Silvester chillen

Today is not much going on. Around 11:30 I left my tent and thought I'd take the snow plow to the North Cape. Well, there was about 20cm of fresh snow overnight and it was quite stormy.

Fortunately, I could secure my tent well and set it up relatively protected from the wind. So I could sleep well.

Actually, a plow was supposed to go up again around 12 o'clock, but since it was even worse higher up, the road was closed again this morning.

However, I managed to secure a spot in the snow plow for tomorrow, January 1, 2020, so I'll leave for the North Cape around 7 am tomorrow morning, maybe it will be a little brighter then.

As soon as I was in the town or rather the suburbs, I met 4 Austrians from Vienna. They were dumpster diving at the rema (something like Aldi) and getting ready to go to the North Cape.

I told them that it wouldn't work out today. Shortly afterwards, another German who is traveling in a car and also sleeps in the car came by. We talked briefly and exchanged information and then went our separate ways.

I went into the town in the snowstorm, you could call it a blizzard, and looked around.

It was also not really worth taking pictures because I only arrived in the town around 1 pm and well... it could have been 10 pm, it was all dark.

On the way back to the tent, I saw the 4 of them again from a distance as they were picked up as hitchhikers.

I will now walk to the tent at 4 pm, I'm still sitting in the rema and writing. And then I will put on my snowshoes and explore the terrain a bit.

So, it's 5 pm, I'll give up on the snow shovel, it's just too windy and stormy. You can't see anything anymore no matter where you look.

But I have prepared my tent on the outside a bit better and built a small wall, but I don't think it will help much.

Then I rearranged my stuff a bit better and distributed it in the backpack. And I'm enjoying the fact that there is no wind in the tent.

Even though I am already quite well protected from the wind, just a few meters further along the coast it's wild.

That was this morning, but it's no less now.

Let's see if I'll go to the town again or just sleep through New Year's Eve. I think it will be fine here.

For those who still want to know exactly where I am.

There... the blue dot. The two flags are cabins, in the right one there is also a fireplace, as I have been told.

That's the blue dot again, just a little enlarged.
