Lofoten to Nordkapp

You guessed it probably already, the Lofoten were picturesque. The rocks, sea and little houses that a spread on the lush meadows In the midst of the mountains add to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the weather was only mediocre. It was quite rainy, windy and cloudy. We camped on a ground directly at the beach and met with all the other teams to celebrate the midnight sun party. We had a BBQ and participated in the viking games. However, we were eliminated in the first round already. In the morning we left towards the North with a stop along the way to catch up with some sleep, another to visit a wildlife park, And yet another one to fulfill the next challenge. The challenge was to play football(soccer) with a local club. We met three kids who were more than happy to kick a bit. We lost three nil. since we were only able to get our picture at the Nordkapp between 1 and 8 am we made another stop in Hammerfest. We got dinner and spent time in the Royal and Ancient Polar Bear Society. Upon arrival at the Nordkapp we got 2 hours of sleep before getting ready for the picture in front of the globe. You’ll get the official one once we copied it from Ines camera. Until then you have to put up with a picture from the queue: We just entered Finland a few hours ago and are well on our way towards warmer areas. Reindeers are always on our heels. Our goal is to reach Rovaniemi.

See you next time,
