We are leaving with full cars on Sep 12 in the morning. |
 |
The target of the first day is Denmark. We stay overnight in the town Koge near Copenhagen.
There are lots of bridges between Danish islands.
|
 |
We have to come to Stockholm the second day to take Jiri. We go to Sweden over the channel Oresund. The bridge over was opened in July 2000.
|
 |
A pink car has lost its exhaust pipe in front of Stockholm. We decided to demount separated part and continue without it.
|
 |
The little pink car is already without the exhaust pipe in Stockholm traffic jam.
|
 |
We look for a place for our tents behind Uppsala.
|
 |
The journey is very long for some participants.
|
 |
The Sunday's goal is to come to the northern Norway, to Alta. We have to pass forsaken parts of the northern Sweden and Finland.
|
 |
Finally in Alta. We sleep next to a fjord of the Arctic Ocean on a lay-by close to the 70th latitude.
Some participants think they saw the first aurora here.
|
 |
The North Cape. Weather is against us. We are outside just a while. We spend the rest of time in a broad information centre
where we see how it is nice here when it is nice weather.
|
 |
A civilization is situated also close to the North Cape. Picturesque fishing town Honningsvag.
|
 |
Tromso. We tent near this northern city. Clouds disappeared and we observe the aurora in its full
beauty.
|
 |
We look for a place for a sleep in a valley of the Skjorndalen mountains.
|
 |
We see already in the evening that this night will be very hard. However, we watch the aurora again.
|
 |
We set out over a river to Skjorndalen mountains .
|
 |
We leave a polar circle.
|
 |
Our menu is enriched with local bilberries.
|
 |
We have accommodated us in a tourist cottage in a valley of the glacier Svartisdalen.
|
 |
We undertake a trip to the glacier. The path is not very fresh.
|
 |
On a crazy escape from Norway to Finland through Sweden...
|
 |
...We have stopped on a lay-by behind the Swedish-Finnish border after 1 a.m.
|
 |
A visit of the biggest inland city in Scandinavia: Tampere.
|
 |
Helsinki, an observatory built for an accurate time measurement.
|
 |
We leave Finland by ferry from Turku to Stockholm.
