North, north

Parted company with the yellow campers and we went further north as they turned east through Finland towards Russia.    We camped outside Tromso surrounded by campers who all had dogs - an International Dog Show was on in town and they had come from as far as Germany.  The next day, passed through Tromso (cold and wet) but only took a drive around town.  Probably did not see it as its best or it’s attractions.  Camped at a site we had found before leaving home and were pleased the commentary on it was true when we arrived.  At the camp, met a cyclist from the US who started out in Alta the previous day.  The number of touring cyclists (bicycles loaded with panniers) has been quite an eye-opener.  Many are also not young.  This guy was commencing the journey we had just completed through Norway - except on a bicycle that fully loaded weighed 80 KG.

We had made it to 70 degrees North and the next day on the road to Alta would be our most northerly latitude of 70 08.306 N  22 59.178E.  If we were in the southern hemisphere we would be on the Antarctic continent!
