Splish. Splash.

It's raining. We have come into a low-pressure area that is wearing on our nerves. The weather was already bad in Selnes, we arrived in Bjørnvika in the rain and left in the rain (but at least the sun appeared for a few minutes in between) and our stopover in Torghatten was also accompanied by constant rain showers.

Torghatten was still a real experience. It is a mountain with a hole. Sounds strange, but it is true. The hole is a whopping 35 meters high, 160 meters long, and you can walk completely through it. You could actually call it climbing or hopping because it is basically a huge field of rocks. The ascent was not easy, but you are rewarded with an incredible view. The descent was really steep and slippery.

We were too lazy to take the carrier out of the aluminum box and I had Henry strapped to my chest in the carrier, which didn't make climbing any easier. But when we were down, I was a bit proud and the umbrella, which I used as a support next to Ole, was a bit bent.

Since it has been raining the whole time, we drove directly to the ferry to Horn. From there we crossed to Anndalsvåg, drove a short distance to Forvik, had a fantastic coffee in a coffee roastery, and then crossed from Forvik to Tjotta.

There we spontaneously chose a campsite and Henry explored all the puddles on the campsite upon arrival and was as happy as a mud king.

After a rainy night, we set off again. Further north. The landscape along the route is really impressive even in bad weather. Mountains and water as far as the eye can see. Endless tunnels, towering bridges, rocks covered in moss. Juicy green, mystically foggy. Just wow.

Due to the lousy weather conditions, we are now much faster on the road than expected. The rain doesn't bother Henry, but everything is completely soaked after 2 hours outside, and we can't get the clothes properly dry again. The whole bus is full of Henry's wet things. But you can't lock up the child here either. That's why everything is first made wet and then we drive a bit and hope that as much as possible dries during the drive.

Due to the outlook of 10 degrees and rain, we have discussed turning back several times, but we have decided to continue. Keep your fingers crossed that it will be sunnier in the Lofoten Islands.

At least it is not supposed to rain tomorrow. Yay. That's why we are staying here at PolarCamp for 2 nights. Tomorrow we will enjoy every ray of sunshine that breaks through the cloud cover. Everything will be put on the laundry line and then on Wednesday, we can continue with the next ferry over the Arctic Circle.
