Day 31 | Moskenes - Nusfjord | 48 km | 422 HM

 

We wanted to rent a cabin somewhere and do some laundry and maybe go kayaking. First we set off. First visit to the village of Reine.

 

We let ourselves drift along until Ramberg. In Ramberg there was a café. There were wooden steps to sit on outside. While we ate bread with cheese and sausage, we were asked several times about the velomobiles.

 

Among others, by a group of pensioners from Meißen and Leipzig with camper vans. They were very interested in the technical details. A little later, a French family came. While the Norwegians and their children hardly ever touch the velomobiles, this is not necessarily the case with children from other countries. Like the French boy who kept brushing against the VMs. Next, a Norwegian asked us out. He knew recumbents and wanted to know exactly how much faster you are with VMs. Last came two touring cyclists, husband and wife, from Germany. They met by chance and rode together for a few days. They both wanted to try it out and were very impressed with the advantages.

 

Slowly we had enough and wanted to move on. One of the Norwegians had recommended Nusfjord. There were cabins and a shop. It is situated off a dead end road. That sounded good. 16 km away and over a mountain ridge.

 

Once there, we saw the idyllic fishing village. Biggi enquired about one of the fishermen's huts - Rorbu. Ro = row, Bu = live.

 

A Norwegian family from Oslo, in the real estate business, had bought the whole village and renovated it. Now they rent out the individual houses.

 

The grocery shop, however, turned out to be only very rudimentarily stocked with the very essentials like Fanta. Cola, Lofoten beers.... So we would eat leftovers in the evening. The hut even offered veranda parking for our companions. We quickly did a machine wash and then rented two kayaks from the kayak rental shop.

 

Thanks to our European paddling permits, we were allowed to go alone and paddled for a good hour in the fjord. That was a very nice change.
