Talked to the Germans, Philip and Torsten, before leaving and it turned out they were going to the North Cape, too, on pretty much the same route I’d planned on taking as well. So we decided to cycle together for the time being.
We cycled northwards, crossed to the island of Andøya, and reached the town of Andenes at the very top of the island after about 110km. From there we took a ferry to Gryllefjord on the island of Senja Sázzá. On the boat we met two more Germans who were riding their Vespas to the North Cape. We pitched tents right outside Gryllefjord at a small lake that was warm enough for a swim.
