Enånger
First part in Sweden from Trelleborg to Enganger. km 1054.
We chose the route along the coast along the E22 instead of the E4 via Kalmar to Stockholm to our destination for the day.
The route was very nice. But since it wasn't really a motorway, you just need a little more time.
Because the road often changes from two-lane to single-lane and back again.
Shortly before Stockholm you come to the E4, which is really a motorway as far as Stockholm.
The last 100 km will then become an expressway again with alternating overtaking lanes. But this one
Section is beautiful.
We finish our trip in Enganger as planned.
There you drive about 3 km to the water to the Borka restaurant.
There is a parking space by the water or a Borka campsite 500 meters beforehand.
Both places with toilet, shower and electricity.

Töre
It is 670km from Enanger to Töre.
We turned right about 5 km before Töre and drove 11 km to the water.
To Camping Rörbäcken.
Located right on the water, very idyllic and cozy.
It has toilet and shower facilities that are very clean and appropriate.
For an additional 50 SK (5CHF.) You can go to the sauna for 1 hour. You have to enter and reserve the seat number in advance in the book in front of the sauna.
The water in the lake is about 12-14 degrees warm
The journey on the E4 is very solid to drive with the exception of a few construction sites. Just keep to the speed, because there are always radar boxes ready.

Rovaniemi
We decided to travel via Finland on the E75 motorway towards Nordkapp.
Shortly after Rovaniemi we cross the Arctic Circle. In the Arctic Circle, of course, St. Nicholas is widely marketed and the circle and its importance are rather in the background.
After the Arctic Circle towards Ivalo, the landscape becomes wilder and wilder and the bare nature comes to light more and more.
We see the first reindeer, of course in the middle of the street. For us motorists, this means the greatest caution, because the animals have right of way.
On the way we stop at a parking lot with a small coffee and a souvenir shop.
We stock up on freshly smoked salmon and trout.
At the same time we buy some reindeer meat. But then we continue north.

We cross an intersection where a sign to the right says: Murmansk 303km. Yes, we are very close to the Russian border.
To the left we continue on the yellow Route 92. Straight ahead we would go to Kirkenes, where the King Krampen are fished.
Route 92 is absolute the hammer. Straight ahead, whatever it means with straight ahead. And then up and down. Up to the Norwegian border.

Nordkapp
From Töre we try to get the 907 km to the Nordkapp in one day.
Because we know that the weather on Tuesday (the following day) should be super nice.
On the way we discussed the midnight sun on the Nordkapp. Then it became clear to us that if it should only be nice on Tuesday, it would be better to arrive at the Nordkapp on Monday evening.
So after the solid journey on Route 92 we cross the Norwegian border. During this corona time, strict controls are made to ensure that you have the valid vaccination certificate with you.
We drive towards Laksely, approx. 80 km
There are also very nice straight stretches here. And sometimes you really feel totally in the wilderness.
The route further to Olderfjord along the coast is very strenuous. Curvy, animals on the street, bumps and sometimes a little narrow.
With the evening sun and clear blue sky, everything looks very picturesque and beautiful. The fjord, the mountains, rocks and hills, then no matter how individual groups of houses with red, yellow and brown houses that are reflected in the smooth water.
After an exhausting 70 km we arrive at the junction to Alta or just right towards Norkapp.
Our navigation system still shows us an arrival time of 10:30 p.m. That looks good.
We are still missing a full 130km on a coastal road with construction sites, tunnels and pass roads. The road gradually gets smaller the closer we get to the Kapp. The sky towards the north is still very open and clear. Hope rises and we step on the gas again.
Before we hit Honningsvag, there is even a small airport, we drive under the fjord through a tunnel. With a 10% descent into the tunnel and then again with a 10% incline out of the tunnel. It was a special feeling.
Leaving the last place behind us, we get closer and closer to the Nordkapp. It is exhausting and beautiful and at the end there is a huge climb.
Then shortly before the goal a fog bank. We thought that was it.
But lo and behold in the parking lot clear sky and the sun on the high horizon.
It was worth getting up early in Töre (departure approx. 07:00) / arrival Nordkapp 22:30.
Then we started taking photos and enjoying the whole thing. That night the sun never left us.
We were able to enjoy the beautiful weather until Tuesday afternoon at 5:00 p.m. Then came the familiar fog.

Day
Nordkapp
Since the wonderful night with the midnight sun was very early, we retired until 11 a.m.
But the nice weather lures us to the door (in front of the camper).
We set up the table and have breakfast in the midday sun on the Nordkapp.
It's amazingly warm to relax and enjoy.
In the afternoon we take a few more impressive pictures. Especially when the fog slowly but surely takes hold of the Kapp.
At 5:30 p.m. the time has come, everything shrouded in fog.
So we see this as the right time to follow the story of the Norkapp.
We pay the equivalent of 25 euros, and so come to the main building, and thus also to all services.
Such as sp. A 15min. Film with all the 4 seasons on the Kapp, the war story of World War II, as well as the clear explanation why the sun does not set in the summer months .......
And much more. I think that when you have made the trip to the Kapp, you should take this time to learn more about the Nordkapp.
We spend a second night in the fog on the Kapp. There was no longer any chance of a second midnight sun.

Alta
We leave the Norkapp at 7:00 am, in light fog / cloudy conditions.
At the first village, Hanningsvag, we make a short stop to buy fresh bread and a few little things.
Then a little walk with a few photos at the harbor.
Outside the port, we put the camper in a parking lot right by the fjord, and enjoy breakfast with smoked salmon, ginger tea and fresh bread.
Then we tackle the route to Alta. We drive on the E69 to Olderfjord.
On this already quite demanding route, I almost shut my eyes, although it is only morning. Yes with always being day, it has to be. You go to bed late and don't get enough sleep.
So we make a stop at the campsite at the Olderfjord junction. We pay 70 NoK and are allowed to connect the camper to the electricity and use the shower.
Then I take a nap, of a good 2 hours.
Showers, empty the chemical toilet, fill up with fresh water and continue on the E6 to Alta.
On the following 60-80 km we experience a high-light of landscape, expanse and pass. Simply pure nature.
The town in front of Alta seems more interesting to us than Alta itself.
We stop at the harbor and enjoy the view over the fjord.
Since the weather is coming up and the evening sun is shining from the sky, we decide to drive on to a place facing north, in order to possibly watch the short sunset. (Setting at 23:50 / rising at 0:30.

Kåfjorddalen
When I woke up in the parking lot with a view to the north, the fog had cleared, but it was cloudy.
We start at 9:00 in the direction of Kafjorddalen. There we will lace up our hiking boots and hike a little to the Gorsabrua waterfall
For now we drive a few km to the junction to the left into the valley at Kafjorddalen.
The small road leads us to a private road (gravel road) after approx. 7 km. Just keep going.
We take the first parking lot because we want to protect our motorhome and not go up the mountain with this gravel road.
If you take the hiking trail to the right across the river, you cross for a while the open-air museum of a copper mine that was still in operation 90 years ago.
The path continues through wild nature for about 3.6km, until you finally see and can enter the bridge by the waterfall.
It was worth it. By the way, we had bright sunshine.
You have to experience that.
Back we take the easy way over the upper parking lot and along the street until we get back to our mobile home after about 4 hours.
After a good cool ... we decide to make the way to Tromsö.
That was 163km to drive.
So we arrive in Tromsö around 7:00 p.m. Camping Tromsö is fully booked, what now?

We park the mobile home and buy a ticket for 24 hours. Costs 295 NK ... approx. 30 sCHF.
Without electricity and nothing ... what can you say?
As it is almost 8 p.m. we are already on our way to the center of Tromso to eat something Nordic. (Fish, shrimp or?)
We came across the inconspicuous bar / bistro / music KAIA at the very bottom of the water near the Polar Museum.
On Thursday there are shrimps as much as you can eat for 20 sCHF or with claws (24 sCHF) ...
That was amazing. Very fresh straight from the polar sea and simply natural. Anytime to recommend.
There was bread, butter, onion rings, spring onions and a kind of garlic mayo.
We ate up to 1kg shrimp and a nice portion of prongs. (per person)
The service was very friendly and entertaining.
So we ended a multifaceted day with a typical Nordic meal that we won't soon forget.

At around 9:00 am there is breakfast with a fresh, typical sourdough bread from Tromsö.

In advance we try to change a few euros at the post office. Unfortunately it failed. There are no more banks and payments are ONLY always made by card. We heard about an exchange office where you can also send money.
We aim for that on the way back.
Yes the polar museum is worth it. Costs approx. CHF 10 per person.
After a while in the museum, it goes way back in time to the north. as also wanted to conquer the south pool fully with.
Is recommended.
In the afternoon we start the journey towards the island of Senja.
We choose the longer route over land. There is also a shorter route where you can take a ferry.
In advance we are looking for a campsite with electricity and a shower.
We find Fjordbothn Camping.

Gryllefjord
From Botnhamn we drive on the coastal road 861 and later the 864 and the final part on the 86 to Gryllefjord, where we tackle the ferry crossing to Andenes.
The route is very picturesque with a few special viewpoints for taking photos. Even if the sun is not shining, it gives a very nice impression.
In Gryllefjord we use the waiting time with a walk through the humble village.
We enter a small restaurant and treat ourselves to coffee and cake. It seems that you could also eat very well-prepared fish there.
To release the ticket.
Everything runs directly with the credit card .. then you pay the full price. (approx. 1700NOK including driver)
If you take a closer look and download a corresponding app, log in with the QR code, you buy a ticket for: 1265NOK including driver.
I think you can save yourself a few Frankli.

Since we wrote a long report last night and it just didn't get dark, we didn't go to sleep until around 02:00.
So it happened that we had breakfast at 12:00 noon, and at around 3:00 pm we drove towards Gryllefjord. Everything outside along the coast on road 862, which in turn joins road 86 about 35km before Gryllefjord.
Narrow road, small tunnels but fantastic fjords, nature and wilderness ... highly recommended.
So we arrived at Gryllefjord around 5:00 p.m., where we took the ferry to Andenes. Departure 19:00.
Crossing Approx. 2 hours. We have an autopass box, which unfortunately is not valid for this crossing.

We decide to go whale watching in Andenes.
That is why we drive to the pitch with electricity, shower and toilet at the end of Andenes.

Costs for our Womo 8-10m. approx. 1200 NOK plus 150 NOK per person
We decide to go whale watching in Andenes.
That is why we drive to the pitch with electricity, shower and toilet at the end of Andenes.

Andenes
After a quiet night, we enjoy breakfast outside in the sun, at a pleasant 14c.
After a long walk through Andenes, we position ourselves at 2:45 p.m. at the Check Inn for a whale sightseeing tour. per person 1160NOK.
an around 5h. Boat trip out to sea. With wind waves and about
8-10c .... it was a great experience.
you can see the rest in the pictures.
At around 9 p.m. we return and drive a little further to Maurnes. about 88km.
It is advisable to fill the fuel tank in Andenes, because it is a lot cheaper there than what is coming towards Lofoten.

Henningsvær
Yes, the trip to Henningsvaer was worth it.
At the junction immediately after about 100 meters you can see a small beach on the left at low tide.
The Norwegians go for a swim in 16c warm water.
If you follow the road, after crossing two bridges, you will come to the small village of Hanningwear.
Which extends over a couple of arms of the island.
A music festival is held here every year from August 2-4. We are just arriving on August 2nd.
That's why it's so busy with young people. Something is going on.
A small troupe from Oslo meets every year at the broadcast mast on the small plateau to dance in the mood.
It was a fun moment for us too.
The soccer field is located on another arm of the island. Exactly where we can see Lofoten in every picture.
Surrounded by the wooden scaffolding for drying and preserving the cod (stockfish)
We eat the well-known fish tatties and buy a little fresh salmon, which we then fry in the evening.

Uttakleivveien
Our overnight destination is Uttaklei Beach.
We drive over a very narrow road to the coast and find a very beautiful light beach there, as if we were in the Caribbean.
But that's not our goal yet. It goes through a tunnel (800m) until we reach Uttakleivveien on the other side.
There is an entrance with control on the beach. We pay 250 nok for an overnight stay. With this money this dreamlike place is kept clean and entertained.
It has toilet water and waste options. (No power connection.)
We try to put our motorhome upright on the hill and look forward to the fresh salmon, which we fry in olive oil with onions, olives and cherry tomatoes. There is also a rice. Barely cooked, this was a poem by candlelight.
After a digestive walk and a series of photos, we are tired enough to go to bed at midnight.

Borg
After our breakfast, we leave at around 10:30 am, back on the E10 and a few kilometers back to Borg.
Because the Vinking Museum opens there at 11:00.
Entry per person 225 nok.
We experience an exhibition with the finds that were made, then we visit the nave and can see how the Vikings lived in such a house. And also cooked over an open fire. Today there is vegetable soup.
Then we take a walk to the nearby lake, where we have the opportunity to take a lap in a Viking ship in a moderate wind. There are several other attractions that children especially like.
It was a worthwhile trip to go back to the Viking times for a moment.
Then we drive a few kilometers further south on the E10. Up to the Bukness Church.
Since this is currently being painted on the outside, there is unfortunately no way to see it from the inside.
So it stays with the outside view.

Nusfjord
Yes, the historic fishing village of Nusfjord will shortly give you a very impressive insight into fishing from the 19th century and earlier.
With original disused craft houses that are still 1: 1 original. In this village everything needed for fishing was self-made.
really impressive. The picturesque little harbor with the houses on stilts, as well as the fishing ships, are ready for any camera.
In the evening mood (daylight) we still enjoy the view and eat a really fresh pizza with homemade smoked salmon and rocket in the only small restaurant. That was really a poem. With 2 draft beers (0.5 liters). It shows us once again that beer is absolutely too expensive in Norway. whole CHF 11:00.
Since the sky is more or less cloudy on this day too, we drive to Hamnöy and place the Schiltkrötli on a small gravel place between the road, bridge and water.

Hamnøy
We meet a family from Germany on the small gravel parking lot (3 Womos). He is cleaning the mackerel.
I speak to him and he will tell you about his catch from today.
It wasn't the best day of catching, he says .... I'm amazed because I have about 30 stk. See mackerel in front of me.
With my amazement, he asks me if we would like some fresh mackerel.
You only have to ask us once.
So there is the following deal:
3 wonderful fresh mackerel, against 3 cans of anchor beer.
We are happy and he was happy.
We take a look at a small part of Hamnöy and end the day in a wonderful little restaurant with coffee, a visit to the toilet and a cold platter of anti pasta.
The night, which is still bright, begins with a lot of disapproval from the seagulls ...
Good night.

Pluscamp Saltstraumen
After a very pleasant night and a hearty breakfast, we use the large table to find out when the current (Straumen) is strongest, so that we can really experience this impressive natural water game.
Since 10:00 is already over at the latest, we can look forward to 16:07.
So we walk the car bridge to watch the water spectacle from above. It is very impressive what kind of water vortex it forms and pushes the water back to the surface at the edge.
The view from the side also gives an impression of hydropower.
This moment is especially ideal for the many fishermen to fish because it pushes the fish to the surface.
When we return to the Schilrkrötli around 6 p.m., we greet our new neighbors, a German family.
In conversation we find out that this family has just got our destination for tomorrow (Svartisen Glacier) behind them.
So we can plan our day and route correctly based on good tips.
which in turn means getting up early and driving off is a big advantage. The correct route choice to get the easiest way to one of the many glacier tongues and to find a parking space there.
So we throw on the grill again to grill our giant steak (for 2) with fried potatoes and beer.
We made very good progress today with photo editing and writing reports and can dive into the next bright night with a clear conscience. Because wake up is 6:00 am.
