Constitution day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We were thinking about leaving a day before but we didn't have time to pack and get ready so we left on the constitution day. Arriving in Reine we saw the festivities and then went to the ferry harbour. We arrived at Værøy in the early afternoon. Weather was a bit gloomy and the wind increased. We found ourselves ok tent spots at Nordlandshagen. My tent was almost lying flat so I was a bit worried but I had huge stones as anchors and also put some inside. Then we went hiking up Nordlandsnupen and looked at an a very nice old house, which might be the oldest on this island. Then we made food inside Andrejs tent since it was bigger than mine and the wind was crazy outside. There used to be an airport here but due to a tragic accident where all passengers died, it was closed in 1990. Then it was sold as a private property and a man moved in there with his kids using this as a regular house. Then he met a woman from Senja and fell in love. She also moved in and started a Chocolate factory which was very successful until the whole building burned down in 2015. Now there is nothing left but the landing stripe...
