Yes, we have arrived at Nordkapp. Haven't sorted out the photos here yet, so they will have to follow later. There are some photos to catch up on:
Going to Norkapp in a motorhome is easy! There are a surprising number of cyclists making their way north too. We kept seeing this young man over a period of about a week - he was keeping pace with us! When we arrived at a ferry at the same time we went to talk to him, then had a good chat during the ferry crossing. He is on his gap year and is, amongst other things, cycling the length of Norway! That will be some achievement for his CV!
The roads in Norway are generally quite narrow, as they don't seem to like wasting tarmac. When passing a lorry or coach, you must have your nearside wheel ON the white line. The lorries and coaches are mostly very good and follow the nearside white line exactly (I should add that there is usually about 3 inches of tarmac beyond the white line and very often a 45 deg. slope after that). Here is what happens when you get it wrong!
