Not a good day for me today; I had a banging headache all day and just couldn’t get warm at all. At one point I was in bed under three quilts! So, it was over to Lyn to have the adventures today. I offered him a one off chance to edit the blog today, but he declined, so you’ll just have to look at his fab photos instead!

He started the day with an 8 mile run; something he had been longing to do as he had earmarked Reine as a great place for some run tourism. He was not wrong!

After he had recovered from that, he went on a little hike up the mountain, to see the famous view from the top. 1700 steps up, and 1700 back down. Really exposed and narrow with loads of tourist pushing past and hitting you in the face with their walking poles. The view from the top was great, but he didn’t stay long as it was so crowded.

We then drove on to the end of the island, and the village of A. yes, A. We then drove on to the village of Moskenes, where we were to get the ferry back to the mainland in the morning. We watched the last ferry leave at midnight, and then got into our spot in the queuing lanes. We were here for the night!
