south as well
Here is a pano from west to north
And one from south to north (180 degrees)
Another view to the north.
South views (you can see Vaeroy island in
the far back).
Descending off the peak after ~8 hours
spent on top.
Back in the town of A (see, I was not
kidding).
From here, we started driving back north (there is no
other way)
Another fishing boat
We decided to backpack to an isolated
beach called Kvalvika and camp there.
We are on the Atlantic ocean.
Nice cliffs
Here is a 270-degree panorama from the
beach. Pretty cool.
Our camp for the night.
Back in the early 1900s, there was a
settlement here, and these are the remnants.
Another cool village
Cool town called Hamnoy
More Hamnoy
Some fishing cabins for rent in Hamnoy
Fish-drying racks in Hamnoy
More Hamnoy (can you tell I loved this
town?)
OK, I promise this is the last one of
Hamnoy (I think we are gonna hang this one on the wall).
Back in Reine
Fish heads drying
Reine isn't much uglier than Hamnoy
More Reine
More Reine
More Reine
The gang in Reine
More Ramberg beach (looks like Hawaii)
Some cool dude we found.
Another cool dude kite surfing.
A little town of Nusfjord.
Nusfjord has an open museum, which was a
total tourist trap and not worth
almost $10 per person they charged. This is a rare
occasion where I felt like a sucker. Oh well.
The free views of Nusfjord were far
better than the open-air museum (seen below).
Well, all good things come to an end. We
are leaving Lofotens on a fast catamaran.
Another cool view of Lofotens from the
ferry.
Whassup.
After arriving in Bodo and walking
around, we took a plane to Oslo.
The views were great.
After arriving in Oslo, we spent the
evening at Bob's, who treated us with pizza and beer (of
course).
What an amazing trip. Thank you guys very very much!!!
