Day 7
We checked out from Eliassen Rorbuer at 11am.
We cooked our breakfast in this fully equipped kitchen. You can choose to bring your linens to save some money. I didn't do that and it's not possible for me to bring linens (100 nok per person) all the way from Singapore.
You can also choose to do the cleaning and save 300 nok. The "cleaning" that we are talking about here is not that simple, you have to vacuum the floor, you have to use detergent to wash the toilet and empty the bin. They will charge you if you don't (if you didn't opt for the cleaning thing) or if they find the cabin is not clean enough.

It's such a scenic place. Beautiful location and excellent place to stay. There are about 34 cabins here.
Our second day in Lofoten, we drove from Hamn�y to Kabelv�g and that's a 2 hours drive. Along the way, we visited Henningsv�r, Stamsund and Nusfjord these fishing villages.
If I'm not wrong, this should be the drying rack to air dry cod fish, but October doesn't seem to be the fish drying season in Lofoten.
We met this guy in a fishing village (I forgot where but it was somewhere between Nusfjord and Hamn�y. He caught a cod fish but he didn't want it, so he offered us but we rejected his kind offer. He then put back the cod into the sea. There goes our cod fish dinner, I think we are stupid to reject him.
Nusfjord, it's one of the oldest and well preserved fishing village. It was the most important fishing village in Lofoten in the past.
We had lunch at Johnsen's Fiskerestaurant in Leknes. Their fish dish was really good.
Cod tongue. Taste nice but a bit disgusting if eating too much, I felt like to vomit. Maybe because I was pregnant.
Henningsv�r, very beautiful fishing village.
Nyv�gar Rorbuhotell, open water and mountain in front of our cabin. Living room window is facing north, we could actually spot northern lights directly from living room.
We arrived after reception opening hours, they left our cabin key in the letter box outside the lobby. Reception staff came back at 9pm to settle payment. There were only 3 cabins occupied out of 30 cabins that night, sound creepy. 1 of them was actually occupied by their guard, so at least there was someone there if anything happened.
Choose the cabin facing open water, cabin number 1 to 18.
This 2-bedrooms, double storey cabin (cabin number 16) is well designed, decorated and clean. 2 bedrooms are located upstairs, each with 2 single beds which can be put together. Kinda inconvenient to come down the stairs to bathroom in the middle of the night (especially cold night) but this didn't really bother me.
We were lucky to see another fantastic aurora show. It was magical!
Aurora show lasted a few hours.
Here is our Norway trip video.
