Karasjok is the Sami "capital", they even have their own parliament here. Traditionally the Sami are nomadic reindeer herders, going wherever the reindeer goes, but technology has changed traditional Sami ways for many of them and today many are living in one place, mainly in either Karasjok or Kautokeino; the two main settlements for the Sami. There isn't much in either place apart from sparse housing.

Repvåg
The way to Repv
The Tirpitz museum
On our way into Alta yesterday, we passed a road sign for the Tirpitz Museum. We have already discussed that the Tirpitz, the sister battleship to the more famous Bismarck, was sunk in a local fjord during WW2.
Fred Flintstone's art project
Yet again we had an early start and on our way out of the camping area we passed some bleary eyed students. It is a bit chillier today, but the sun is stiill shining.
