Mefjordvær & Ersfjord Beach

Then it was on to Ersfjord Beach, but it was pretty nice and we thought we would camp there so we headed on to the last stop - Mefjordvær which was gorgeous! Just surrounded by jagged snow covered mountains! I loved it, but it was so cold! We went through a tunnel to get there and on one side it was 8C, over there it was only 1C! Plus it was still all frosty/frozen as the sun never made it to that side of the mountains! It is odd as sunset was 6:24 today, but by like 1 it feels like it is so much later! Like I am like ah! We need to do all the things and get to camp cause it is getting late!! Then I realize it is not that late. I think it is because the sun never gets that high in the sky and sunset is moving up by 5 min every day which is a lot. There is no slow adjustment.

After spying there we headed back to Ersfjord Beach and parked for the night before going to spy. It was really pretty and the sand was starting to get hard from the cold! Fun! We also found a pretty crab shell, but not many others. It is mostly just sand! No little rocks or shells. We can see out over the water from the car which is nice, but another cold night! Last night wasn’t too bad with the heater which is good. I was thinking about it and I think part of the problem is this car doesn’t seem to be as well insulated as the one we took to Iceland. Oh well, we only have another week before we are home!

I am really enjoying Senja, the general area where we are. It is gorgeous! We didn’t actually drive that far today, but it was constantly gorgeous views! And it feels different from everything else. It still feels like we are up in the mountains instead of at the bottom of the giant cliffs. It is fun. The one photo of all the brown mountains - one of those we are going to attempt to hike tomorrow! I was trying to figure out which one, but couldn’t so we shall see!Read more
