Day 32/33 - Kautokeino - Alta

Reaching the Fjords...
After a "surprisingly" cold and short night in my tent, I started yesterday morning at 6 my ride to Alta along the Altaelv, one of the best salmon fishing spots in Europe. I quickly realized that flat roads belong to the past and that from now on it will be a constant up and down. In order to get some rest and "refuel" for the final step to North Cape, I decided to spend 2 nights in Alta. So today I started with an excellent and relaxed breakfast before I went for a sightseeing-WALK. First I climbed the roughly 200m hill "Komsa" from which I enjoyed a breathtaking view over the Alta Fjord and the city. In the afternoon I visited the Alta Museum, which is mainly about the famous pre-historic rock carvings which are more than 6000 years old and UNESCO World Heritage, but also about local history, Sami culture, Salmon fishing,... Tonight I will have a good meal and prepare for the next 3 days which will hopefully lead me to North Cape.
