Had a rather good breakfast at the Smarthotel – I am not sure why it is named a Smart hotel, possibly it had technology so advanced I couldn’t operate the coffee machine. Anyway it was nice and comfortable. I then took the fast ferry 2 hours south to Alta, leaving a sunny Hammerfest
for a grey wet Alta
However the journey was, as ever, a visual feast thru the Fjords and the skies cleared up in Alta where I did the tourist thing, visited the Museum with its World Heritage Rock Art, as well as the Cathedral, which, to say the least, is unique in design and was closed, thus relieving me of the obligation to go inside.
Okay so the sky wasn’t really that colour. Opposite the Cathedral at the Scandic Hotel was yet another coach loading up with folks about to tame the journey up north to see the midnight sun at NordKapp
