Vadsø & Vardø





Some small towns up north we drove past and stopped for a while for a coffee.

Vadsø is one of the biggest cities up in north of Norway and we were lucky enough to be here when it was the Vadsø Dagarna (Vadsø days with markets). They sold all kinds of Reindeer things and we bought a huge Reindeer carpet for around 55 euros. The town only had villas and own houses, nobody lives in apartments here. According to the internet the population is 5139...

Vardø is a town which used to be a huge fishing town a few decades ago. Now the town is full of empty houses and has started to look a little abandoned. Found a really cool church here build in 1958, the roof is really steep and specially build. Inside every second bench has a radiator under it so the -30 or -40 degree winters keep the faithful believer warm and cozy :)
The had a boat bringing fish into the harbor when we arrived so i got a look at some of the shipment.
