Lofoten Islands and Hobbits

What can we say about the Lofoten... Other then when you go to the northern part of Norway, you absolutely should spend a couple of days there. If you have the time, you can go fishing, hiking, sailing or just drive up and down the Islands and enjoy the view. And what a view you will have! Steep, dark mountains that rise from the sea, green rolling hills, white sandy beaches and here and there colourful fishermen villages. And as it was a wonderful day, I didn't whistle songs while driving the bike, no I was even singing :)

A tip for the traveller, when you go from the Lofoten north using the E10, be aware, that camp grounds get more and more rare. After we decided to not yet take one, we had to drive about 100 km until the next one came.

Since a couple of days, the scenery reminds me pretty much of certain landscapes from the Lord of the Ring movies. And guess what we found on the camp ground we took today? Yes, a hobbit house!! So, they have to be somewhere around here. Maybe we can surprise them later, when its dark.

No wait... We're in the land of midnight sun now, so that won't work.
