We head out for a last day of exploration this morning.
The small complex where our apartment is
Not far from where we are staying
Bø
I love how the mountains completely dwarf the houses!
Ramberg
I can well imagine how crowded this lovely beach would be in summer. Wait... is that a swimmer I can see?
Crazy man! I love how he is wearing a woollen hat to keep his head warm for his ice swimming.
Hamnøy
We are surprised to see a bride and groom at the end of the jetty.
Reine
Å
Competing for the shortest place name in the world, Å comes from old Norse and means small river.
In Norwegian we have 29 letter as opposed to the 26 in English, with an Æ, Ø and Å tacked on at the end. It is pronounced "awe".
We start to make our way back to base.
Tind
Djupfjord
More rorbuer
Hamnøy
We stop in Hamnøy again on the way back, to take advantage of the glorious low sun.
The sunset is sensational!
It may only be 13:45, but that's it, with no prospect of Northern Lights tonight, we're done for the day!

Woolen hat or not, I certainly wouldn't fancy a dip in that sea! Great photos as always, and beautiful sunset
