Hey All,

This part would be about my trip from the North Cape to Kirkeness.
While driving I saw that there was a canyon nearby and I usually really like canyons an so I went to have a look. This was a pretty nice canyon and you could like a large part on top of the ‘cliff’. In the picture below, I’m enjoying a snack after walking next to the canyon for a while.
When in Northern Norway you’re in a pretty good spot to learn about the Sami culture. Still would like to know more, but the Varanger Sami Museum is a very nice, small museum on this subject!
Near Kirkenes I stayed at the “Snowhotel Kirkenes”, the first night I spend in the snowhotel itself and the second night I stayed in a cabin. When you sleep in the snowhotel (entirely made of ice and the rooms were -4 ËšC) you are provided with a sleepingbag, but I couldn’t close this sleeping bag, because it was way too warm. It was a pretty nice experience though and I can definitely recommend staying in a ice hotel at some point, especially when they have a warm sauna available when you wake up 😄
That was it for part 4, continue to part 5, also known as the final part.
Cheers,
Paul
