And Finally....the Nordkapp

Today's the big day. We make it to the North Cape! We decide to have a slow start to day as the weather is a bit grim and we hope it will fair up. We visit the Nordkapp Museum and buy a fw souvenirs - we got tee shirts, hats and yet more stickers!! And then around noon, head north for the final 25 miles.  It's quite a road: narrow and with very steep drops. Don't get it wrong and watch out for kamikazi deliver delivers and tour buses! This picture turned out to be the last road sign before we arrived. Just 13km to go! On arriving we discover its £26 each to get in to the final headland. (Bring plenty of money if you are coming to this part of the world!)

The weather over the last 20 miles was grim, in part I guess because we climbed quite high and were in the clouds. The cape was covered in mist and it was cold when we arrived so we had a cup of coffee and warmed up a bit. We were in no rush. Sally bumped into to somebody working there who she knew! A chap from the pub last night!! Ha ha. It was a funny moment.

After a while the sun came out and a tour bus departed - the way was clear and we had the Globe to ourselves. We go busy with our cameras!! We had made it and we went potty with the camera. Well why not? Not likely to come again and we need plenty of shots. For an hour or so the sun shone and we made the most of it. FANTASTIC!

After a while, we walked east along the headland and found grassy bank for a snooze. In fact we found the ultimate grassy bank: that is a 300 feet drop down to the sea. Quite a bank! We had a little snooze in the sunshine and pondered our location. Getting here had been a dream for quite a while and we had done it. In total it was about 2200 miles from home and we had enjoyed everyone of those miles. REALLY FANTASTIC.

We are heading back to the Nord Pub now to watch the football - I think its Brazil tonight and of course we are now "locals" in the only pub in town!

Cheers readers!!
