KRAJE

Stockfish. Usually it's cod, dried by cold air and wind

Flora of the North. We found a lot of wild mushrooms and blueberries

The biggest camper we have seen. They come from all over Europe, but mainly Germany

Letter boxes

Instead of taking the main road, we chose road 815 on Vestvågøya

Somewhere along the 815. It follows the coast and the views are fantastic

Going back to stockfish, cod is dried between January and May

During that time 16 million kilograms of stockfish is produced in Lofoten

Stockfish from Lofoten is regarded as the best and is exported to countries like Italy, Croatia, Portugal and Nigeria

I got it from Russians who came back from a fishing trip and had boxes full of them

Fire grilled and super fresh fish. The best ever

Next day weather was better and we stopped in Malnes

There are many little-known places like this in Lofoten

It's best to come by car and take time to explore, not just to drive along the E10

Because of the Gulf Stream, winter temperatures are very mild considering their location north of the Arctic Circle

Looking towards Henningsvær, the main centre for rock climbing

Gimsøystraumen Bridge. A week earlier it was a sunny 19C, now only 9C with wind and rain

But just a few kilometers away we were sitting in the sun again

On the way to Henningsvær we stopped many times for photos

More serious photographers come there, too

Henningsvær

Henningsvær is located on several small islands

Svolvær, the favorite starting point for tourists visiting the Lofoten islands

On our last day we "discovered" another little known place

This small beach was just a kilometer or 2 from the main road

After getting closer we didn't find any sand. It was made of sea shells and corals, I think

Similar place on the Isle of Skye in Scotland is called "coral beach"

Just as we were about to leave, Hurtigruten appeared

It is described as the "World's Most Beautiful Sea Voyage"

Leaving Lofoten and starting a very long journey back to Poland through Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
