readjusting the plan

Cheeeeerrrrching.....sunshine and a  little bit of cloud bubbled overhead on the peak  that towered above us and Hennigsvay and up we shall go.....

 

Within 5 mins we were essentially bouldering our way up and so the plan to reach the second cloud hidden peak was sidelined and eventually  we found a more solid path and made our way up.

We missed a trick with forgetting our swimsuits and towels,for a swim in the lake ....darn it she says with a thermaL, jumper, hat and buff on and chuckling at the mum trying to get her children to go in.

Cue photo dump....had to retrim my cap a couple of times to not lose it in the blasting updraft at the edges but otherwise you cant take a bad photo here. 

Next up in what as with all good holidays in our overly ambitious plan was to go in out at the very end of Lofoten and then smash out another hike before finding a beach to stay at.

However, a much slower journey due to jaw dropping scenery, wiggly photos required and a large number of cyclist's from full road bike no luggage to slow moving bags of luggage with a helmet and wheels which aided us in our most amusing traffic jam, when the singleway traffic lights changed and we were still dribbling our way to the top of the bridge behind a cyclist and we reached the brow where we were met with 5 cars........hmmmmmm

Welcome to A said ooo a little fishing village at some point but now a tourist spot and holiday cottages and a millionaires row. Most places along the S of Lofoten are were fiahing villages particularly for the dried cod which they hang out in march in the fresh on the wooden rack for a couple pf months....probably smells delightful. TO BE TRIED  hoping more positively than Elk!

After the use of the toilets and the feel of hot water we returnwd to the van wondered will weever get the hot water working in the van.....what does the flame mean it doesnt mean hot! And quickly concluded our plan was overly ambitious but some postcard writing and cookie purchasing were required as we had marginally lost the ability to make a decision.

The weird thing here in the supermarkets is you can't take rucksacks in and when you leave there is a 'a tiny little prison' as lindsey calls it where you have to scan your receipt to leave and the gates don't stay open for long for the 3 of us to scuttle out.

Finally we found a beach location and after translating the signs and a few bods moving on we repositioned in an actual space albeit at a jaunty angle and smashed out a classic pasta red sauce and a beer. 

Evening entertainment when a car turned up with their roof box open and the keys in the lock with the drivers oblivious, i couldnt help but chuckle. Then finished with a stroll along the beach.
