We got there, had some carbs and were ready to walk, then after about 30metres we realised we didn't have anything like the correct footwear for an 8km hike over boggy ground :o(
at getting to my intended destination. I should have researched and prepared better.... Found out just before heading out to Nordkapp that it's not the "real" northernmost point, so my mind was so preoccupied and obsessed with getting to the "real" point, i let it affect my enjoyment of the nordkapp experience. We set out for the 8km hike only to find that it's really not for us, more for people who's been hiking all their lives. It's not about the distance...anyway suffice to say i'm disappointed in myself not just for failing to achieve the goal but also being blinded by it. Still, i had the most incredible experience so far, and won't trade it for anything else. Chalk it up to a lesson learnt
Ovi and sportstracker updated for today. For some reason sportstracker was acting weird and i'm missing chunks of our journey. This day has been full of highs and lows, much like the undulating roads we've been driving on today ...
