Well today it was a short distance to travel compared to the previous day's, just 410km to Nordkapp. The roads were so much better but with that the traffic increased. I hate being pushed to drive faster for those behind us so I was the nice guy and pulled over to let them pass, must have been 10-12 times at least.
When we stopped for lunch at a rest spot in a fjord, a tour bus came in shortly after us with tourists from France. Some how we became the main attraction instead of the fjord. The people were checking out the Land Rover, watching me cook our lunch and were asking about the Canadian stickers on the landy. LOL we were so glad to see the back of that bus.
The tunnel to the island that Nordkapp is on, you decent for 3km, it levels off for a km then it's a long 3km climb out to day light again. The views here are amazing, not seen any real trees to talk of, plenty of reindeers and sheep.....the wind, well none stop is the best way to describe it. We just hope that the rooftop tent can survive the wind tonight. The forecast for tonight tomorrow is overcast with no chance of droplets from above with wind gusts as high as 9 m/s.
