28th May Nordkapp

We experienced the midnight sun from our overnight parking at the lighthouse on Sunday night, it was so cold that night we did not leave the van. The next morning with no wind it was hot again. We spent yesterday driving to get back on track after our detour to Nordkyn. The drive was on the old Atlantic highway and was a test for the build quality of our van, they have yet to repair the road after the ravages of the winter weather. We drove through a very stark landscape for about 60 miles that looked like the after effects of a nuclear attack. Finally the landscape improved and we parked on a beach at the side of a fjord, we sat outside in 25c sunshine. There were plenty of birds to spot, perhaps not quite the type that Ron had in mind. In the morning we were lucky enough to see 2 dolphins. We are now at the north cape and we have gone from summer to winter in the space of an hour. We are here at the most northerly point in Europe, we paid the rip off sum of £26 each but somehow it had to be done!
