All Towing Posts – This tag marks all posts where we were travelling between stopping sites while towing the caravan. It does not include sightseeing trips.
Despite Alta campsite being just off the main road, which runs around the edge of the fjord, we were not disturbed by any traffic noise during the night.
The facilities were a little dated but were as always, clean and tidy and there was plenty of free hot water. There appears to be no delineation of pitches, which has been quite common in Scandinavia.
Our plan was to head to Tromsø, a city on an island of the same name. In order to cut down on the mileage, and to give Ray a well deserved break our journey would include a couple of ferry trips.
After enjoying a buffet breakfast in the visitor centre at Nordkapp, pre-paid, we packed up and began our journey in a southerly direction, in search of the Lofoten Islands. Our intention was to camp at Olderfjord over night.
It was another beautiful morning and the temperature was already in the high 20’s as we set off back along the main E 69.
The last ten days have been spent dashing for the midnight sun travelling the 1750 km, or so, from Bredäng Camping to Nordkapp (North Cape), said to be the most northerly point of Europe that you can drive to. This included some R&R and domestic tasks in Sundsvall and the stunning Storforsen rapids.
