While the last post was certainly fun, Lofoten has more than birds going for it. So, despite my definite personal preferences, I’ll be moving away from birds this post to explore the rest of Lofoten. The birds around here certainly have the right idea, though …
I will say, while I’ve been excited for a lot of my trips, going to Norway was high on my list for many reasons. A lot of my favorite wildlife, like ptarmigans and stoats live here, and I’ve wanted to travel above the Arctic circle …
