We left Lofoten in the morning by ferry to Senja Island. The weather was beautiful and the ride was really enjoyable, sitting on deck in the sun.
We drove right across the Senja Island, but made a stop at the Senja Troll. It was a fun stop, even if the target group for this place probably is for a bit younger people.
We continued our trip towards Alta, and one of the most famous salmon rivers in the world. It is a beautiful drive with snow dressed mountains and blue fjords. The trees are starting to change colours - autumn is starting in the north.
We regularly meet reindeer on the roads, so we drive carefully and enjoy the scenery.
After walking around the city of Alta, we looked for a place to stay for the night near the river. We were really lucky and parked just a couple of meters from the river, with a fantastic view with fishermen and jumping salmon only meters away.
More than once it was tempting to get the fishing gear out of the car and try our luck, but we had no license and are law obedient Swedish people. We are so far north now, so we only have an hour or two of darkness in the night.
We had decided to go as far north as possible, so Nordkapp was our next target. To get there we had to pass through a long and rather expensive tunnel.
Nordkapp was different and very beautiful, but we continued our trip towards Finland after a brief stop at the most northern point.
