Walking 25 km from Persfjord, we passed Vardø and went straight to Kibergneset, which is the most easterly point of the main land of Norway. This is our last and final mile stone for our trip, reaching last extreme point of Norway! Here we made camp amongst the ruins from the 2. World war. The … Continue reading Kibergneset
Persfjord and the surrounding area is an amazing place, just out of this world.

This is a … Continue reading Row, Row, Row Your Boat
We are finally here! Nordkapp! The northernmost point of Noraway and also the whole of mainland Europe. To get here, we first had to walk the 7 kilometre long underwater tunnel to Magerøya island.

One of these places is Mollisjok. No electricity or connection to the main roads, they live a nice and quite life. They offer … Continue reading Fresher than fresh
We are well on our way towards Nordkapp and everywhere we go we can see signs of the Sami people moving their herds of reindeer from their winter pastures towards the coast and the summer pastures.
