And a few more pics.

The Sea Wolf in HavĆøysund. Now thatā€™s got DĆødeligste Fangst written all over it. Thumbs Up



View S towards the town from the wind farm.



Couple of great views heading back south.





And a couple of sweeeeet diddy fishing boats just wanting their pic taken. Mr. Green



And yes, the local Costa coffee is still here.

Yep, doin good. Fantastic RT day today. The weather, the roads, the scenery and the quietness of it all. High point was watching that pod of dolphins or porpoises swimming up the fjord, that was fab. Thumbs Up

Karasjok to HonningsvĆ„g via HavĆøysund is one drive that's difficult to beat. Mr. Green

And forgot to say that this (the wind farm) is the furthest I'll be heading north on this trip, it's just a whisker further N than the NC/HonningsvƄg junction.

Looks like Costa might be shifting, peeps in hi viz hanging around.

Here on panoramic mode, itā€™s too big for normal.

And in arty mode.





Peeps streaming back on. Sheā€™s either heading off or itā€™s dinner time. Whistle



And then sheā€™s gone! I thought they sounded the hooter but no, silent departure. Hasnā€™t improved the view much!! Laughing Laughing

Morning all, another day, another cruise ship!!



Just bimbling locally today, just down to Alta and around. Plus will try and find this elusive Turpitz museum, itā€™s gotta be there.

And hereā€™s the clicky linky thing. Thumbs Up https://glympse.com/04XE-R2KZ?utm_source=h...ign=invite

Looks like your doing laps of the car-park or more likely started Glymse at breakie and making a second run at the breakfast buffet Rolling with laughter

Second? Pah, that's just getting warmed up. Unfortunately this far north they've not heard of croissants and pan au chocs, plus it's slice bread off a loaf so no smuggling out elevenses and lunch today. Might have to buy some. Big Cry Big Cry

Binned hotel, wild CVing it tonight. Sticky Rib Pit Nood for scoff. Itā€™s stopped raining so all is well with the world. Thumbs Up



Will bung up pics & annotate later.

Pretty self explicit. Looks like theyā€™ve cleaned it up a bit as it was getting covered in stickers. The sign, not my car. Whistle





Pretty dramatic road from HonningsvƄg south, plenty of cliffs for the trolls to hide in, and a few tunnels.





At the Store Korsnes WW2 gun battery site, just N of Alta and protecting the approaches, pos for when Turpitz was there. Plenty of discussion https://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=170054 re the site, and yes there were 18 bolts, I counted them. They seemed quite excited about this, weird these internet types. Laughing

















And this little beauty was prowling round the site, just in case anyone else fancied invading. Thumbs Up



Memorial in KĆ„fjord church yard to the RN submariners that tried to sink the Turpitz there.



And for balance, to the German soldiers and sailors that were killed by allied attackā€™s, ending in the Lancaster raids that turned her over near Tromso. As seen in a RT a few years ago. Thumbs Up



Lots of angry mountains, and rain. Itā€™s not meant to rain!!!







And no sign of our Swiss tractor & caravan combo. I expect Iā€™ll pass them tomorrow. Whistle Most exotic up to today had been from one from Malta, a car from Georgia, but today trumps those for distance, 3 cars from China!! And I thought I was a long way from home. Thumbs Up

Is that Columbian coffee in that Jetboil?

If it is, Iā€™d prop it up with something or itā€™ll fall over all by itself....

Just sayin..... šŸ˜‰

Isn't look as bad as that in reality, full gas can helps stability. And for once I can't blame the horizon in the pic. That's pretty good, well for me! Laughing

Bed time, first time using the D4 on a RT as a camper-van. Obviously space & shape are the same, but Iā€™ve got the LoadLugga above my head so just have to remember that when the trolls come out to play!! Shocked Plus the grab handles on the D3 front seats made it a lot easier to get in to the back, theyā€™re gone and I almost fell back out the car on first try. Embarassed

Half inflated thermarest, foam mattress, 2 bags & pillow and itā€™s as comfy as a comfy thing. Thumbs Up



Might turn off the fridge if it gets too noisy but the car is good at insulating out the traffic noise. Thumbs Up

Havenā€™t decided where Iā€™ll end up tomorrow. Iā€™ve got a hotel booked in Harstad or could go to Batterie Dietl instead & wild camp. Harstad is where Dark Bluie was scrapped, almost a year ago. Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry

Night folks.
