Northern lights & sunshine
Northern lights and sunshine were the absolute highlights of the “short notice” -trip to the Lofoten Islands last week.
When I told my friends I was going to the Lofoten Islands, almost all of them told me to pack all rain proof clothing that I got. I did as I was told and took all the warm hiking and outdoors gear that I got. As we drove off from Rovaniemi towards Unstad, Norway, the sun was shining bright from a clear blue sky and did not dissappear until we reached the Swedish boarder on the way back to Finland. Driving in the middle of the night, we were constantly distracted by the flaming northern lights.
During the week we had the chance to get couple of days surfing in Unstad, hiking up to a “cabin” in Svolvaer, sleeping under the stars, skinny dipping and enjoying the views of the Lofoten coastline.
The photos below show some of the highlights of the trip.
