Norway, Kristiansand to Vardo, how long?
 

Hi
I am planning a trip next year & plan to leave the UK at the start of June & travel up Norway as far as Vardo then drop down into Finland & on into Russia.
Most of the trip will be solo but I may have company for Norway. How long should we allow to get from the port of Kristiansand to Vardo taking mostly scenic roads? Any must see sights along the way? I will be researching Norway before leaving but suggestions are gratefully received
Cheers, Andy.

If you see a Jersey registered, overloaded Suzuki Address 125 (think Honda C90 with a 125cc motor) on the way give me a wave !

I'm heading up to Nordkap from Jersey in June - allowing 4 or 5 weeks for the round trip from Jersey but I won't be in a hurry !

Maybe 10 days from Kristiansand to Vardø if you go in the right direction most of the time.

As you may know, DFDS are considering reopening the Newcastle-Bergen Ferry but there are som very nice roads between Kristiansand and Bergen.

Lots of good roads here: National Tourist Routes in Norway - www.nasjonaleturistveger.no

It depends how much time you have to spare. You can drive that distance in 2-3 days non-stop. But as said above - 10 days would be nice and enough to see quite much of Norway.

Kristiandsand to Bergen via Stavanger, 2 days.
Sightseing spots: Lysefjorden, Preikestolen,

Bergen to Trondheim via Geiranger, Åndalsnes, Kristandsund, 2-3 days
Sightseing spots: Geirangerfjorden, Trollstigen, Atlanterhavsveien (The Atlantic-ocean road)

Trondheim to Bodø via Kystriksveien route 17 (The coastal highway) 2 days.
Sightseing spots are many.....

Bodø to Tromsø via the islands of Lofoten, Vesterålen and Senja, 2 days
Sightseing spots are many....

Tromsø to Nordkapp, 1,5-2 days
Sightseing spots are many...

Nordkapp to Vardø, 1 long day.....
Sightseing spots: The abandoned fishing village of Hamningberg (The end of Europe), Nordpol kro in Vardø (The Nortpole pub in Vardø.... :D) and more....
