Even though it was actually warmer here than back at home (we managed the reach 2 degrees!) the wind and the rain made sure it was one miserable day. This unfortunately meant out trip to the North Cape was cancelled 😥 on a positive note, this means we are going to have to return! Probably for the midnight sun next time.
Crampons were needed for this town as it was icy, however mine will only fit over my trainers which meant I spent half the time with freezing cold water sloshing around in my shoes.
As with most things in the north of Norway, they claim to be the northernmost; so we decided to pay a visit to the northernmost bakery in Europe. We had a lovely little pastry with creme pat and berries.
We got back on Richard quite early as we were cold, wet and tired (poor sleep last night due to the rough waters) so carried on our match of scrabble. Fortunately I won all three games!
Were both struggling with sickness tonight as it’s particularly rough. It was also a challenge at dinner because it was a fish buffet 🤢 but I soon sniffed out the cheese and meat section.
Here’s hoping for better weather and a better night sleep!
