Also there's an amazing hidden spot to camp overnight: continue walking down the road, after the road curve, until you arrive near the first yellow house of the road. From there go left over the hill, there's a path made by people. Over the hill there's a hidden lake with drinkable water and a lot of space for putting your tent. Be aware that, although camping is forbidden there, none will ask you to leave. Please be respectful and leave in the morning.
== Blackriding buses ==
The [https://www.reisnordland.no/rutetabeller-buss-lofoten public buses in the Lofoten] are fairly easy to blackride. If the drivers ask you to pay when you get in, don't get in (or pay--the longest the ride, the highest the price). If he doesn't, enjoy the free ride. In any way, hitchhiking is pretty easy and you shouldn't need to take the bus.

In '''Reine''', one of the most famous destinations of the archipelago, if you want to go in the directions of Leknes/Svolvaer you can hitch right before entering the village. Where the road split just follow the walk path on the right and you arrive in a view point with enough space for people to stop.
Given the fact that in Lofoten island there's just one main road, is possibile to hitchhike almost everywhere, just sticking your thumb up from where you are. People are very friendly and hitchhiking is usually pretty easy and fast.
As of July 2021, you can take the ferry that goes from Bodø to Moskenes (and the one doing stops in Røst and Væroy) for free as a foot passenger. You need to register to the guy at the entrance of the ferry and then you can get in. Be careful to show up a bit before the departures (20-30 mintues) as they have a limited capacity. The ferries are operated by [https://www.torghatten-nord.no/ Torghatten Nord]. If you arrive late in Moskenes, the ferry waiting room is a beautiful spot to sleep at and no one will annoy you if you leave early.
