Ha ha ha... A spare Mackerel could be hidden in their van when their not looking!!
Have to confess I was very tempted to dump the fish guts in the rocks beside them and bring all the seagulls in to annoy them. Been parked up next to Dutch, swedish, finns, Norwegians and Danish and had the crack with them but the Germans just don't get it and no sense of humour.Ha ha ha...

Up the exhaust
So the van got a bit of a rest today and it was bike and a bit of a hike, worth it for the views. It is a beautiful evening here so plan is a quick dip in the sea, just so I can say I've swum in the sea above the artic circle, won't be any pics as won't be a pretty sight.......

Just north of Svolvaer in the lofoten islandsWhere exactly is this awesome view ??
End of the line, now in Tromso and not venturing any further north. Tomorrow we head south and east into Finland, then it's Sweden and abisko national park. Norwegians seem to like old American cars, this one belonged to last night's camp site owner. Few more pics around Tromso and we sat and watched this sea eagle ripping a fish he'd caught apart, stunning birds

Oh and had the oil light come on in the van, checked level and it needed a top up. Two litres of oil cost me £59.00
Gulp - especially in an oil nation !!
I’ve heard that a box of Squid tied to the exhaust with wire is brilliantTied to the exhaust
Ferry from hull to Rotterdam, drove to hirsthals in Denmark, ferry from here to larvik in Norway. Did the western fjords up to flam and geiranger, trollstein, Atlantic road and then up to trondheim. From here worked out way up to Bodo, ferry from here to moskenes on lofoten. Spent a 5 days in the south, moved up to Svolvaer, few days here and the drove up through lofoten to Narvik. Narvik to Tromso, from here into Finland for a day, now in abisko national park in Sweden. Basically starting to work our way back south. If I'm honest Narvik, Tromso I would miss out, didn't do it for me. Finland and Sweden nice so far and much cheaper than Norway.What’s the route?
