Midnight sun

July 4th/ Garatangen-Sorstraumen: 344 km

Another transition day from Lofoten Islands to North Cape. I'm back to E6 road, today half on the continent, half on seaside. Weather is still so nice, and today is a good day.

Route paisible

Then, for the first time of the day, road is rising, I'm going to the top of a pass. Usually it's the promise of a nice point of view. Bingo !

So I decide to stop in the camping which is at the end of that bay. Quite nice place, no :

I thought that this bay was north oriented, so I will see midnight sun (yeah, in France, sunrise is on east, sunset on west. Here, sun tries to hide on north, but he doesn't success. )

Unfortunately, I'm not exactly facing north, and sun hides behind a mountain. This is anyway what it looks like at 11.15 PM sun time, 1.15 AM Paris time.
