MAKING METERS
With beautiful weather, the North Cape that is getting closer and well-trained legs, you want to make some distance!
Driving around a roadblock was not my most tactical move today, because behind it was a landslide. Nice to see, but not really worth driving around. Then take the E6 main road

LONG DAY, LOTS OF SUN
Today the last two ferries were on the schedule. To ensure a good connection, I got up early again. Yesterday I drank and ate too little afterwards, and that wouldn't happen to me again.
I am now so high up that when the sun shines - and it did today - it remains light for a wonderfully

SENJA & KVALOYA
After the early crossing to Senja the weather varied a bit, mainly sunny but also occasionally cloudy. I realized a little too late that it was really sunny and I got a little sunburned on my face.
The route was truly phenomenal, winding along the coast, and in terms of (camper) traffic

SUN, SEA & WIND
Get up early to catch an early boat after an hour. The sun broke through early and that was nice, because I hadn't seen it for a few days.
The rugged Atlantic coast was beautiful, but also had a nasty headwind today. So the large pasta salad in Sortland went down well!
I also spotted my

LOFOTEN
It is no coincidence that my route to the North Cape has such a crazy winding path. In 2019 I was already in Lofoten for a hiking adventure, and since then I dreamed of returning by bike. Today was the day.
Weaving between the cliffs and the water, I made my way across the islands. Sometimes it

QUICK SLEEPING PLACE
I expected a little more comfort from the seats on the 4-hour boat trip, but I did exchange nice stories with another cycling tourist from Germany. Mateo and I looked for a spot together and it was quickly found!

NORDKAPP
It may have been the last day, but it certainly wasn't easy. A strong headwind and low clouds all day long. A 100km stretch of nothing but rocks and asphalt without any form of civilization felt almost alien. But nothing could keep me away from the North Cape.
The 'North Cape Tunnel' was a different
