Reine to Ballstad

4/3/2025

That raging storm last night left us the gift of snow & bright sunshine this morning. Although the snow very quickly turned into slush that was quite deep in places & soaked through shoes/boots. 
All the cabins at Reine have a notice on the door to remove crampons before entering. And if the floor is wrecked through not doing so, there will be a minimum fine of NOK70,000.  That's NZD11,300 odd! 
I have been really impressed with Norway's roads, especially the tunnels and bridges. The bridges often have an LED displaying the wind speed per second. The tunnels are sometimes a quite complex, long,with passing bays, under the sea, or not. And even some are kind of a half tunnel - I don't know what that is called but they look great.
We drove down to Flakstad beach and had some fun shooting reflections. Then it was onto Unstad beach for an afternoon shoot that didn't really do it for me.
We are now accommodated at Hattvika Lodge for the next 3 nights. This complex is on the site of an old fishing factory and is a strange but attractive mix of new modernistic hotel capsules along with authentically refurbished fisherman's cottages from 1850. While these cottages look modern from the outside, complete with precision airlock type doors & windows, the walls & floors are the original 150 year old woodwork.  My bedroom door can open right out onto the jetty.
