Norway 2007

Cycling the length of Norway, from Nordkapp to Skjernøy

Lofoten

We did this tour in June 2007. For many bicycle tourists Nordkapp, the northernmost road in Europe, is the final destination but because we had limited time we decided to start from Nordkapp and head south. If we ran out of time we could catch a train back to Oslo.
