Hurtigruten day 6 finds us well into the arctic circle and approaching one of the physical peaks of this Scandinavian journey. Nordkapp is a magnet for a whole host of tourist buses, brave bikers and people hiking their way north. So it is into tourist mode we go as we clamber off the ferry to board a series of buses for the short ride from the port of Honningvag to the North Cape.
It is again a magnificent day with just a touch of a breeze and good, if weak, sunshine. We complete our tourist obligations with the mandatory picture at Europe’s most northerly point.
Nordkapp is simply a mark on the map with the obligatory souvenir shop, post box, café, cinema and reindeer. We spend about 1 ½ hours there together with most of our fellow passengers plus other travellers.
