Our ferry arrived in Moskenes @ 6:30 am then we jumped on 6:40 am bus to Reine, the most exciting landscape of Lofoten, within walking distance to Reinebringen trail head. Lofoten is a group of islands in the northern part of Norway. With its postcard-looking small fishing villages nestled in fjords, dotting a very rugged coast with abrupt peaks rising directly from the ocean, the archipelago is often described as one of the most scenic parts of Norway. At 68N, the Lofoten archipelago is well above the arctic circle, and at the same latitude as Greenland or the northern parts of Alaska. However, it enjoys a relatively milder climate due to the circulation of the Gulf Stream, and temperatures up to 23C in the summer are not uncommon.
It was a very steep climb for roughly 1km leading to a small pass with a breathtaking view over the village and fjord of Reine. On top of the steepness, it was very hot hiking up over 1500 rock stairs, and I almost got heat stroke. However, Thr panoramic views of Reinefjorden and the Lofoten Wall really worth it. 
We then walked to nearby fish village to take photos and bought food to cook dinner. I really enjoyed my stay in Catogården Boutique Home (ran by a family), feeling like home with wonderful deco and priceless views. I used their popcorn machine for a make popcorns to share.
