Across the Gulf…
This week, we left Finland and entered Estonia with two “urban” stops, one on each side of the Gulf of Finland. We are now on the southern side of the Baltic Sea, back on the mainland after all this time in Scandinavia…

Following the border…
From lake to lake and forest to forest, we continued our route south through Finland.

At World’s End…
Here we are. After 14 weeks of traveling from the southernmost point of continental Europe, we arrived at the northernmost point of the European continent: the North Cape!… Symbol aside, the day and the hike to the lighthouse were truly exceptional, with seals and two whales playing peacefully a few meters from the shore, not…

So this week, we made a decision and changed plans a little…

In the land of trolls…
After 2h40 on a ferry, we arrived in Norway, the last country on our list until the North Cape. Just the time to disembark and we had already crossed our first fjords, circled dozens of lakes, seen hundreds of waterfalls and regained some altitude… We were also totally horrified by the tourist overcrowding here. The heads and tails of the same country, in a way…

The country of happy people…
One week to cross Germany. It’s not that the country is ugly, but between the floods in the south and the general ban on staying anywhere other than a motorhome parking lot, the truth is that we really want to get to Denmark soon!… 🙂
