9. 6. 2023 - 21 km / 200 hm Bratland - Furoy

In beautiful sunshine we take the planned 43 km early in the morning under the wheels. 

But first it comes differently and secondly than one thinks. We would have liked to drive around the first, 2 km long tunnel. Presumably because of the danger of falling rocks, the old path along the coast is closed. Fortunately, additional warning lights are installed so that the tunnel is also passable for bicyclists, which must be activated as bicyclists before entering the tunnel.

After 13 km we board the ferry for the first time (2 ferry crossings were planned today). There we meet again Jenny and Ole, a young German couple whose goal is the North Cape.

Shortly after the polar circle is crossed, the ferry turns, makes a U-turn (180° turn) and drives to an additional port. We learn that our planned second ferry is cancelled due to a service disruption. Therefore, our ferry changes course, calls at additional ports and takes us directly to our destination for the day in Furoy. So we cross the Arctic Circle three times today, twice from south to north and once in the opposite direction.
