Reine, Nusfjord, Vikbeach-Haucklandstranda, Henningsvaer

1. Stop Reine

We enjoyed a coffee and a chai latte in front of the Reine mountain. It was really nice and a super cozy café where we could also have breakfast. Everyone is so friendly and open, each person greeted us with a smile on their face. However, we already noticed that there were quite a few more tourists around. Until now, we have actually managed to avoid them🤭

2. Stop Nusfjord

Nusfjord is mentioned everywhere as a 'to do' and 'must see'. It is quite charming, but totally overcrowded. They charge an entrance fee to go deeper into the village, so we could only view it from above what we had done. Parking was a nightmare🤣 on the side of a very narrow street with a large camper🙊 well, it was okay for 15 minutes🤭

3. Stop Hauckland Beach

We thought we arrived at a very calm and beautiful place. We enjoyed it a lot! The dog did too. Then we realized we were at Vikbeach, and the actual destination was around the corner. So, we headed there to take a look – but not for long, oh my God! So many people. Apparently, the absolute place to be…🙄 yes, we are not like that. The romantic and calm atmosphere was just what we wanted.

We drove down a bumpy, gravelly side road towards Henningsvaer. These are probably the shortcuts in Norway🤯 yes, the cola or beer can and the Prosecco are now for a moment not to be opened🙊

4. Stop Henningsvaer

YOU GOT MY HEART🥹♥️ Lexi has just fallen in love, the sweet, little fishing village with its cozy village center has captivated her from the first second. She could have lingered here for hours, having something to drink and watching the people stroll by. At the last part of this village, up on a little island, there’s a soccer field🤔

5. Stop Ørsvågvaer

A huge campsite. Very nice check-in area at the reception. Very spacious and one can relax here. 

When we looked around, there were wooden structures everywhere. Earlier, they used to hang and dry the caught cod (hake) there without having to salt them for preservation. At first, it smells quite pathological around here, the locals say, after a while, it starts to smell like spring. Well… I don’t know🤔 let’s just leave it at that.
