Lofoten II

A dreamy and chilly rainy morning greeted me upon waking. Looks like no hiking today, but I wasn't really worried as the day was just so long. I lazed about for a long time until I picked myself up and finally got myself out of the house. I went to the nearby restaurant and tried the fresh trout they had, super expensive but was also probably the best meal I've had in Norway so far. I explored the village of A, going to all the museums and historical sites before heading back to the hostel.

I decided to pop another one of the gummies I had gotten from Prague before beginning a long walk towards Lake Sorvagen. A very peaceful, introspective, and reflective walk. I did the whole route and saw a lot of the pretty rorbuer and fishing traditions.

Perhaps not the brightest idea but I felt that Lake Agvatnet was also calling me so on the way back, I decided to do the whole loop as well, except this time it was a very long and strenous hike, almost 2-3 hours worth and frankly, on the gummy, it was a bit difficult but in the end I made it back to the hostel in one piece, except my shoes were hella dirty from the muddy marshes. I quickly ate my instant noodles before crashing out. It seems like Hugh and I were doing the famed Reinebringen the next day, or in this case the infamous one as plenty of hikers seemed to give up and turn back because the ice and snow had still not fully melted near the summit. My biggest fear, I know if I went, I can't turn back.Read more
