Hammerfest; Sunday, 21 May, 2023

From Kunes the journey continued on much as it had previously with stunning views over mountains with wide plateaus and fast moving rivers before heading back down to fjord levels and joining the edge of the massive Porsangerfjorden, which we would drive around the edge of for almost two hours to reach the same point on the opposite bank, stopping in the local hub of Lakselv where our fourth drive of the day would take over, marking 75% complete.

The final part of the journey included the remainder of the journey along the Porsangerfjorden before turning inland and up into the more mountainous territory followed by a descent back down to sea level in Kvalsund and the final major structure of the day as we crossed over the Kvalsundbru and onto the island of Kvaløy, where Hammerfest is located.

Nearly 9 hours after setting off from Kirkenes we arrived in Hammerfest on time to the minute. After recovering our luggage we headed over to the hotel to checkin and then headed out into Hammerfest to grab some food, which at gone 9pm on a Sunday night meant Pølse (sausages) from the Narvesen.

Dinner completed we went for a quick wander around Hammerfest, before beating a retreat to the hotel and a nightcap as a brief but cold shower passed through.
