Day 8

Last night when we camped in Olderfjord the Swiss couple who parked next to us happened to be driving a Land Rover. We haven't seen so many adventure equipped vehicles so far on our trip, so it was cool to see them plus talk.

Today was going to be a day of as lot of driving. The first trial that I planned to drive started in Skågvarre, but when were at the start for the trail it was marked for back packers and cyclists. This had me stumped with the information I had so we decided in taking the decision to not upset any other trail users and not drive it.

So a quick recalculation with the Garmin and we were heading In the direction of the Alta Old Postal road which we decided to drive from the lowest point to Alta. The road appeared to be more rough than usual as it was heavily rutted. Many hours later we came out in Alta where we refuelling for the 11th time in 8 days.

From Alta we decided to simply take the quickest and only way to the 3 boundaries meeting point for this time Sweden, Finland and Norway. By the time of 11 at night we decided that it was enough driving for today and found a nice grassy meadow by the highway in Oksfjordhamn.
