After landing we borrowed a car and
started to explore the most easterly part of Norway. Actually if
you follow the latitude, you will pass Istanbul and Cairo. First
trip was to follow one part of the borderarea between Norway and
Russia. Totally is the border 196 km long, and we managed to
follow a long part of it. Here we drive along Grense Jacobselv
towards the north, and after passing the small nice chapel of
King Oscar II (last king of Norway-Sweden) we came to the end of
the road, and out from there are the huge Barents sea, which I
experienced in storm when I was in the navy, ages ago. But this
time it was very calm and nice.
