Once again into the Land of wonders..
After the failed first attempt to write a LOT about the Helsinki-Kirkenes-Nordkapp trip for christmas vacation, i am writing from scratch for the second time.
All the way through the northern norway Kirkenes to Norkapp only thing I could do is a humble bow, to the extreme mystery behind the Gigantic mountains, deserted house – a single house on top of a hill or a single house in middle of a river, or a single house in middle of a huge plain. All i was feeling is like the myths,stories,tales about the longliving Himalyas and her saints came true in front of my eyes but as a modern living. Fortunately or unfortunately we had hardly 2 hrs of sunlight for a day to see this extreme presence of nature in this part of the world but yet a fullfiled experience. Though the last 30 kms of the road was closed due to a bad weather it didn’t stop me from drowing in the beauty of the glorious mountains and nature… Hats off once again…wish i will see thy again…..

Funny/Scary part: Our return journey down the hill was accompanied by bulldozer and ambulance(due to bad weather) fearing our car will jump out the mountain roads. :p
