Heading south.

The flyfishing guys were active all night, fishing, driving the boat, rowing the boat, grilling, making coffee, fishing, drinking beer etc. We took the bus from Alta at 06.35 and arrived in Honningsvåg 4 hours later. We went to look at the church which is the only remaining building after they burned everything in the second worldwar. We met a couple from the Netherlands who came by bike with two dogs (!) also heading for North cape. They had been on the road for 3 months. Then we got on the bus to North Cape and suddenly we were there! Today's best surprise, entrance was free for bikers! We asked someone to take a picture, then we had coffee and charged our cellphones. We were thinking about camping out here but it's just crowded with people, new buses with tourists came in a constant flow. And the will keep coming until 1 am when they close because they also want to see the midnight sun. Also we didn't find any good spots around so we started our journey today instead and drove past Honningsvåg maybe 45 km. We also found an old abandoned school which now was an old thrashed film location (Lengsel etter nåtid) in Sarnes so we just had to go inside and have a look. Then we passed our first tunnel and stopped to camp just before the nightmare tunnel which awaits tomorrow. 

Tunnels passed: 2

 

 

 

 

North Cape - Europes's most northern point is raw beauty, extreme seasons and the play of arctic light. Luminous summer nights and snowcapped mountains. Just under 3300 people live in the North Cape municipality.Fishing has been a way of life and culture for centuries.
