Hammerfest & On to Camp

After our hike since we were there we walked through downtown Hammerfest to see what we could see! The downtown is one small street (maybe 5 min to walk from one end to the other) and a square on the water. We learned that Hammerfest built northern Europes first hydroelectric power station and this is the fourth music pavilion (the blue pavilion) the others lost to fire, poor maintenance, and WWII!

After our short wander we headed on toward our next stop and man it was windy! We got out a couple of places and it was blowing us over/hard to open the doors! At the one stop we couldn’t get the side door open even! In the photo of the bridge you can even see it blew over the construction signs!

We had to drive through reindeer town again and I was like would there still be reindeer? And there was! They were not all over like yesterday, not in every yard, but more in larger groups. We had to stop and get water right by a group of them! And found a random rock with a stone carved reindeer on (the sign said 4000-6000 years old!) at the same stop. So that was fun!

We were driving out of town and there were reindeer in the road and Raymond was like what are you doing in the road? There is no food in the road! And right after he said that the one in the middle of the road looked at us, turned his butt towards us and peed! It was so funny. But then he did move off the road after that.Read more
