I drove with my friend Esa Ranki in four days and three nights more than 3000 kilometres from Helsinki to Nordkapp and back. Our motivation was simply to see Nordkapp, the northest point of the European continent. We started early in the morning from Sakarinkatu, in Helsinki. It was dark, we had a red italian car, and a plastic bag full of 20 mark bills...

Our homebase near Saariselkä -- who enters from the pipe?


Reindeer are constant threat in Lapland


Driving takes its toll: time to get a swim somewhere in the nowhere


Enter Norway, no tolls or officials around


Target closing in, roads getting more curves and tunnels


Che pointing the way


Esa just goofing


Finally: the edge of Europe!


I was a bit disappointed not to get any closer...


...but Esa was alright


Here we go


On the way back, we had a night and this morning fog in Hammerfest


How to get motivation to drive back?


I tried to fish until insects took over


Sun is setting and so is our trip
