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.

One of our to do list tasks whilst travelling up through Sweden was a visit to the capital city, Stockholm. After ablutions, in the caravan, a rarity, we packed ready to travel to our target for the day, Gränna Camping which was roughly half way toward Stockholm.
When packing to leave, I prepare the outside whilst Kim does inside. My job was much easier as we hadn’t detached the car, nor had an electric cable to wind, nor used the stabilising legs because of our late arrival. Continue reading Toward Stockholm
