Norway

So a few weekends ago, Jules and I traveled to Norway with some french guys. Stephan, a really nice French guy, who shares the office with Jules, invited us along to travel the "Lofoten" in Norway. The Lofoten are made up of small islands in the North of Norway. The Lofoten are famous for beautiful sceneries with all the fjords and mountains. The Lofoten are 240km long and there is only around 60km from one coast to the next. Approximately 56,000 people are living on the islands working as fishermen or in the tourist branch. It is very peaceful and reminded us a lot of Oregon. This is a map of the Lofoten:
We took a ferry from Melbu to Fiskebel in the hope to see some killer whales who swim to the Lofoten each year in the fall. Unfortunately we were not lucky.

Before entering Norway we crossed the Arctic Circle. It was really cold up there and not much later we saw a big herd of reindeers who were standing next to and on the road.
We also did some hiking, stayed in a original red little cabin, played lots of cards, and tried to learn French. :) All in all the trip was a lot of fun, see for yourself.On our way back we stopped in Narvik, had an amazing burger and found this really cool road sign!
