544.0. "North cape trip next June-July from Italy" by CESARE::ERMACORA (Hit any key to hang the cluster) Fri Apr 23 1993 12:08

Hi all,

I am planning to go to Cape North (Nordkapp, sp?), starting from Torino (Italy) 
around the 15-16 of june. The tavel will be done with a motorcamp, and other 
friends will be with us (some of them coming from PALERMO, SICILY!).

Reading this notefile (dir/tit=norway...), and reading some guides as well,
convinced me that the trip will definitely be worth the price (high...) 

I should have tons of questions to ask, but I will limit myself:

Please, I would know about:
	roads: how roads are in the last portion of the Norway? (say from
	Hammerfest to the cape)

	wheather: what kind of clothes should we bring?

	ferries: seen that the round trip is about 8000 km, we are planning to 
	use a ferry from Frederishaven (DK) to Oslo: is it expensive? Or is 
	better to cross from Copenhagen to Halsingborg then drive to Oslo?

	to see: we are planning to stay in Norway, postponing Sweden and Finland
	to another vacation, we would like to know what is really worth to see 
	(fiords, towns etc.)
Thanks in advance

    Hi Renato,
    I was a tourist in Norway last year in August.  Don't miss
    the Lofoten Islands - stunning scenery unlike anywhere on
    earth.  We took the ferry out of Bodoe to get there.
    Have a great trip!
