Not only reindeer, they don&#039;t exist in Scotland, but also sheep everywhere, all of which run on and off the road. You really have to be careful when driving that one of the animals doesn&#039;t run in front of the car. The second day in Norway has started or is already half over and we have already seen more reindeer than in Finland. It&#039;s unbelievable how many people walk around here and then even in herds.

Water and mountains everywhere you look. We feel confirmed that Norway will become our country. Although, the winter would have to be tested at some point. The coastal road also leads through several tunnels, which are 0.7 to 7 km long. The one with 7 km also has a gradient and an ascent halfway through 10% and leads at the lowest point 220m below sea level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Tunnelfotografie-ala-Melli.jpg\" alt=\"Tunnelfotografie ala Melli\" class=\"wp-image-2031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Tunnelfotografie-ala-Melli.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Tunnelfotografie-ala-Melli-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Tunnelfotografie-ala-Melli-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Tunnelfotografie-ala-Melli-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Tunnelfotografie-ala-Melli-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Tunnelfotografie-ala-Melli-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Tunnelfotografie-ala-Melli-528x297.jpg 528w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption>Tunnel photography ala Melli.

On the way to the Nordkapp, the road in the tunnel was repeatedly torn open and thus a small mogul slope. On the way back the next day, everything was ready except for the end piece, where we drove out again. They work really fast here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We made it, our northernmost destination, the Nordkapp, has been reached. Incredible, driven almost 8000 km and then you are standing there, at the \u201cend of the world\u201d. An emotional chaos; Happiness, satisfaction and pride grasp us. What have we experienced and seen in the last few weeks. Here on the Nordkapp you actually notice that it is Corona times. The parking lot is almost empty, few cars, but more mobile homes, no coaches. Since we were there early and the weather was great, we walked straight to the globe with photo equipment. Unbelievable, so little going on that you can take photos without unwanted people at a humane time of day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Nordkapp-Globus.jpg\" alt=\"Nordkapp Globus\" class=\"wp-image-2007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Nordkapp-Globus.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Nordkapp-Globus-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Nordkapp-Globus-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Nordkapp-Globus-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Nordkapp-Globus-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Nordkapp-Globus-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Nordkapp-Globus-528x297.jpg 528w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption>Nordkapp globe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we went to the Nordkapp, I expressed the wish to spend the night there if it wasn&#039;t too stormy. Since we have to pay 20 euros for 12h parking anyway and the weather was fine, we stayed overnight. Actually, I would have liked to visit the shop and maybe also write one or the other postcard. But to get into the building, where there is a museum, the shop and a cafe, you would have paid another 25 euros per person. We didn&#039;t do that after all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Aussicht-am-Nordkapp.jpg\" alt=\"Aussicht am Nordkapp\" class=\"wp-image-1980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Aussicht-am-Nordkapp.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Aussicht-am-Nordkapp-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Aussicht-am-Nordkapp-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Aussicht-am-Nordkapp-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Aussicht-am-Nordkapp-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Aussicht-am-Nordkapp-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Aussicht-am-Nordkapp-528x297.jpg 528w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption>View on the Nordkapp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the last round with Finja in the evening I counted the German mobile homes.

Hammer, we haven&#039;t seen that many Germans since the Baltic States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the evening the wind increased a bit and since there is no wind catcher around, the polar bear was rocked a bit. Nevertheless we slept well and long. However, the wind also brings cold and we slowly have to put on our warmer jackets, if not the winter jackets, and hats. My warm shoes are now used after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Melli-am-Ende-von-Europa.jpg\" alt=\"Melli am Ende von Europa\" class=\"wp-image-2001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Melli-am-Ende-von-Europa.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Melli-am-Ende-von-Europa-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Melli-am-Ende-von-Europa-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Melli-am-Ende-von-Europa-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Melli-am-Ende-von-Europa-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Melli-am-Ende-von-Europa-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Melli-am-Ende-von-Europa-528x297.jpg 528w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption>Melli at the end of Europe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I then drove the way back from the Nordkapp so that Basti could take pictures in between.

There was a cruise ship in the harbor, but there were no people to be seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Am-Hafen-nach-Seiland.jpg\" alt=\"Am Hafen nach Seiland\" class=\"wp-image-1978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Am-Hafen-nach-Seiland.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Am-Hafen-nach-Seiland-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Am-Hafen-nach-Seiland-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Am-Hafen-nach-Seiland-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Am-Hafen-nach-Seiland-570x321.jpg 570w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Am-Hafen-nach-Seiland-1110x624.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Am-Hafen-nach-Seiland-528x297.jpg 528w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption>At the harbor to Seiland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of Corona, many cruise ships are not allowed to land and we thought that this ship was sitting out the time here in the port. A little above Hammerfest there was a lookout point that we walked up to. It&#039;s unbelievable what a view of the city from up here. And then the sun is shining too. One can see part of the island of Seiland as well as a whole part of the island of Soroya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"587\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Aussicht-Hammerfest.jpg\" alt=\"Aussicht Hammerfest\" class=\"wp-image-1983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Aussicht-Hammerfest.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Aussicht-Hammerfest-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Aussicht-Hammerfest-1024x470.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Aussicht-Hammerfest-768x352.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Aussicht-Hammerfest-570x261.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption>Hammerfest view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the night we drove to the other side of the island, where the fishing village Forsol is located. There we stood by a bay and looked out through the harbor at the sea. There was also a sight that we could easily walk to. In fact, they have found ancient remains of dwellings here, which come from the indigenous people of Norway. A little further through we saw a bay with a sandy beach and green clear water for the first time. The water is so clear that you can see right down to the bottom. However, it was too cold to bathe. Finja first let off steam on the beach and we took pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Strand-Forsol.jpg\" alt=\"Strand Forsol\" class=\"wp-image-2028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Strand-Forsol.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Strand-Forsol-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Strand-Forsol-1024x522.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Strand-Forsol-768x392.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kawanga.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Strand-Forsol-570x291.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><figcaption>Forsol beach<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We spent the night quite well and slept well. The morning, however, was a bit stormy. The polar bear was shaken and the sea was properly whipped. Since we will now spend a week on the island of Seiland, where there is only one small shop, which is probably also very expensive, we went shopping in Hammerfest for a short time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also did the disposal in the port. In fact, the cruise ship with passengers ran out during that time. So they are apparently allowed to drive again. When we arrived at the ferry, there were already a few cars and it is only a small car ferry. But we all took care and 15 minutes later we were on Seiland.
