Bunes beach - total bliss


It's difficult to describe how perfect this day was. But hopefully the photos can help illustrate this gorgeous day. We started off early, taking a ferryboat out to Vindstad. Here we began yet another hiking trip up to a mountain top called Brunakseltind. Again this climb was also pretty steep and it took aproximately one and a half hour to reach the top. But all the way you have an amazing view! You can look down on the valley below with the tiny little wooden houses, the winding road and the towering mountaintops. As you get higher you get to admire the view  on both sides of the mountain which is breathtaking. I have to say that this hiking trip is even more beautiful than yesterday's! And I really recommend people to go here, it will leave you speechless !



Once at the top you can enjoy a well deserved lunch and rest. Here you also get a third gorgeous view to admire, of the famous Bunes beach.



And having safely reached the foot of the mountain, we finally got to enjoy this beautiful Bunes beach. It's a huge beach, you have to walk at least two kilometers before you reach the water. I always get super excited when I'm on a sandy beach and see the waves rolling in, so in a matter of seconds I had stripped off my clothes and ran out in the icecold water! Nothing feels more refreshing than swimming naked in those clear waters! True definition of freedom! 




On top of the world - Reinebringen

Since me and my boyfriend love to go hiking and especially reaching the summit of mountains, we decided to start off our week in Lofoten by climbing Reinebringen. It's one of the most popular hiking trips in the area, but fairly tough as well. The climb only takes about an hour, but it's extremely steep all the 500 meters up. But then again you are rewarded with a spectacular view :






We ended this wonderful day with a little sightseeing in Å. 
And had some delucious local dishes at Hamnøy Mat og Vinbu.


Summer in Lofoten - day 1 in Reine

I'm having the time of my life in beautiful Lofoten, north in Norway. I'm so glad we decided to stay in Norway this summer and since we arrived we've only had magnificent sunny days! So lucky! And the sun never goes down, this midnight sun fascinates me, it's always light here! 

Our first stay-over was in Reine. This place is just breathtaking. If you visit Lofoten, you must stay here at least a couple of days! We lived in charming little cabins (rorbuer) right by the sea with an amazing view: 


This place has it all! It has unique photo opportunities, the light is just amazing! We had dinner at a lovely little restaurant called Gammel Bua. Delicious food and wine and really high quality standard!

The Beach - iPhone Diaries


More memories from beautiful Croatia - Our beautiful little Sunj beach, located on the other side of the island of Lopud. To get here, we had to walk through a small forest, the vegetation there reminded me of an exotic jungle, making it all very exciting to get to our favourite sandy beach in the mornings. 
      
    

    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    


 Looking back at these photos, makes me miss this heavenly place sooo much! It's without a doubt one of the most beautiful places I've been to and a place with so much charm and soul. Can't wait to go back there sometime.
