Being in Bodø gave us an opportunity to easily reach Lofoten – it’s only 3 hours by ferry. What is more, the ferry took us to the very tip of the archipelago. The wind was strong and the sea was quite rough – the ferry rocked quite a lot despite its size. We arrived at night and slept in Reine, cute town located on small islands dispersed close to the main island (Moskenesoya). Only the next morning we finally saw where we are.
The main occupation of people living in Lofoten is fishin, so everything in the islands is adjusted to this. There are wooden racks for drying fish everywhere, and the traditional fishermen houses on stilt – or rorbuer – fill the coasts.
On top of the early sunset, we were not so lucky with the weather - it rained for most of the time when we were on the islands, and sometimes we had to seek shelter for the car from the wind. However, Antoine managed to take advantage of the wind and caught some waves!
