Cyclists’ village

Today initially my plan was to take a day at Honnigsvåg before biking to Nordkapp; but after eating an excellent cinnamon bun at a grocery store at Storbukt, I decided to go for it.

I reached Nordkapp mid afternoon; mildly annoyed by inconsiderate tourist car traffic. Met Balazs, Ruben, his partner, Tim, James and many other cyclists. I had thought of going back late in evening during the golden sun and taking the boat to Tromsø early in the morning tomorrow, but eventually I ended up staying here in Nordkapp with a few others, the landscape is quite grand; Who knows if I’ll ever come back here.

I suppose it is true that the journey is more important than the destination; Nordkapp itself is quite unremarkable even though the landscape is quite surreal. I am quite indifferent about the place. The feeling of being on the road on the other hand, is blissful.

The plateau
It’s a village!
The spot
The landscape
The cliffs
The Sunset

Good Night!
