Unfortunately, the weather was not much better yesterday, but we still went on our day trip around the islands. First, we drove for 2.5 hours to Reine. On the way there, we even saw a moose, but unfortunately only for a few seconds while driving by. When we arrived in Reine, it was raining heavily and we got completely soaked. Then we continued to Ramberg, which has a beautiful beach, and we had it all to ourselves with this weather. Suddenly, the rain stopped and we were able to enjoy the beach (even though it was around 8 degrees Celsius hahaa). Nadine, Thom, and I took a quick swim in the Arctic Sea, but it was freezing cold, as you can imagine. Then we continued to Yttersand, where we went on a short hike and were rewarded with a stunning view. The last stop was Henningsvaer, famous for having the most beautiful football field in the world. We were a bit disappointed because the pictures you usually see, mostly taken with a drone, don't quite match reality, but it was still beautiful. By the way, you can see fish drying almost everywhere on Lofoten, that's cod and it's considered the gold of Lofoten. The different parts of the fish are exported all over the world and are considered a delicacy. In the evening, Nadine, Julie, and I went to the lighthouse near our cabin.
